Anthropic sued for trademark infringement over its 'Mythos' AI model

Mythos, an Alexandria, Virginia software company that runs a platform for nonprofits, sued Anthropic in federal court in Virginia on Friday, alleging the name of Anthropic's Mythos AI model infringes its trademark and will cause market confusion and 'serious and irreparable harm.' The company seeks unspecified damages and an order barring Anthropic from using the name. In October the US Patent and Trademark Office initially refused Anthropic's 'Claude Mythos' trademark applications, citing likely confusion with existing Mythos marks.
