Who Owns the Code Claude Wrote?
The article examines who owns code generated by AI tools like Claude Code, arguing that copyright law does not clearly protect purely AI-generated output because it lacks human authorship. It explains that ownership depends on factors such as whether a human made meaningful creative contributions, the terms of employment agreements, and how the code was produced. The main point is that developers and organizations must document human input and understand legal context, because rights over AI-generated code are uncertain and vary by situation.
