What it is

Each case has a summary page: case name, jurisdiction, date, the litigation, each party's arguments and the judgment. The jurisdictions are Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, Hungary, China, France, Italy, India, Austria and the Czech Republic. Uncovered cases may be sent to a submission address.

Place in the field

It records the legal reception of the provenance question: what courts decide about training on, and outputting, protected work. With no US cases listed, it sits beside the US litigation trackers, which were not read for this census.
