Artificial Intelligence Industry Association Inc v Geisel Software Inc
AI-generated text. This page was generated using artificial intelligence.
Artificial Intelligence Industry Association, Inc. (AIIA) sued Geisel Software, Inc. over U.S. Patent No. 11,257,272, titled Generating synthetic image data for machine learning. The case concerns a claimed method for creating labeled synthetic images used to train machine-learning systems.[3] The lawsuit was filed on September 5, 2025.[1]
September 2026 standing decision
On September 23, 2026, Judge P. Kevin Castel granted Geisel’s motion to dismiss for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. The court found that the first purported assignment in the patent’s ownership chain had not been signed by the inventors before AIIA filed suit. The inventors signed that assignment in December 2025, but the court held that this post-filing step could not cure the absence of Article III standing at the lawsuit’s outset. The court dismissed the action without prejudice and directed entry of judgment for Geisel. The ruling addressed standing, rather than deciding whether Geisel infringed the patent.[2]
