Description	The five copyrighted designs that were at issue in the U.S. Supreme Court case Star Athletica, L. L. C. v. Varsity Brands, Inc.

Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	To support encyclopedic discussion of this work in this article. The illustration is specifically needed to support the following point(s): The subject of the article is a court decision about the eligibility for copyright protection of these five designs. The file is pertinent because the opinions issued varied on whether the two-dimensional design elements could be separated as copyrightable artwork separate from the cheerleading uniform as a useful articles, which are not eligible for copyright protection. For example, the article quotes the dissent which does not agree with the other justices: "Look at the designs that Varsity submitted to the Copyright Office [the designs in this fair use image]. You will see only pictures of cheerleader uniforms. And cheerleader uniforms are useful articles. ... [T]he design features that Varsity seeks to protect are not 'capable of existing independently o[f] the utilitarian aspects of the article.'"
