On October 29, Magistrate Judge Ona Wang will hold a discovery conference to go over disputes between the parties. Let’s take a look at the discovery disputes between the book authors (aka “class” plaintiffs) and OpenAI and Microsoft.
Issues:
- Whether “OpenAI has been wrongfully withholding their file of copied LibGen books, the “LibGen Test File,” in discovery since 2024.”
- Whether “OpenAI has produced every document it was ordered to produce in the Court’s October 1, 2025 Order and offered to re-review additional documents.”
- Whether OpenAI has waived attorney-client privilege related to its removal of the Books1 and Books2 datasets.
- Whether the court should “compel Microsoft to produce or make available for inspection the Bing Index.”
