Bartz v. Anthropic Copyright Case – The Claims Process for Textbook & Academic Authors is Unique. Review Our Guidance Before Filing Claims.
Educational/textbook and university press/academic authors represent almost half of the close to 500,000 works infringed in Bartz v. Anthropic. For more on that decision and TAA’s role, click here.
TAA will be rolling out more guidance for textbook and academic authors in the days and weeks to come. First up is a webinar on October 8, from 2-3 p.m. ET, “What Textbook & Academic Authors Need to Know About Filing Claims in Bartz v. Anthropic.” It is open to members and non-members, so spread the word.
The claims period runs from now until March 23, 2026. It is not a “first come first served” situation, so take the time to do it right and ensure your best chance of a good recovery. Learn more about how to get started.
