By way of an ongoing proceeding before the Hon’ble Delhi High Court, ANI Media recently filed a copyright infringement claim against OpenAI, seeking to restrain OpenAI from using copyrighted materials to train its AI models. The primary issues to be decided by the Delhi HC are: (1) Whether the storage of ANI’s data for training Open AI’s ChatGPT system amounts to infringement?; (2) Whether the use of data to generate responses for users of ChatGPT amount to infringement?; (3) Whether Open AI’s use of ANI copyrighted materials qualifies as ‘Fair Use’ under Section 52 of the Indian Copyright Act, 1957 ?; (4) Whether Indian Courts have jurisdiction for the present lawsuit?

The matter is next listed for further submissions on January 23, 2026.
