When high-profile litigation ends on a procedural issue, the legal lessons can be just as significant as the underlying dispute.

In 𝘔𝘶𝘴𝘬 𝘷. 𝘈𝘭𝘵𝘮𝘢𝘯, the court never reached the merits of Elon Musk's claims against OpenAI. Instead, the case turned on a threshold issue: whether the claims were filed within the applicable statute of limitations. The decision serves as a reminder that procedural rules can be outcome determinative, even in the most closely watched cases.

Vince Eisinger and summer clerk Jaleel Gilmore discuss the court's reasoning and the broader implications for high stakes AI litigation.

When does a business dispute belong in the North Carolina Business Court?

The path to the Business Court depends on whether a case involves qualifying issues, the timing of designation, and whether the dispute is truly centered on a matter within the Court’s jurisdiction.

Maxwell Shafer provides guidelines for Business Court designations, including which cases may qualify, when designation is required, and key considerations for businesses navigating complex disputes.
