Intellectual Property (IP) Partner and head of Katten's Artificial Intelligence (AI) Working Group Michael Justus was quoted in a Law360 article highlighting key copyright cases to watch for the rest of 2024, including notable disputes related to AI such as Thomson Reuters Enterprise Centre GmbH et al. v. ROSS Intelligence Inc.
The ROSS Intelligence case is on the verge of an August trial, and Mike noted its parallels to numerous pending complaints against AI companies. "Going by the court's summary judgment opinion last fall, a lot of the issues that the judge discussed relating to copyright infringement and copyright fair use and the four fair use factors are very similar issues to the arguments being raised by the parties in these other [AI] cases," he explained, adding that whatever happens at trial will help guide copyright practitioners in other cases.
"I think there's enough parallels with that case as far as training an AI model and copyright infringement and copyright fair use that I think it's going to be helpful in the other [AI] cases," Mike said.
