Getty’s Trademark Claim Partly Upheld, Copyright Arguments Rejected

[mendez]

Getty Images partially succeeded in its case against Stability AI after the UK court found the AI model occasionally reproduced its watermark, constituting limited trademark infringement.

However, the judge dismissed copyright allegations, ruling that Stable Diffusion’s training method doesn’t violate the UK’s Copyright, Designs and Patents Act (CDPA) because the system doesn’t store or recreate images.

The decision underscores the legal gray area surrounding AI training on copyrighted material.

This ruling sets a tone — AI image rights are still a gray area.
