March 10 (Reuters) – Microsoft filed on Tuesday a proposed brief in support of Anthropic’s lawsuit asking the court to temporarily block the U.S. Department of Defense’s designation of the AI startup as a supply-chain risk.
Microsoft added that it was directly impacted by the DOD’s designation.
The Claude maker had filed a lawsuit to block the Pentagon from placing it on a national security blacklist on Monday, escalating a high-stakes battle with the U.S. military over usage restrictions on its technology.
Microsoft’s filing argued the TRO is needed to prevent costly disruptions for suppliers, who would otherwise have to rapidly rebuild offerings that rely on Anthropic’s products.
