Circuit Judge Stephanos Bibas sets the stage for what could be one of the first trials related to the unauthorized use of data to train AI systems.
"This case continues to be about Ross’ theft of Thomson Reuters proprietary commentary, analysis, and organizational system," the spokesperson said.
Thomson Reuters' 2020 lawsuit accused legal research company Ross Intelligence of copying Westlaw's "headnotes," which summarize points of law in court opinions.
Thomson Reuters accused Ross of misusing thousands of the headnotes to train its AI-based legal search engine.
Bibas also said he could not decide whether a ruling for Ross or Thomson Reuters would best serve the public interest.
