Stability AIThe company failed to go to trial in England before, The infringement is rejectedGetty ImagesCertain claims of the company's intellectual property rights.

Earlier this year, GettyAt the High Court in London vsStability AIA legal action was filed, Alleged infringement of its intellectual property rights. The claim involvesStability AICan automatically generate images "Stable Diffusion" System.

GettyThe infringement claims both involveStability AIHow to use its images as data input for training and developmentStable DiffusionSystem, Also involveStable DiffusionOutput generated by the system, GettyClaims that these outputs are composite images, To a large extent copied its copyrighted works and／Or bandGettyBrand mark.

Stability AIAsking the high court to dismiss itGettyTwo sides of the lawsuit, So that the following claims are not considered at a full trial: One is the litigation claim of training and development, The second isGettyInvolvement of claimsStable DiffusionClaims of secondary copyright infringement relating to the availability of the system in the UK.

however, Earlier this month, High Court Judge Joanna．Smith (Joanna Smith) expression, The legal position on both issues is contentious and unclear, Therefore it should not be followedStability AITo dismiss the claim, It should be considered substantively at trial.

Requests for training and development, Smith's statement, Because copyright is a territorial right, The central question raised by this appeal isStable DiffusionWhere does the systematic training process take place——Let's say it happened in England, Stability AIMay be liable for copyright infringement, But if it happens outside the UK, So according to the UK "copyright, Design and patent law" (CDPA) , There is no copyright infringement in this jurisdiction.

GettyandStability AIright "Location problem" They all have different opinions: The judge said, GettyHave inferred, withStable DiffusionThe training and development of the system in relation to the alleged infringement took place on the UK server and／Or on a computer, But she also said, Stability AIThe evidence shows thatStable DiffusionThe development of the system took place in the United States.

Smith claims: "I noticed, If this is a trial of the above conduct, The evidence I mentioned earlier (On the face of it) Would strongly support such a conclusion, The balance of probabilities, Stable DiffusionThe development or training of the system does not take place in the UK. " however, This is not a trial of the lawsuit, If I were to make a summary judgment, I have to be convinced, GettyThere was no real opportunity to refute the evidence at trial, And, on balance, prove that the inference they ask the court to make is justified, In addition, I have to be convinced, In the absence of probable cause, Trust that a fuller investigation of the facts will increase or change the evidence available to the trial judge, Thus affecting the outcome of the location question.

"After carefully reviewing all the pre-trial evidence, I'm not satisfied. In my opinion, (i) Evidence may be related toStability AIThe factual decision I have been asked to make on the question of location contradicts; (ii) Raise outstanding issues and inconsistencies of evidence relating to the award; and (iii) There are reasonable grounds to believe that disclosure may be increased or changed withStable DiffusionEvidence on the location of systems training and development. All of this clearly supports such a view, The training and development claims have real prospects of success, It must be allowed to be brought to trial. At present, I certainly can't sayGettyThe appeal is doomed to fail, " She points out.

The judge said, GettyWhether the secondary infringement action "It really holds water" , Depend onCDPAThe first22, 23and27Striped center "item" How should we interpret the term, And whether it includes intangibles such as providing software online.

On the basis ofCDPAThe first22article, If a person does not have the necessary permission, Importing into the UK an article which it knows or has reason to believe is a copy of an infringing work, This item is not intended for personal and domestic use, Would constitute copyright infringement.

The first23clause, In similar circumstances, If a person in the business process has, Sell or let, Or offer and display for sale or rent, Public display or distribution of exhibits in the course of business, Or distribute the work outside the business, To the detriment of the copyright owner, Articles which it knows or has reason to believe are copies of infringing works, Would constitute copyright infringement.

"Infringing copy" See the meaning ofCDPAThe first27article.
