Charlie Raphun, a Partner at Cranfill Sumner LLP, was featured in the April 2025 edition of North Carolina Lawyers Weekly in an article titled “First AI Fair Use Case May Prove to Be Outlier.”
The piece explores a recent federal court decision in Thomson Reuters Enterprise Centre GMBH, et al. v. Ross Intelligence Inc., the first significant application of copyright and fair use doctrine to artificial intelligence.
Charlie shares his perspective on what makes this case unique and whether future appeals would focus more on AI or traditional copyright law.
Charlie is a Partner based in Cranfill Sumner’s Raleigh office.
