The company IYO won a temporary restraining order against OpenAI regarding a video and public announcement of the acquisition of Jony Ive’s company io.
Judge Trina Thompson granted the TRO on June 20. And soon after, OpenAI scrubbed the video of Ive and the announcement, both of which referred to “io,” Ive’s company.
