World IP Review reports that a judge has granted Ross Intelligence the right to appeal in its legal dispute with Thomson Reuters over the use of proprietary legal content in training its AI. The case is being closely watched as it addresses whether using copyrighted legal databases to train AI tools constitutes “fair use” under US law.

The ruling allows Ross to argue that its AI system uses the data in a transformative, non-infringing way. The outcome could significantly influence how legal databases, court opinions, and legal reasoning can be integrated into commercial AI systems.

The decision adds momentum to the growing legal conversation around data usage and fair use in AI training.
