German court rulings on AI and copyright
Overview
The Higher Regional Court (OLG) of Frankfurt am Main ruled that song lyrics remain protected by copyright even if an artificial intelligence system, such as ‘Suno-AI’, is used during the music production process.
The court determined that if a claimant can convincingly demonstrate that the ‘raw version’ of a work was created through original human creativity, the subsequent use of AI for the published version does not negate copyright protection, provided essential creative elements remain.
