5+ hour, 45+ min ago (284+ words) New Delhi: Artificial Intelligence (AI) could potentially resolve more than 60 per cent of India's pending litigation if routine small-ticket cases are shifted to automated systems, Supreme Court judge Justice Manmohan said on Saturday. If such matters are moved to AI-assisted platforms, he added, "more than 60 per cent of our litigation would get resolved, and the remaining infrastructure could focus on the core 40 per cent of the litigation." He also said AI could help cluster thousands of similar cases, such as land acquisition disputes, allowing courts to dispose of entire groups of matters through a single ruling. However, he cautioned that AI's risks, including hallucinated case laws, algorithmic bias and privacy concerns, must be addressed before large-scale use. While predicting a hybrid judicial model where technology handles routine tasks, he stressed, "The ultimate character of justice is not the algorithm, but…...

19+ hour, 38+ min ago (298+ words) The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has clarified its ground rules governing AI-assisted inventions. The new guidance states that inventors are free to use AI systems during their invention process, without these AI systems becoming co-inventors legally. "They are analogous to laboratory equipment, computer software, research databases, or any other tool that assists in the inventive process," reads the guidance. It states that the same principles apply to AI systems as "they may provide services and generate ideas, but they remain tools used by the human inventor who conceived the claimed invention." "Artificial intelligence systems, regardless of their sophistication, cannot be named as inventors or joint inventors on a patent application, as they are not natural persons." When multiple people are involved in creating an invention with AI assistance, the organization will apply its traditional joint-inventorship principles, including what's known…...

20+ hour, 9+ min ago (656+ words) The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) could help clear more than 60 per cent of India's litigation backlog if decisions in matters involving routine, small-ticket offences are shifted to automated systems, Supreme Court judge Justice Manmohan said on Saturday. Justice Manmohan was speaking at the India Law, AI and Tech Summit 2025, organised by Oak Bridge at Delhi, where he delivered the keynote address. The judge observed that the use of technology should free judges from clerical burdens and allow courts to concentrate on complex adjudication. He explained that a large portion of India's case load comprises minor, repetitive disputes that do not require nuanced judicial evaluation. Describing the category of cases that could be diverted to AI-enabled decision platforms, he said: "Small ticket offenses" traffic challenges, check bouncing cases. They could be decided by AI because these are matters of routine…...

21+ hour, 24+ min ago (537+ words) Asha: You saw the fresh ruling in the TCS'DXC case? Meera: Yes, but I still don't fully get what "trade secrets" mean here. Asha: In this case, trade secrets are CSC's confidential systems given to Transamerica ' the core life-insurance software, platforms like CyberLife and Vantage, and the underlying source code and technical manuals. That bundle of non-public know-how is what CSC says was misused. Meera: And the courts have broadly agreed with that version. Asha: Yes. After a trial, the US district court held TCS liable for misappropriation of trade secrets. The US Court of Appeals has now largely upheld that, saying TCS's use of CSC's confidential information wasn't authorised by the contracts, which limited access to work done solely for Transamerica, not to building a rival platform or pitching for new business. Meera: That explains the big damages number…...

Solidaris Capital LLC and Cirrus Investments LLC have sued Head Genetics, Carita Investments LLC, and individual defendant Mark Bianchi, alleging that the company misled them during a fundraising effort structured as the "Tech2head Recovery" charitable-deduction securities offering. According to the complaint, nearly every cornerstone of Head Genetics" narrative breaks down under scrutiny. Court documents also state that searches of FDA databases revealed no submissions, no applications, and no regulatory filings by Head Genetics.

The complaint goes further. It claims that: The investors argue that the combination of an unverifiable timeline, a lack of regulatory progress, and the…...
