“Perplexity AI’s actions show a complete disregard for intellectual property rights, and its continued infringement is just the latest example of its pattern of unfairly capitalizing on others’ work,” the complaint states.
Perplexity Solved Solutions is now asking the court to block Perplexity AI from using the “Perplexity” name, seeking legal protection against further harm to its brand.
The Rising Tide of AI Trademark Disputes
Perplexity AI’s lawsuit is part of a growing trend in the tech world, with several artificial intelligence companies facing trademark challenges. In a similar case, OpenAI took legal action against Guy Ravine, accusing his company, Open Artificial Intelligence, of using the “Open AI” mark despite OpenAI being the senior user of the disputed name. This case, which reached the Ninth Circuit, underscores the contentious nature of intellectual property battles in the fast-growing AI sector.
Representatives for Perplexity AI and Perplexity Solved Solutions have not responded to requests for comment on the latest lawsuit.
