- Resultado
- Flugleiðir was acquitted of all claims; each side bore its own costs in both instances.
- Resumen
- The court recognized a perpetual licence/right of use for the airline arising from the relationship and compensation, but held copying by the student team unproved. The case predates current article 42b and is useful for allocation and evidentiary proof, not as a holding that an employer authors outputs.
- Antecedentes
- A pilot developed an aircraft load-calculation program while also performing a separately compensated advisory role. The parties disputed copyright, the airline’s right of continued use and whether a student team had copied the program.
- Historia procesal
- The action was filed on 9 July 1998; Reykjavík District Court ruled on 25 November 1999. The programmer appealed on 24 February 2000 and the airline cross-appealed on 13 June 2000.
- Cuestión jurídica
- Whether the compensation and agreements left the airline a continuing right to use KALEX, whether additional fees were owed, and whether access or copying by the student team had been proved.
- Criterio
- The court recognized a perpetual licence/right of use for the airline arising from the relationship and compensation, but held copying by the student team unproved. The case predates current article 42b and is useful for allocation and evidentiary proof, not as a holding that an employer authors outputs.
- Fundamento decisivo
- The one-time ISK 500,000 payment and the parties' performance supported an unlimited-duration use right distinct from monthly maintenance services. The claimant supplied neither a court-appointed expert report nor other adequate technical proof that the later program derived from KALEX.
- Límites
- Non-AI software/licence case. It does not decide originality of generated outputs, and it predates the present employee-software provision.
- Relevancia
- doctrina-general
- Referencias relacionadas
- Peso del precedente
- Published Supreme Court judgment, controlling nationally on the issues actually decided; analogical only for GenAI. Integración/votación: The published judgment identifies the panel and no dissent; unanimity is not independently asserted.
