The celebrity video customization platform Cameo has achieved a significant victory in its legal dispute with OpenAI. A U.S. federal judge recently approved Cameo's temporary injunction against OpenAI, prohibiting the use of the word "cameo" in any feature of OpenAI's new app Sora, with the restriction lasting until December 22.

Cameo is an application that provides services for purchasing short videos of celebrities, while Sora is an AI video generation application that allows users to upload their likenesses to generate videos. Cameo believes that the use of the trademark "cameo" by OpenAI may cause consumer confusion and affect their brand image. Steven Galanis, CEO of Cameo, stated that they are satisfied with the court's ruling and hope that OpenAI will permanently stop using the trademark to protect the interests of consumers and the brand.

This temporary injunction not only applies to the word "cameo" but also includes similar terms such as "Kameo" and "CameoVideo." Cameo filed a lawsuit against OpenAI in October this year, claiming that the use of "cameo" in the Sora app may dilute the brand value of Cameo. Galanis also mentioned that Cameo had attempted to resolve the dispute in a friendly manner, but OpenAI rejected their request. The court has scheduled a hearing on December 19 to decide whether this temporary order should be made permanent.

Key Points:

🌟 Cameo successfully obtained a court injunction, and OpenAI cannot use the "cameo" trademark in Sora.

⚖️ The temporary injunction covers related words, and a hearing will be held on December 19 to determine if it should become permanent.

💬 Cameo tried to resolve the dispute amicably, but OpenAI did not respond. The case has attracted widespread attention.
