Abstract
This chapter explores culinary presentations and copyright law, including the creative designs, plating, or presentations of food to be eaten, with an up-to-date analysis of this issue under the recent U.S. Supreme Court's decision on copyright of useful articles in Star Athletica, L.L.C. v. Varsity Brands, Inc. To explore copyright in culinary presentations and illustrate the copyright hurdles for culinary presentations, this chapter uses examples of three different styles of culinary presentations as case studies: Duff Goldman's presidential inaugural cake, Thomas Keller's famous salmon cornets, and a bowl of Vietnamese pho.
Keywords: copyright, useful articles, cake, pho, food art, star athletica, culinary presentations
