Copyright Office writing strengthens the case that models themselves are not IP
BlancheMinerva · x · 2026-07-25
The author says the U.S. Copyright Office writings from last year support the view that models themselves are probably not IP, though they do not take a fully explicit stance.
The thread argues there is a strong case for that conclusion and links to the office's prior writing as background. The topic is narrowly about the legal status of models as intellectual property, not about model capability or product news.
