TL;DR

Matthew McConaughey’s lawyers have secured eight U.S. trademarks, including a sound mark of his iconic catchphrase and short video/audio clips, to protect his voice and likeness from unauthorized AI use and deter misuse—potentially giving him standing to sue in federal court. The move, part of broader IP protections alongside his collaboration with AI voice firm ElevenLabs and ongoing investments, aims to curb AI-generated content that could imitate the actor without permission.
