Hearing device startup iyO accuses OpenAI and LoveFrom of pretending to be interested in an acquisition and investment in order to launch their own startup with a similar name and goal.

A budding partnership between OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and legendary iPhone designer Jony Ive to develop a new artificial intelligence hardware product has hit a legal snag after a federal judge ruled they must temporarily stop marketing the new venture.

This page is temporarily down due to a court order following a trademark complaint from iyO about our use of the name ‘io’. We don’t agree with the complaint and are reviewing our options,” said an OpenAI spokesperson.
