Name dispute: Openaai announces the cooperation with Jony IVE from the network

Openai took the presentation of the billion dollar deal with the designer legend Jony IVE from the Internet as a result of a name. This emerges from an indication of the page where the deal was originally announced. There it says that a court has ordered the distance after a company called “Iyo” against the name “Io” of the IVE Ki startup. Iyo is also a company from the AI. Bloomberg had only reported last week that Io could therefore temporarily prohibit the use of the name. That has probably happened now, even if Openaai “does not agree” with the complaint.

At the end of May, Openai boss Sam Altman and the former Apple design chief Jony Ive announced a cooperation, which should primarily be about hardware for AI use. For this, Openai wants to take over the start-up for AI devices that IVE co-founded for almost $ 6.5 billion, which bears the name IO. The biggest takeover in the company history of Openai will give the company a separate department for the development of AI-controlled devices. It should develop AI devices that are once omnipresent and to bring AI use into daily life.

The company IYO responsible for the legal dispute also develops a device for the use of AI, These are headphonesthat should be controlled via natural language. The company was apparently able to convince the responsible judge in California that the risk of confusion through the names of the same is too great. A US journalist has insured OpenaiThe fact that the legal dispute has no effect on the takeover itself will continue to be promoted. You do not agree with the complaint of Iyo and check the options, Explains Openaai. According to the court’s decision, however, all the information in the name had to be taken offline.
