The threshold issue of human authorship as a prerequisite for obtaining copyright registration at the US Copyright Office is currently being litigated in federal court in the District...

An artificial intelligence inventor has bashed the U.S. Copyright Office's arguments that art created by his AI system is not copyrightable because the machine is not human, telling the D.C. Circuit that the government cannot overcome the fact that the work exists, it's original and it qualifies for registration, regardless of its origin.

Recent debates about AI patentability have focused on whether the outputs of an AI system, such as a neural network, can be patented. If you thought that was a cutting-edge question, then consider whether an input to an AI system, such as a prompt to a large language model (LLM), can be patented.

LONDON (Reuters) -A U.S. computer scientist on Wednesday lost his bid to register patents over inventions created by his artificial intelligence system in a landmark case in Britain about whether AI can own patent rights. Stephen Thaler wanted to be granted two patents in the UK for inventions he says were devised by his "creativity machine" called DABUS. His attempt to register the patents was refused by Britain's Intellectual Property Office on the grounds that the inventor mu...

A federal district court held in Thaler v. Perlmutter that an AI-generated image, "A Recent Entrance to Paradise," cannot be copyrighted due to the lack of sufficient human contribution to its creation.

Last Friday, a federal judge issued the United States' first opinion that AI content generated autonomously without human involvement is not copyrightable under United States copyright law.

As AI systems demonstrate unprecedented capabilities to create, manipulate, and generate original content, the interplay between AI and copyright law has come to the forefront of legal...

The growth of artificial intelligence (“AI”) and generative AI is moving copyright law into unprecedented territory. While US copyright law continues to develop around AI, one boundary...

Last week, the Writers Guild of America reached a tentative three-year deal to resolve a writer’s strike following a labor dispute with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. A major point of contention between writers and producers was the use of artificial intelligence in the screenwriting process.

An award-winning image was denied U.S. copyright protections by the Copyright Office Review Board because it contained more than a minimal amount of AI-generated content.
