Case chronology
Beijing Internet Court presents the crystal cat pendant copyright evidence case
The court's case account states that Zhou did not submit the images' original generation records. Retrospective descriptions and simulations did not establish creative labour at the time of original generation. All claims were dismissed at first instance; the appeal was dismissed and the original judgment upheld.
Research question
institutional context for proving the creative process in AI-assisted design, particularly the evidentiary distinction between retrospective simulations and contemporaneous generation records.
