Delhi High Court refuses interim injunction in ANI v. OpenAI
Justice Amit Bansal of the Delhi High Court refused Asian News International's application for interim relief in its copyright suit against OpenAI, finding that ANI had not established a prima facie case for an injunction.[1] The court found at the interim stage that OpenAI's storage of ANI reports for model training fell within Section 52(1)(a) of India's Copyright Act and that the cited ChatGPT outputs were not substantially similar to ANI's reports.[1] It also found that ANI had not shown memorization or regurgitation of its works in ChatGPT responses.[1] Reuters reported that the court said OpenAI's use of ANI content to train ChatGPT did not amount to copyright infringement because ANI had not shown that the chatbot reproduced its reports.[2] The order resolves only the interim-injunction application, and the main suit continues.[1]
