Anthropic says Bartz-class-opt out Shakespeare’s copyright claims are now barred by the 3-year statute of limitations. Must be dismissed.

Anthropic filed a motion to dismiss the copyright claims of the Bartz-class opt-outs in the Shakespeare v. Anthropic suit, arguing the claims are barred by the Copyright Act's 3-year statute of limitations. Anthropic asserted multiple grounds for dismissal in the motion. The filing follows the earlier Bartz class action over Anthropic's use of copyrighted works to train its AI models.
