 The insurer filed a declaratory judgment action against an architecture firm seeking a declaration that it had no duty to indemnify for a copyright infringement. This case is Mid-Continent Casualty Company v. Kipp Flores Architects, 602 Fed.Appx. 985 (2015).

 Kipp Flores obtained a judgment against a builder, Hallmark Design Homes for copyright infringement for building hundreds of buildings from its designs without licensing them. Hallmark's insurer, Mid-Continent, filed a declaratory judgment action seeking a declaration that it has no duty to indemnify under its policies. The U.S. District Court ruled in favor of the architecture firm and this appeal followed.
