In this case, the plaintiff, the creator of a latex Halloween mask depicting a man in the moon, claims that the advertising campaigns of McDonald's, also depicting a mask with a man in the moon, infringed on his copyright. The court refers to the "Aliotti line of cases" for deciding this case. In particular, the intrinsic test of [[substantial similarity]] of expression leads the judges to conclude that the very treatment of the idea of a man in the moon is the only source of similarities, and that those similarities are not substantial; "no copyright protection is afforded to elements of expression that are indispensable or standard in treatment of idea".<ref name="data_east_v_epyx"/><ref name=pasillasmcdonald/>		An opinion that cites this case outside the computer industry is Pasillas v.

  Viruses in the Resident Evil series

  -	The Tyrant virus allegedly operates similarly to most other RNA viruses,<ref> [www3.capcom.co.jp] Wesker's Report II, part 1, page 8]</ref> but also has the abilities to reanimate dead tissue, to substantially mutate its host, and to infect nearly any tissue in any type of host. It animates dead tissue by killing and replacing any mitochondria in infected cells, and then combining with these cells to produce enough energy for motor and lower brain functions. By doing this, most of the body's systems, such as the circulatory or respiratory systems, are made redundant. However, this process has the drawback of severe [[necrosis]] in the host, and produces the distinctive rotted appearance of most BOWs. The mutations are produced when the virus incorporates itself into the host's genetic code and considerably alters it. Creatures with genetic structures different than humans generally show less severe mutations, and usually only increase in size.	+	The Tyrant virus allegedly operates similarly to most other RNA viruses,<ref> [www3.capcom.co.jp] Wesker's Report II, part 1, page 8]</ref> but also has the abilities to reanimate dead tissue, to substantially mutate its host, and to infect nearly any tissue in any type of host.

  	As a side effect of the virus' consumption of its host, specifically its digestion of the host's frontal lobes, all hosts suffer from increased aggression. The virus also damages the [[hypothalamus]], which results in a flood of neurotransmitters, enzymes, and hormones which induce a psychopathic rage and hunger in the host.
