In 2021, while studying in the Media, Communication and Space Law program at the University of Luxembourg, I wrote a course paper on copyrighting dreams in IP law. As AI technology continues to rapidly develop, I'm reminded of the relevance of my essay in understanding copyright in AI. That's why I recently published the essay on my blog.

In this article, DLA Piper lawyers Edward Chatterton and Wilson Lung explain a recent Chinese court judgment and review how luxury brands can protect copyright in AI-assisted work. In the recent Li v. Liu decision, the Beijing Internet Court was willing to grant copyright protection over a work created by prompting an AI tool, a more liberal approach than the position the authorities have taken in the United States. However, the court’s decision very much depended on the facts of the case, demonstrating that the application of the legal principles can present complexities in practice. #ai #luxurylaw #internet #Beijing #courts #iplaw https://lnkd.in/gqaR625N

The OPEN AI Litigation that is far from finished... On February 12, 2024, the United States District Court for Northern District of California, in the Tremblay et al v. OpenAI, Inc. et al, dismissed several claims against OPEN AI and affiliates. Two claims survived, Direct Copyright Infringement and Unfair Competition under California law. Between September 2023 and January 2024, at least 3 lawsuits have been filed before the U.S. District Court for Southern District of New York, against MICROSOFT, OPEN AI and its affiliates. The plaintiffs alleged Copyright Infringement, Contributory Copyright Infringement, Violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act for Removal of Copyright Management Information and Common Law Unfair Competition By Misappropriation. On February of 2024, the California plaintiffs filed motions to dismiss the New York lawsuits or, alternatively transfer the cases. HOWEVER, the New York claims are still alive... What could be the effect of the California judge analysis to the New York cases... Interesting... I am really looking forward to read that decision or to be at the Court to hear the oral arguments... 😊 Attached is the California Amended Complaint filed a week ago.

You might recall that the judge in  Andersen v. Stability AI —the case in which a group of visual artists sued the makers of several different generative AI platforms for copyright infringement—tossed most of the plaintiffs’ claims last year.

"Digital watermarks combined with AI will speed up the resolution of legal cases about copyright infringements, a new study says. The technology would enhance the assessment of data about potential breaches and make it easier for lawsuits to be be brought. It will also lead to more evidence being available to the courts. But the increasing use of watermarking—which makes it easier to detect copying—and AI is also likely to mean a proliferation of small-scale disputes, experts have warned. Existing laws means AI can be used for arbitration and mediation, through examining data and supporting the use of robo-judges to help make decisions." #digitalwater #business
