A celebrated conjecture of Kobayashi and Lang says that the canonical line bundle KX of a Kobayashi hyperbolic compact complex manifold X is ample. In this note we prove that KX is ample if X is projective and satisfies a stronger condition of nondegenerate negative total k-jet curvature. We use positivity of direct image sheaves and decomposition of jets in order to produce pluridifferentials on X.
