LONDON, Nov 4 (Reuters) - Getty Images ( GETY ) largely lost its

landmark lawsuit against artificial intelligence company

Stability AI over its image generator at London's High Court on

Tuesday.

Seattle-based Getty, which produces editorial content and

creative stock images and video, accused Stability AI of using

its images to "train" its Stable Diffusion system, which can

generate images from text inputs.

The company sued Stability AI for trademark infringement and

for secondary copyright infringement, alleging that Stability AI

imported into the United Kingdom an AI model which breached its

copyright.

Judge Joanna Smith said in a written ruling that Getty had

succeeded "in part" on trademark infringement, but that her

findings were "both historic and extremely limited in scope".

She also dismissed the secondary copyright infringement claim.
