LG München I · 42 O 14139/24
Summary
A German collecting society sued two operators of a language model and chatbot, both part of a US group, before the Regional Court Munich I. It alleges that nine song lyrics were memorised in the models and reproduced in chatbot outputs, infringing copyright and personality rights. It seeks injunctions, information, damages and publication of the judgment. The defendants dispute that the models store training data and rely on the text and data mining exception.
Latest development
— On Nov 11, 2025 the court issued a final judgment ordering the defendants to refrain from reproducing the lyrics in the models and in outputs, to provide information, and to pay pre-litigation legal costs. It confirmed damages liability, authorised publication of the ruling, dismissed the remainder, and split costs 20% to the claimant and 80% to the defendants.
Claims in complaints are allegations that have not been proven unless a court has ruled on them.
