We are disappointed that the U.S. Supreme Court has decided in favor of
Supap Kirtsaeng and overturned the Second Circuit’s ruling. It is a loss
for the U.S. economy, and students and authors in the U.S. and around
the world.
Wiley wants to thank the many organizations, companies, and individuals
who filed Amicus briefs and spoke publicly and privately in support of
our position.
