“By this action, Chegg seeks to hold Google responsible for the millions of dollars of harm it is causing and illicit profits it is reaping by misappropriating Chegg’s unique and valuable works and protect the public’s continued access to high quality and trustworthy online information,” counsel for Chegg alleged in a complaint seeking damages and injunctive relief from the tech giant.
An online publisher represented by Susman Godfrey has filed a lawsuit alleging Google uses third-party content without permission to train artificial intelligence models and display generative AI search overviews in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act.
“The law does not permit Google’s systematic anti-competitive conduct,” counsel for plaintiff Chegg Inc. alleged in the complaint filed Monday in D.C. federal court. “By this action, Chegg seeks to hold Google responsible for the millions of dollars of harm it is causing and illicit profits it is reaping by misappropriating Chegg’s unique and valuable works and protect the public’s continued access to high quality and trustworthy online information.”
