The case
A recent case in the UK, Getty Images US Inc &
Others v Stability AI Ltd, has absolutely dominated IP
news with Judge Joanna Smith delivering a mammoth judgment of 205
pages.
What was the case about?
The case related to millions of photos and videos owned or
licensed by Getty Images, and the claim was that these photos and
videos were or had been used unlawfully to train the Stable
Diffusion (“AI”) model.
Given that the court's judgment has already been widely
reported, and lawyers and other interested parties have commented
on this matter in a great deal of detail, we will focus this
article on some of the major aspects of the case.
