- Treat training permission and output copyrightability as separate questions. ✓US copyright analysis distinguishes permission to use training material from whether generated output contains protectable human-authored expression.
- Assume permission to train establishes ownership of generated templates.Permission concerning training material does not by itself determine copyright ownership or protection of later generated outputs.
- Assume generated templates are protected because the organization paid the vendor.Payment or procurement does not independently establish human authorship or copyrightability of machine-determined expression.
- Treat lawful access to records as permission for every downstream use.Access to source material does not automatically resolve training permissions or copyright questions for all later uses.
The trap
Separate rights in inputs from authorship and protection questions concerning outputs. How to remember it
Training-material permission and output copyrightability address different legal questions and require separate analysis.
