There are 4 lawsuits filed by news media (Dow Jones, New York Times, and Chicago Tribune) and Encyclopaedia Britannica against Perplexity AI, all in the Southern District of New York. But, after two attempts for related case status, Judge Polk Failla denied the asserted combination (Dow Jones/Encyclopaedia Britannica and Dow Jones/Chicago Tribune/New York Times was related.
Now, the law firm representing both New York Times and Chicago Tribune are asking Judge Preska and Judge Broderick to deem at least these two cases related and transferred before the same judge.
Seems like a reasonable request.
Perplexity supports related case status.
