OpenAI has removed a promotional video featuring CEO Sam Altman and Apple designer Jony Ive after a court order stemming from a trademark infringement lawsuit by rival AI device maker iyO. The video highlighted OpenAI’s $6.5 billion acquisition of Ive and Altman’s startup, Io. Despite the removal, OpenAI maintains that both the acquisition and partnership remain valid. The company stated the decision was made due to the lawsuit related to the use of the name “Io,” and they do not agree with the complaint, opting to review their options. iyO, developed by Alphabet X’s “moonshot factory,” recently launched generative AI-powered earbuds and had previously filed the lawsuit claiming that OpenAI’s video could lead to consumer confusion. A judge hinted at the viability of iyO’s argument regarding potential confusion among consumers.
