- Resultado
- Acquittals and return of seized property affirmed.
- Resumen
- The modifications did not transform the ancient patterns in a substantial creative respect and therefore did not create the claimed copyright.
- Antecedentes
- Two human designers combined or resized ancient elephant, Thai, Khmer and Western motifs for loom-compatible bed-textile layouts. Evidence showed the overall layouts were standard and the changes preserved the ancient core; expert percentages of change appeared only as evidence.
- Historia procesal
- The public prosecutor charged three defendants; the textile company joined as co-plaintiff. The Central IP and International Trade Court acquitted and ordered return of the textiles and loom. Prosecutor and co-plaintiff appealed; the Supreme Court affirmed.
- Cuestión jurídica
- Whether minor resizing, added details and conventional arrangement of public-domain motifs created an original applied-art work.
- Criterio
- The modifications did not transform the ancient patterns in a substantial creative respect and therefore did not create the claimed copyright.
- Fundamento decisivo
- Copying, resizing or making minor conventional changes to public-domain material does not become an original work merely because skill or effort was expended.
- Límites
- Criminal burdens and specific textile evidence matter. The court did not adopt the expert's percentages as a universal numerical originality threshold and considered no AI workflow.
