A federal appeals court on Friday declined to block the Department of Defense from blacklisting Anthropic.
The ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit came in a lawsuit by Anthropic challenging its designation as a supply chain risk.

“We respectfully disagree with the court’s decision. Another federal court has already held the government’s parallel designation unlawful. We remain confident in our position and are considering all options, including further review,” an Anthropic spokesperson said in a statement Friday.
ABC News has reached out to the Department of Defense for comment.
