UMG Recordings v. Suno was once next in line for summary judgment motions on fair use in AI training.
But, after a series of extensions, the last one granted yesterday, the case has dropped behind several others for the next opportunity for a ruling on fair use, as shown below:
- July 15, 2026 – Concord Music v. Anthropic hearing on SJ (Judge Lee) (ECF No. 587)**1st CASE UP
- July 8, 2026 – In re Google Gen AI Litigation last day to file SJ motion (Judge Lee); last day to hear SJ motions Sept. 11, 2026, at 1:30 PM (ECF No. 199) [Pending Plaintiffs’ motion to extend the scheduling order proposes to push the hearing to “March 10, 2027 at 10:00 a.m., or 90 days following issuance of an order on class certification, whichever is sooner” See ECF No. 403. But Judge Lee ruled: “On February 20, 2026, the Court will hear argument on Plaintiffs’ motion for class certification and other related motions. Because the outcome of these motions will impact further proceedings in this case, the unexpired deadlines set forth in the amended case schedule, ECF No. 199, are STAYED pending further order of the Court. To conserve judicial and party resources, discovery is also STAYED. In light of this Order, Plaintiffs’ motion for leave to file a motion to amend the case schedule, ECF No. 402, is terminated. The Court will address the schedule for further proceedings after resolving the pending motions.]***Under current schedule, 2d up but may drop
