"In a ruling filed Saturday, the court said the name was similar enough to cause user confusion, and rejected OpenAI's argument that "Cameo" was merely descriptive, finding that "it suggests rather than describes the feature.""
""This ruling is a critical victory not just for our company, but for the integrity of our marketplace and the thousands of creators who trust the Cameo name. We will continue to vigorously defend our intellectual property against any platform that attempts to trade on the goodwill and recognition we have worked so hard to establish," he noted."
""We disagree with the complaint's assertion that anyone can claim exclusive ownership over the word 'cameo,' and we look forward to continuing to make our case,""
A Northern California federal court ruled in favor of Cameo and ordered OpenAI to stop using the name "Cameo" in its products and features. OpenAI had used the name for its Sora 2 AI video generation feature that allowed users to insert digital likenesses of themselves. The court found the name similar enough to cause user confusion and rejected OpenAI's claim that "Cameo" was merely descriptive, saying it "suggests rather than describes the feature." A prior temporary restraining order had already prompted OpenAI to rename the feature to "Characters." Cameo's CEO emphasized defending the brand; OpenAI said it will continue to contest the claim. OpenAI has faced other recent intellectual property disputes.
