Microsoft Cleared from Copyright Lawsuit; Legal Focus Shifts to OpenAI in Manhattan Court

A recent legal development has taken place in a Manhattan federal court concerning The Intercept’s lawsuit against Microsoft and OpenAI. The case accuses the two technology entities of improperly removing author and copyright information from content used to train the artificial intelligence language model ChatGPT.

The court has dismissed all claims against Microsoft, significantly altering the landscape of the lawsuit. OpenAI, however, remains embroiled in the legal proceedings, facing a surviving claim. This decision marks an important turn of events in the ongoing legal battle which holds considerable implications for the tech and IP law sectors.
