In this dystopian landscape, things are becoming too meta. Blade Runner 2049Production company Alcon Entertainment sued Tesla and Elon Musk, who allegedly supplied stills to AI image generators from Warner Bros. photos to create promotional materials for the automaker. According to Hollywood ReporterAlcon’s trademark request prompted a reexamination of the distinctive similarities between the two, while being rejected. Blade Runner 2049 and Tesla’s advertising campaign to allow small cases of copyright infringement to continue against the company.
The image of the competition stands next to the still futuristic car of Officer K, Ryan Gosling, standing in the orange Washington state wasteland. The Alcon lawsuit alleges that it was still used to create “unauthorized promotional material,” including film distributor Warner Bros. Discovery, which violates the Alcon Entertainment trademark and “promotes partnerships.”
The judge ruled in favor of Warner Bros. and Tesla, who had partnered for the announcement of Robotaxi. At the event, Tesla boss Elon Musk debuted the image of a Cybercab, shown in a creepy, similar ad that looks like the scene in question. Blade Runner 2049. Tesla has denied the use of trademark materials. Alcon accused him of using an AI image generator to remove images from the scene 2049 Without using license permissions. According to THR, the basis for the ruling was that it was only addressing the “information and beliefs” of the copyright infringement case.
Technology may have won the battle, but the Archon revealed in the trial that Tesla refused to use it Blade Runner 2049 A few hours before the presentation of the question. The judge said, “Given Musk and Tesla were working together in light of their last minute demands and the resulting last minute denial, given the close time frame. BR2049it is absolutely hard to believe that the plaintiffs insist on using AI image generators to come up with finished products. ”
Therefore, most claims can move forward. With the exception of the Lanham Act first (aka the Trademark Act of 1946, which claimed that the Trademark Act of 1946 was violated through the prohibition of false associations), Musk only mentioned the film once during the event, but in no way implied the legitimacy of the Archon’s accusations.
