- Appellate dismissal quashed and matter remanded.
- Resumen
- No. The court could not require the claimant to produce an original controlled by the defendant, rely on a later-modified comparison disc, or infer from gifting or broadcasting that the author waived intellectual-property rights.
- Antecedentes
- The claimant deposited the musical story Narrators on 2000-09-30 as no. 567/2000. He alleged that a company used excerpts in its 2003-06-17 annual event and produced 500 promotional discs. After a 2004-12-23 demand he filed case 9059/2006. Trial awarded BHD 7,915.204; cross-appeals 716/2009 and 758/2009 resulted in dismissal.

- Cuestión jurídica
- Whether the appellate court could reject copying and waiver based on evidence it evaluated irrationally or placed beyond the claimant's control.
- Criterio
- No. The court could not require the claimant to produce an original controlled by the defendant, rely on a later-modified comparison disc, or infer from gifting or broadcasting that the author waived intellectual-property rights.
- Fundamento decisivo
- Each evidentiary inference must be individually rational and traceable; possession of the best evidence, later modification and conduct alleged as waiver must be evaluated without reversing practical control or implying a waiver not established by law.
- Límites
- Applied the 1993 decree to pre-2006 facts; not a GenAI or creativity-threshold holding.
