About NLS Bangalore
The National Law School of India University (NLSIU) in Bengaluru is India’s first national law university. Established in 1986, it consistently ranks as the premier law school in the country, offering undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programs.
About LSPR
Law School Policy Review is an online law and policy platform run by students of the National Law School of India University, Bangalore. Founded in May 2018, LSPR was started with the objective of creating an open-access online platform to generate discourse on law and policy – of which there is a noticeable lack at the university level in India.

About the Blog Series
LSPR is hosting a Symposium on OpenAI v. ANI, examining the broader legal and policy questions raised by the ongoing proceedings before the Delhi High Court. The symposium considers what India’s copyright and information ecosystem should look like in the age of generative AI, without inviting submissions on the merits or outcome of the pending litigation.
About Call for Blogs
LSPR invites submissions examining specific policy questions arising from the intersection of copyright, generative AI, journalism, and information markets. Contributors should identify a policy problem, explain its significance, and advance a position on how courts, legislatures, regulators, or industry actors ought to respond.
Authors are not asked to predict the outcome of ANI v OpenAI, nor should pieces simply summarise the litigation. Instead, each contribution should identify a broader problem raised by the case, explain why that problem is relevant, and advance a position on how courts, policymakers, industry actors, or other institutions should respond. The emphasis, therefore, should be on policy analysis rather than case commentary.
One contribution from the open call may be selected as the Featured Piece of the Symposium. The Featured Piece will remain prominently displayed on our website for two weeks after publication and may also receive additional promotion through our social media channels. Selection will be based on originality, analytical rigour, policy relevance, and clarity.
Eligibility
Law students, lawyers, academics, researchers, and others interested in the subject are eligible to submit.
Theme
India’s IPR and Information Ecosystem in the Age of Generative AI
Possible areas include copyright and AI training, text and data mining, Section 52 of the Copyright Act, licensing frameworks, bargaining asymmetries between publishers and AI developers, and the impact of source substitution on news production. However, any submissions that fall within the overall theme of the Symposium will be accepted.
Submission Categories
Submissions may take the form of short-form analytical blog posts addressing a specific legal or policy question within the symposium’s theme.
Formatting Guidelines
Contributions should be short and policy-focused. A suggested length of 1,500–2,500 words will allow authors to develop a substantive argument while keeping the pieces accessible.
