"ROSS's petition for review was granted by the Third Circuit in June (making it the first appellate court to grant review of a copyright/ AI case) and asked the court to reconsider the district court's determinations that Westlaw's headnotes and Key Number System are original, and that ROSS' use of those materials to train its AI model for legal research wasn't transformative."
"Circuit Judge Stephanos Bibas, sitting by designation in the District of Delaware, issued a ruling in February of this year updating a previous summary judgment decision that had dismissed copyright infringement allegations made by Westlaw legal research service provider Thomson Reuters against ROSS. Among the top reconsiderations in Judge Bibas' February decision was his fair use analysis, which recognized the non-transformative nature of ROSS' use of copyrighted headnotes that summarize legal decisions."
A number of amici filed briefs supporting ROSS Intelligence's appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, challenging originality and fair use rulings from the District of Delaware in a copyright suit brought by Thomson Reuters. The Third Circuit granted review in June, the first appellate grant in a copyright/AI case, asking whether Westlaw's headnotes and the Key Number System qualify as original works and whether use of those materials to train AI is transformative. Circuit Judge Stephanos Bibas issued an updated February ruling recognizing ROSS's use of copyrighted headnotes as non-transformative and left key issues, including liability and the scope of Thomson Reuters' compilation copyright, for jury determination.
