One of the world’s biggest design software companies has sued Google over this AI tool
Autodesk, one of the biggest computer-aided design (CAD) software making companies in the world, has filed a federal lawsuit against Google over a tool that allows users to make AI-generated videos. The complaint alleged that Google infringed upon Autodesk’s “Flow” trademark to market a competing suite of AI-enabled tools designed to make videos for films, television and video game industries.
According to news agency Reuters, the lawsuit was filed on Friday in San Francisco federal court. Autodesk claims it began using the “Flow” brand in September 2022 to categorise its cloud-based visual effects and production management tools.
