Familiar Copyright Allegations Made Against NVIDIA
Summary
On March 8, 2024, plaintiffs filed a complaint in the Northern District of California against NVIDIA, accusing its NeMo Megatron LLMs of copyright infringement. The complaint is similar to the Kadrey and Silverman copyright cases covered in previous newsletters, filed by the same law firm with nearly identical pleadings regarding the books3 data set. One notable difference is that the complaint only includes direct copyright infringement, following the dismissal of other theories in the earlier cases. The case was assigned to Judge Jon S. Tigar.
