Judge William Alsup has denied Anthropic’s motion to pause the copyright case by authors, further progressing the proceedings in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of California.
The denial ensures the case’s momentum, potentially impacting Anthropic’s legal strategy and institutional assessments, particularly given its blockchain and AI ties.
Judge Alsup Rejects Anthropic’s Case Pause Plea
Judge William Alsup of the U.S. District Court denied Anthropic’s request to pause the copyright case against them. This decision allows the trial to proceed despite Anthropic’s appeal efforts.
The case involves Anthropic PBC, an AI model developer, and a certified class of book authors. Judge Alsup’s order indicates that the district court will continue proceedings without waiting for Anthropic’s appellate process.
Denial Pressures Anthropic, Backers Like Google
The denial of the stay has immediate implications for Anthropic, with the litigation risk persisting for their institutional backers, including Google and Amazon. This ruling does not impact crypto assets directly.
Financial outcomes could be influenced by institutional risk assessments concerning pending trial risks. However, as of now, no notable effects on BTC or ETH have been reported, indicating minimal market disruption.
Fair Use Ruling Influences Current Trial Trajectory
Comparisons are drawn to Judge Alsup’s earlier fair use ruling, which endorsed the legal training of AI models while leaving claims tied to pirated datasets intact. This case now escalates toward its trial phase. “The district court’s ruling on fair use for training is a notable endorsement, keeping the case on a fast track to trial.”
Experts from Kanalcoin indicate the denial may accelerate procedural actions, potentially impacting Anthropic’s strategies. The district court’s pace contrasts previous litigation experiences in similar contexts.
