Paul Llewellyn Delves Into AI Art Appeal Case in Bloomberg Law
Intellectual Property partner Paul Llewellyn was recently quoted in the Bloomberg Law article, “AI Art Appeal’s Procedural Flaws Put Broader Ruling in Doubt,” which discusses the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit’s focus on procedural issues in a case involving efforts to copyright AI-generated work.
“The appellate court seems to be reluctant to reach beyond the record in the case and address some really interesting and intriguing questions that weren’t really fleshed out” at the U.S. District Court in 2023, Llewellyn said. “It certainly seems like the appellate panel feels like the appellant here, Dr. Thaler, is trying to kind of shift his argument on appeal.”
Llewellyn added that “we’re going to see more cases like this where there are more facts, that involve more human input, that involve iterative process.”
