The Carreyrou v. Anthropic suit filed by book authors who opted out of the class settlement in Bartz v. Anthropic is beginning to crawl forward.
Perplexity AI, one of the defendants, is represented by attorneys from Mayer Brown:
- Matthew David Ingber, who successfully represented defendant Spotify in a copyright lawsuit filed by music publishers Eight Mile Style and Martin affiliated
- Archis Ashok Parasharami, co-leader of the DC Office litigation practice, class action and complex litigation specialist
- Daniel Edward Jones, DC partner in litigation
- Allison Aviki, NYC office managing partner and IP litigator
This is the first AI copyright lawsuit in which Mayer Brown has appeared.
One thing is for sure: all the AI defendants in this omnibus copyright lawsuit will be well-defended by top law firms.
