U.S. court bars OpenAI from using ‘Cameo’

A federal court ruled that OpenAI must stop using the name 'Cameo' for its AI video generation feature in Sora 2 (a tool that creates videos with digital likenesses of users), finding the name too similar to Cameo's existing celebrity video platform and likely to confuse users. OpenAI had already renamed the feature to 'Characters' after a temporary restraining order in November, and the company disputes the ruling, arguing no one can claim exclusive ownership of the word 'cameo.'
