"ROSS Intelligence filed its petition to the Third Circuit asking for an interlocutory appeal of the issues of copyrightability of Westlaw headnotes and ROSS’s fair use defense... I expect the Third Circuit will grant this petition. I’d be shocked if they didn’t." https://t.co/ti84jlX78D
Just in: the trial in the Dominion/Newsmax case, which was scheduled to begin on April 28th with opening arguments, has been delayed and will be rescheduled due a professional conflict with the judge.
The trial involving Thomson Reuters and legal technology startup ROSS Intelligence has been postponed to allow for an appeal. ROSS Intelligence has petitioned the Third Circuit Court for an interlocutory appeal focusing on two key issues: the copyrightability of Westlaw headnotes and ROSS's fair use defense. The company contends that the court's earlier decision, which found ROSS infringed on copyrighted material from Thomson Reuters' Westlaw platform to develop its AI-backed legal research tool, warrants review. Meanwhile, the defamation trial between Dominion Voting Systems and Newsmax Media, originally scheduled to begin on April 28, has also been delayed due to a professional conflict involving the presiding judge. A Delaware vice chancellor has postponed the billion-dollar lawsuit's trial kickoff, and the new date is yet to be determined.
