OpenAI Blocked From Using 'Cameo' Name Amid Trademark Lawsuit
A judge ruled OpenAI's use of ’Cameo’ likely confuses consumers and damages the celebrity video brand, granting a preliminary injunction against the AI company.
- On Saturday, a federal district court in Northern California ordered OpenAI to stop using the name Cameo, the celebrity video platform, and OpenAI renamed the feature Characters.
- Last year, Cameo sued OpenAI alleging trademark infringement and argued OpenAI's use would confuse consumers and copied its celebrity-driven marketing for Sora.
- Within Sora, users could opt in to allow their likenesses in AI-generated content, and OpenAI had used the Cameo name for that feature, according to the court.
- The dispute underscores how AI reshapes celebrity videos, with backlash over AI-generated content affecting creators and celebrities; OverDrive and the November temporary restraining order reflect wider media and creative industries friction.
- Amid ongoing litigation, OpenAI said it disagrees that anyone can claim exclusive ownership of the word cameo and looks forward to making its case amid multiple disputes with artists and media groups in recent months.
