Public Knowledge celebrated a ruling by the US Copyright Office that allows for the repair of food preparation equipment, including popular soft serve ice cream machines. This decision, made in collaboration with iFixit, aims to support franchise owners and independent repair shops, making it easier to provide timely service. Although the exemption is narrower than originally sought, it is seen as a significant step toward improving consumer rights in repairability. Public Knowledge's Meredith Rose expressed optimism that this win will promote third-party repair activities and enhance customer satisfaction.
