The lawsuit, the first major legal challenge against OpenAI, alleged that Copilot was trained on code without proper attribution. A class action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in 2022 accused Copilot of using and creating code that potentially violated the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
The lawsuit against OpenAI was dismissed, but the legal battle continues against GitHub Inc. and its parent company, Microsoft Corp., which collaborated with OpenAI to create Copilot.
