US EditionMatthew McConaughey Trademarks ‘Alright, Alright, Alright’ Catchphrase to Protect Against AI
- Recently, Matthew McConaughey, actor, 56, secured eight trademarks approved by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, including his catchphrase `alright, alright, alright` to fight AI deepfakes.
- Applications sent to the USPTO by Yorn Levine, entertainment law firm, included eight trademark filings that the USPTO approved recently.
- The registrations describe audio and video marks including a vocal pitch pattern and approvals for a three-second Christmas-tree clip and seven-second porch clip.
- Legally, the registrations provide a path to federal court, giving McConaughey grounds to sue over online misuse even without commercial sales, as Jonathan Pollack, entertainment attorney, told Variety it's `a tool now to stop someone`.
- McConaughey previously partnered with ElevenLabs, AI audio company, and major outlets like the Wall Street Journal and Variety reported celebrities seeking limits on AI misuse recently.
