In re Salesforce LLM Copyright Infringement Litigation is consolidated authors’ litigation alleging that Salesforce copied books without authorization to train its large language models.[1]

Claims and procedural history

The Tanzer and Alexander actions were consolidated in December 2025. A January 20, 2026 amended consolidated complaint brings together their allegations and names five representative plaintiffs.[2][1]

The February 9 pretrial order requires filings on the Tanzer master docket under the consolidated caption and administrative closure of the Alexander docket. Consolidation is a case-management step, not a determination of infringement.[2]
