Judge Stephanos Bibas recently revised his ruling in a copyright case involving Thomson Reuters and Ross Intelligence. His updated decision acknowledges the non-transformative use of copyrighted legal headnotes by Ross. Previously, Bibas had largely dismissed motions from both parties, emphasizing that disputed issues needed jury examination. In this new ruling, he grants most of Thomson Reuters' requests for partial summary judgment while denying Ross' fair use defense. The case highlights the evolving interpretation of fair use, particularly concerning AI applications in legal research.
Wisdom does not always find me, so I try to embrace it when it does—even if it comes late, as it did here.
Judge Bibas invited new briefing from both parties after realizing that his first decision had not gone far enough.
