ROSS: ROSS Intelligence Appeals Originality, Fair Use Rulings in Thomson Reuters AI Legal Tool Lawsuit

Yesterday, artificial intelligence (AI) developer ROSS Intelligence filed a petition for the certification of an interlocutory appeal under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b) to challenge originality and fair use findings entered in the District of Delaware in a copyright infringement case filed by global legal information company Thomson Reuters. ROSS Intelligence's petition asks the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit 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.
