Meloni files to trademark her voice
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Monday 5 October filed an application with the European Intellectual Property Office. If the application is accepted, anyone using a cloned voice without authorisation could be required to remove the material, pay damages and answer for trademark infringement. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Monday 5 October filed an application with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) to register her voice as a sound trademark, aiming to add a legal tool to those already available against AI-generated fakes. The request, dated 5 October on the EUIPO website, is still “under examination” and has therefore not been approved.
