On March 19, 2025, the Chinese Zhangjiagang Court ruled in a recent AIGC copyright infringement case Feng v. Dongshan Company that, the plaintiff’s AI-generated pictures lacked enough original authorship to be copyrightable and that the prompts were not copyrightable either.Unlike the previous AIGC copyrightability cases where the local Chinese courts recognized the original authorship in the AI-generated work, this is the first Chinese case under which AI-generated pictures were denied copyright protection.
