Federal Judge Allows Lawsuit Against Anthropic Over Claude Subscription Marketing
A federal judge in California ruled that AI startup Anthropic must face a lawsuit alleging deceptive marketing of its Claude Max subscription plans. Plaintiffs claim Anthropic misled customers by advertising "5x or 20x more usage" benefits, which they argue apply per session but not over weekly caps. The judge allowed claims of deceptive advertising, negligent misrepresentation, and breach of contract to proceed, while dismissing others. Anthropic and its lawyers have not yet commented.
