OpenAI Trademark Infringement Defendants Withdraw Motion to Dismiss

Defendants Guy Ravine and Open Artificial Intelligence withdrew their Oct. 11 motion to dismiss plaintiff OpenAI’s claims for injunctive relief, said their notice Wednesday (docket 4:23-cv-03918) in U.S. District Court for Northern California in Oakland. On Oct. 13, the court directed the parties to confer on the briefing and hearing schedule for defendants’ motion to dismiss, set to be heard Dec. 12, and plaintiff’s motion for preliminary injunction. The parties agreed the defendants will answer the complaint by Monday; they also agreed defendants may file any counterclaims within 30 days after the court rules on OpenAI’s preliminary injunction motion, it said.
