Every lawsuit against an AI company

A court-record tracker counts 248 lawsuits against 76 AI companies across 14 jurisdictions, with the Third Circuit affirming Judge Bibas's summary-judgment ruling for Thomson Reuters against ROSS Intelligence on September 29, 2026, holding Westlaw headnotes copyrightable and ROSS's use of them to train its AI tool infringing. In the same period, Judge Mehta dismissed Chegg's and Penske Media's antitrust suits against Google over AI Overviews on September 30, 2026, and Judge Corley denied ByteDance's motion to dismiss Ted Entertainment's First Amended Complaint on October 2, 2026. The tracker also lists the New York Times v. OpenAI & Microsoft case, where cross-motions for summary judgment were filed in MDL 25-md-03143 on September 4, 2026, and Bartz v. Anthropic, where Judge Martínez-Olguín approved the class payment distribution plan on September 15, 2026 with initial payments due by November 15, 2026.
