In a Sunday filing scheduling a hearing for Monday, the judge wrote that he was “disappointed that counsel have left important questions to be answered in the future, including respecting the Works List, the Class List, the Claim Form, and, particularly for works with multiple claimants, the processes for notification (for opt-out, so-called re-inclusion, and claims, whether a given choice is exercised by one, some, or all coclaimants), allocation, and dispute resolution.”

Those elements will need to be agreed by a court working group and challenged by Anthropic well before a proposed deadline of Oct. 10 if the court is to grant preliminary approval on that date, the judge wrote.
