ANI Media Private Limited sued OpenAI, Inc. before the Delhi High Court, alleging that ChatGPT unlawfully used ANI’s copyrighted news content. ANI also applied to temporarily restrain OpenAI but the Court dismissed that application in July 2026 finding no infringement at first sight, and noting that ANI had not shown lost subscribers or revenue. This, coupled with ANI’s ability to block OpenAI’s crawlers, rendered a restraint unnecessary.​
​
The litigation witnessed events typical to intellectual property and technology disputes, such as voluntary partial cessation (OpenAI ‘blocklisted,’ ANI in October 2024), incorrect joinder (ANI initially arrayed OpenAI OpCo LLC), and exemption from mandatory pre-institution mediation.
