Calcutta High Court Finds Prima Facie Case by IndiaMART Against OpenAI Over ChatGPT Search Exclusion

The Calcutta High Court observed that IndiaMART has made out a strong prima facie case against OpenAI for allegedly excluding its listings from ChatGPT search results, while allowing competing platforms to appear.

Justice Ravi Krishan Kapur noted that such selective exclusion may cause loss of goodwill, reputation, and commercial injury.

However, the Court declined to grant interim relief at this stage, holding that doing so would amount to granting final relief without hearing OpenAI.

The matter has been listed for January 13, after completion of fresh service on the respondents.
