( November 18, 2025, 19:52 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: While plaintiffs in class-action copyright litigation brought by authors against Anthropic maintained in a court filing that class member "claim Forms may be submitted to the Settlement Administrator any time after Preliminary Approval,” US District Judge William Alsup did not accept that claim.
