· Aster editorial team
AI-generated imageFlinn Artificial Intelligence Technologies sued Anthropic in Delaware federal court, alleging infringement of five patents related to neural networks. The plaintiff says Claude models use capabilities covered by patents filed in 2015 and 2016, and it requested an unspecified amount of damages. Reuters reported that Anthropic did not immediately respond to a request for comment; the allegations have not been resolved in court.
Why it matters
The case moves part of the AI intellectual-property dispute away from training material and toward patents that describe system functions and methods.
For the technical crowd
The case is Flinn Artificial Intelligence Technologies LLC v. Anthropic PBC, No. 1:26-cv-01454, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware.
