On February 11, 2025, Judge Bibas of the Third Circuit issued a decision granting partial summary judgment to Thomson Reuters in the closely-watched case of Thomson Reuters Enterprise Centre GmbH v. Ross Intelligence Inc. Judge Bibas revisited his 2023 decision largely denying summary judgment in the case due to disputed facts, and the new decision is the first time a U.S. court has reached a conclusion concerning the application of copyright’s fair use doctrine to the use of works in training data for artificial intelligence and machine learning. In this client alert, we examine the details of the decision and provide key takeaways for its impact on copyright law and fair use.

On February 5, 2025, in one of her first actions as the nation’s chief law enforcement official, Attorney General Pam Bondi issued several new memoranda that significantly refocus US Department of Justice (DOJ) national security investigations, resources, and enforcement priorities. With two of these memos, the Attorney General has simultaneously deprioritized, and in some cases eliminated, a number of existing national security initiatives, all in the broader context of guidance to prioritize DOJ resources toward the investigation and prosecution of transnational organized crime and drug cartels. In this client alert, we outline the key takeaways from these memos and the potential impacts they will have on the national security landscape.
