Cameo Wins Temporary Restraining Order Against OpenAI in Trademark Dispute
A federal judge blocked OpenAI from using the 'Cameo' name in its Sora app amid trademark suit; 30% of Cameo videos occur during holiday season, CEO said.
- On Monday, U.S. District Judge Eumi K. Lee granted a temporary restraining order blocking OpenAI from using 'cameo' or similar names in the Sora app through Dec. 22, with a hearing set for December 19.
- On October 28, Cameo sued OpenAI after Sora launched a 'Cameo' feature, with Steven Galanis saying, `We are gratified by the court's decision, which recognizes the need to protect consumers from the confusion that OpenAI has created by using the Cameo trademark.`
- Sora's 'Cameo' feature lets users upload likenesses others use to generate videos, while Cameo says overlapping uses involving Mark Cuban and Jake Paul cause confusion.
- OpenAI said it disagrees with exclusive ownership claims and will continue arguing in court, but the Sora app still displayed 'cameo' as of Monday, risking noncompliance.
- Other firms have sued OpenAI, including OverDrive and Baron App, over Sora app's icon and name, while industry observers say the case tests if a common word can be monopolized.
