OpenAI is currently battling a copyright lawsuit in India, arguing that Indian courts lack jurisdiction due to its US-based operations. This legal challenge comes after similar defenses by Telegram failed in past cases. The case highlights the growing scrutiny of US tech firms’ compliance with local laws in foreign markets. Legal experts suggest the case could still be heard in Indian courts, despite OpenAI’s jurisdiction claim.
