Google Books case: hearing and timeline
On 3 May 2012, U.S. Judge Denny Chin heard oral argument in the Google Books case.
According to Professor James Grimmelmann (http://laboratorium.net/), two issues were discussed at the hearing:
1. Whether the Authors Guild and visual artists’ groups have “associational standing” to sue Google on their members’ behalf.
2. Whether to certify a class of authors so that the Authors Guild’s lawsuit can proceed as a class action.
It is expected that the parties will now go ahead with their summary judgment motions. Judge Chin said he would hear oral arguments in September.
The Public Index has a timeline of upcoming dates in the cases Authors Guild v. Google, ASMP v. Google and Authors Guild v. HathiTrust (http://thepublicindex.org/).
