Show Notes

When Matthew McConaughey takes action to protect his unmistakable voice from AI deepfakes, it signals a much bigger issue: in the age of artificial intelligence, who actually owns your identity? In this eye-opening Intellectual Property News segment on Passage to Profit Show, we explore how celebrities—and everyday entrepreneurs—are fighting back against voice cloning, digital impersonation, and brand hijacking using trademark, privacy, and unfair competition law. As AI technology races ahead of the legal system, we break down what can (and can’t) be protected, why customer confusion is at the heart of trademark law, and what this means for Hollywood, Main Street, and anyone building a personal brand.

Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur, a startup, an inventor, an innovator, a small business or just starting your entrepreneurial journey, tune into Passage to Profit Show for compelling discussions, real-life examples, and expert advice on entrepreneurship, intellectual property, trademarks and more.
