The UK High Court has delivered a mixed ruling in the copyright case between Getty Images and Stability AI, largely siding with Stability AI. The court dismissed claims of secondary infringement, ruling that Stability AI's Stable Diffusion model does not store or copy protected works, thus not infringing under the UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act. However, the court found limited trademark violations due to the replication of watermarks.
This decision underscores ongoing challenges in the intersection of AI technology and intellectual property rights. Similar cases in the U.S. have also seen major copyright claims against AI models dismissed. In light of these developments, some blockchain and Web3 companies are exploring data traceability solutions, such as NFTs, to enhance ownership tracking and source verification of creative works.
