Class Members in Anthropic Settlement Can Request Report on Their Claim

By Kim Pawlak

While ​class members await United States District Judge Araceli Martinez-Olguin’s approval of the final settlement in the landmark $1.5 billion copyright infringement class action Bartz v. Anthropic, class attorney Rohit Nath​, a partner at Susman Godfrey, said class members can reach out to the claims administrator for a report on their claim. That report, he said, includes “any other parties that have filed claims on their work and the requested percentages.”

Nath said that other than ​r​equesting that report, there is nothing for class members to do ​c​urrently, “unless they get direct communication from JND [the claims administrator] about their claim form (e.g., asking about missing info, identity verification, etc.).”

​To receive a report on your claim, reach out to claims administrator JND at (877) 206-2314 or info@AnthropicCopyrightSettlement.com.
