Mifflin v. Dutton, 190 U.S. 265 (1903), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held The authorized appearance of a work in a magazine without a copyright notice specifically dedicated to that work transfers that work into the public domain. It concerned the publication of The Minister's Wooing by Harriet Beecher Stowe, published chapter-by-chapter in Atlantic Monthly before and after a copyright filing, and never with the required notice in the magazine. This case shared its reasoning with the previous case Mifflin v. R. H. White Company.[1]
