A Conclusion to Another Case with Dr. Bell
On April 23, 2019, Dr. Keith Bell voluntarily dismissed his infringement case against Stanford University with prejudice. As previously reported, in March 2019, Bell brought suit against Stanford University for alleged infringement of his sports psychology book entitled Winning Isn’t Normal. The alleged infringement occurred when Stanford’s Senior Associate Athletic Director tweeted an image that contained a selection from Bell’s book. Bell characterized the text in the image as “the heart of the … work.” This is the most recent in a string of cases Bell has filed against individuals and organizations for infringing his book (we previously reported on other cases in 2017 and 2018).
