Litigation

All cases
  1. Advance Local Media v. CohereUS District Court for the Southern District of New York · 2026
    Pending
    Lessons learned
    • A court let claims proceed that a model's retrieval-augmented outputs, not only its training, can reproduce or closely paraphrase protected articles.
    • Marketing a model for a use, such as summarising the latest news, was treated at the pleading stage as possible evidence of inducement.
    • Investigator-obtained outputs were accepted at the pleading stage as evidence of typical third-party use, despite a terms-of-service objection.
