Cline Williams Wright Johnson & Oldfather is proud to announce that three attorneys were named “Lawyer of Year” in the Best Lawyers in America® 2026 edition.
The U.S. Copyright Office recently released a pre-publication version of Part 3 of its Copyright and Artificial Intelligence Report series. This report focuses on training materials used to train generative artificial intelligence (“AI”), and whether developers need licenses to use third-party copyrighted works. The USCO explained that sometimes developers will need to license third-party copyrighted works, and sometimes will not need to license those works, depending largely on whether the use is considered fair. While recognizing the merits of potential government intervention to spur licensing, the Office concluded that market development of creative licensing solutions on a case-by-case basis is the best current option.
