"A federal judge has temporarily blocked OpenAI from using the term "cameo" in the Sora video app. US District Judge Eumi K. Lee's ruling lasts until December 22. Cameo, the personalized video company, sued OpenAI for trademark infringement. OpenAI may have to go back to the drawing board to name a core feature of its popular AI video generation app, Sora."
"Lee wrote in her ruling that OpenAI is likely infringing on the trademark held by Cameo, known for allowing users to pay for personalized videos, often recorded by celebrities. "Defendants' only argument to the contrary is that the requested injunction would 'harm OpenAI's ability to successfully launch its Sora app and other Sora 2 functionality,'" Lee wrote in a ruling issued on Friday. 'However, Defendants' harm arises from its own likely infringing use of a federally registered mark.'"
A federal judge temporarily barred OpenAI from using the term "cameo" in connection with its Sora app through December 22. Cameo, a personalized video company, filed a federal trademark suit alleging that OpenAI's use of "cameos" for a feature that creates likenesses likely infringes its registered mark. The judge found OpenAI likely infringed and rejected OpenAI's argument that an injunction would unfairly harm its Sora launch, noting the harm arose from likely infringing use. Cameo's CEO urged quick compliance, citing seasonal demand, while OpenAI said it will continue to contest the case in court.
