## Key points

- NVentures wants to avoid testifying in the Suno copyright case.
- It says it supplied 28,194 pages of documents.
- The labels’ separate lawsuit covers 60,202 recordings.

## Summary

NVIDIA’s venture arm, NVentures, has asked a US court to block Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment from requiring it to testify in their copyright case against AI music company Suno. NVentures says it was a passive minority investor and had no role in Suno’s use of recordings, making the testimony demands excessive.

The labels’ subpoena sought testimony on 13 topics, including NVentures’ due diligence, its knowledge of Suno’s training data and its communications about litigation risk. NVentures says it has already provided 6,324 documents totalling 28,194 pages, and asks the court to cancel the demand or narrow the questioning. The first lawsuit concerns 560 recordings, while a separate case covers 60,202 more; the labels’ claimed theoretical damages in the latter exceed $9 billion.
