The case turns on what "digital identification fingerprint" means, and earlier rulings have already cut its territorial reach, its claimed damages and its late amendments. Lessons for patentees, implementers and Korean filers on both sides. https://www.patenty.ai/en/blog/ip-news/one-claim-term-and-a-pleading-gap-what-the-keeex-hearing-teaches-upc-patentees-and-standard-implemen https://www.patenty.ai/en/blog/ip-news/one-claim-term-and-a-pleading-gap-what-the-keeex-hearing-teaches-upc-patentees-and-standard-implemen Tue, 06 Oct 2026 22:06:18 GMT Unknown ip-news The Third Circuit held that ROSS Intelligence's use of 2,243 Westlaw headnotes to train a competing, non-generative legal search tool was not fair use. The first appellate ruling on AI training is narrow on its facts. The court assessed all four fair-use factors together; for ROSS's minimally transformative, substitutive use, the necessity argument did not justify copying.
