The Tesla ‘Blade Runner 2049’ AI Lawsuit Just Hit an Interesting Snag

The lawsuit surrounding the alleged use of imagery from the film "Blade Runner 2049" at a 2024 Tesla event has hit a snag. The lawsuit, which also involves Warner Bros., has seen some of the claims dismissed, but the overall case is still ongoing. The lawsuit was initially filed by Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red, who claimed that Tesla had used imagery from the "Blade Runner 2049" film, which they had licensed, without permission. The dismissed claims were related to the use of the "Blade Runner 2049" trademark, but the lawsuit still stands regarding the alleged use of the film's imagery. The case has drawn attention due to the high-profile parties involved and the complex issues surrounding the use of intellectual property in corporate settings. While the dismissal of some claims suggests a potential path forward, the ultimate resolution of the lawsuit remains uncertain as the legal proceedings continue.
