Cambronne v. Anthropic opt-out trial set for 2028
Authors and publishers who declined the Bartz v. Anthropic book-piracy settlement will get their own trial — but not until 2028. Judge Pitts set the scheduling order for their case, Cambronne v. Anthropic, per Chat GPT Is Eating the World: non-expert summary judgment motions are due May 13, 2027, with expert summary judgment motions following on a separate date.
Why it matters: It shows the settlement track and the opt-out track now running on very different timelines — Bartz-class members are being paid this fall, while those who rejected the deal wait past 2027 just for summary judgment briefing.
