The leading case on copyrightability of AI created works, Thaler v. Perlmutter, is pending before the D.C. Court of Appeals. The case challenges the U.S. Copyright Office's refusal to register an AI-generated artwork by Dr. Stephen Thaler, arguing against the requirement of human authorship for copyright.
The Copyright Office rejected Thaler's registration application for lacking human authorship. The district court upheld this decision in 2023, asserting that copyright law protects only works of human creation. Thaler appealed this ruling, awaiting oral arguments.
