- Foreign non-infringement ruling with object-separation analysis.
- Resumen
- Individual stored frames could be graphic works, but a moving sequence did not create an additional graphic work; general ideas and output similarities did not show copying of code, architecture or substantial expression.
- Antecedentes
- Competing pool-video games shared ideas and gameplay features. Nova claimed artistic and software copyright in individual frames, sequences and program output.
- Historia procesal
- After Kitchin J rejected substantial copying, Nova appealed; the Court of Appeal reviewed identification of artistic works, static frames, software expression and abstract ideas.
- Cuestión jurídica
- Whether a dynamic series of computer-generated frames was itself an additional artistic work and whether output similarities established copying of software or artwork.
- Criterio
- Individual stored frames could be graphic works, but a moving sequence did not create an additional graphic work; general ideas and output similarities did not show copying of code, architecture or substantial expression.
- Fundamento decisivo
- Separate the program, individual graphic frames, sequence and abstract ideas; output similarity alone is insufficient to prove copying of software expression.
- Límites
- English, non-binding, pre-GenAI video-game software; not authority that a Belize user or developer necessarily made necessary arrangements for a modern model output.
