Courts in the United States rejected this notion in "Feist Publications v. Rural Telephone Service" (1991) and "Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp." (1999). In these cases, the courts asserted that originality was required for copyright protection. Since the Feist decision, many common law countries have moved towards applying a similar standard. A similar precedent was set in Canada by cases such as "Tele-Direct (Publications) Inc. v. American Business Information Inc." (1997), where the court concluded that compilations of data must embody originality and creativity in order to be copyrighted.
