- Resultado
- Narrow foreign copyright and infringement ruling.
- Resumen
- Copyright subsisted narrowly in the pleaded risk and price charts because the developer made the creative visual-layout choices; the declaration was limited accordingly, and two admitted post-termination uses infringed.
- Antecedentes
- A developer's OptionNET Explorer software generated risk and price charts populated with market data and user selections. The dispute concerned ownership and infringement after termination of business licences.
- Historia procesal
- The High Court declared that GUI, software-generated displays and logo were artistic works authored by the developer but dismissed infringement. Both sides appealed.
- Cuestión jurídica
- Whether particular risk and price charts were artistic works/original intellectual creations, who authored them under UK s. 9(3), and whether two admitted post-termination uses infringed.
- Criterio
- Copyright subsisted narrowly in the pleaded risk and price charts because the developer made the creative visual-layout choices; the declaration was limited accordingly, and two admitted post-termination uses infringed.
- Fundamento decisivo
- Under UK law, attribution and originality of software outputs depend on work-specific human expressive choices and the pleaded work, not on software generation alone.
- Límites
- English, non-binding, deterministic trading software, substantial identified developer choices, and not a foundation-model GenAI case. It is not Belize jurisprudence and must never be counted as local.
