Those courts will broaden the ruling and proclaim that all APIs are unprotected by Copyright.

For example, C++ does not even have a formal way of abstracting an interface. Header files are not distinguished pieces of code, they are just something put into a different file. They can contain copyrightable code in macros, and you can include inline implementations of functions and member functions even in case the header file is present in multiple compilation units.

So there is no way around applying the logic and analysis anew in each case.
