Description

A US court has lifted an injunction that banned Perplexity's shopping browser Comet and its associated AI agent.

Summary

This legal development concerns a US court's decision to lift an injunction against Perplexity's 'Comet' shopping browser and AI agent, which Amazon had sought to block. The case highlights emerging conflicts between traditional e-commerce giants and new AI-driven search and agentic tools that scrape or interact with proprietary web ecosystems. While primarily a commercial and intellectual property dispute, it reflects broader trends in the deployment of autonomous AI agents and their integration into global consumer markets. The outcome suggests a shift in how legal frameworks interpret the boundaries of AI-assisted data access and commercial competition.
