NEW YORK - A judge has set a Nov. 9 deadline for submitting a revised agreement in the battle over Google Inc.'s effort to get digital rights to millions of out-of-print books.

Lawyers for U.S. authors and publishers say they expect to have a new deal in place by then.

A hearing was held Wednesday in Manhattan federal court. Hon. Denny Chin called it to set a schedule and define how the case will proceed.

A $125 million agreement is being renegotiated. The parties agreed to return to the drawing board after the U.S. government said it seemed the agreement would violate antitrust laws.

Justice Department officials are now part of the new negotiations.
