The decision refuses the TOCIX artwork registration application (1-2023-88060), filed on 7 September 2023, inferring insufficient concrete human creative intervention from the applicant’s description of AI production. It is a DNDA administrative decision, not a final court judgment, new legislation or a review of all AI-assisted works. Pages 10–11 state notice, review and appeal procedures; actual notice, remedies and final status remain unchecked. On 17 October 2026, batch 808 rendered and read the remaining printed pages 4–8. Together with batch 807, this covers 11 substantive pages; physical page 12 is blank. Page 4 describes registration as declaratory and evidentiary rather than constitutive of rights; page 5 limits the registration function; pages 6–8 discuss human original expression and distinguish software tools from AI generation of specific expression. These are the authority’s 2023 reasons. Cited laws and cases were not separately obtained, and current law was not comprehensively checked. Page 4 records a digital-art classification and JPG attachment; the archive has not thereby obtained the artwork.
