Key holding or allegation
The court found no protection on the evidence because the prompts left the actual creative decisions to the AI, while recognising that copyright may be possible where human creative choices objectively determine the output.
Why it matters
Direct German copyrightability authority focused on degree of human control rather than a categorical AI exclusion.
Facts
Claimant asserted copyright protection in AI-generated logo designs.
Issues before the court
Whether the human prompting/creative control was sufficient for protected human authorship.
What the court did not decide

AG Munchen
First-instance merits judgment: AI-generated logos were not protected on the evidence because prompts left the actual creative choices to the AI; sufficiently determinative human choices could support protection in another case.
