"Cameo, the startup known for personalized celebrity videos, filed a lawsuit Tuesday against OpenAI, accusing the ChatGPT maker of trademark infringement over its new "Cameo" feature in the Sora video-generation app. In a complaint filed in the federal court of the Northern District of California on Tuesday, Cameo said OpenAI's use of the "Cameo" name, which describes a virtual likeness that users can create and share on Sora, is likely to confuse consumers and dilute its brand."
"In a statement to Business Insider, Cameo CEO Steven Galanis said the company had attempted to settle the dispute "amicably," but OpenAI refused to change the name. "To protect fans, talent, and the integrity of our marketplace, we felt that we unfortunately had no other option but to bring this lawsuit," Galanis added. Founded in 2017, Cameo lets users pay celebrities for short, personalized videos. OpenAI's Sora app, which launched in September, allows users to create AI-generated clips, including hyperrealistic videos featuring celebrities"
Cameo filed a trademark infringement lawsuit in the federal court of the Northern District of California against OpenAI over Sora's "Cameo" feature. Cameo alleges OpenAI's use of the "Cameo" name, which describes a virtual likeness users can create and share on Sora, is likely to confuse consumers and dilute Cameo's brand. The complaint states OpenAI chose the name in "blatant disregard for the obvious confusion it would create" and accuses OpenAI of trampling intellectual property rights in its rush to dominate markets. Cameo said it attempted to settle amicably but OpenAI refused to change the name and Cameo seeks a court order stopping OpenAI's use of "Cameo."
