House Introduces Its Companion Version of NO FAKES Act

The House has introduced its own version of the NO FAKES Act. Apparently, at least some in the House are shifting gears from the earlier No AI FRAUD Act given the broader support for the revised version of the Senate's NO FAKES Act.  This suggests some increased momentum to move forward with something along the lines of the proposed Senate bill. I made some recommendations earlier this week for how the NO FAKES Act can be improved if it does proceed.

Although this is not the only idea being floated in the House. Representative Darrel Issa has circulated a discussion draft of a different approach--Preventing Abuse of Digital Replicas Act (PADRA) -- which would take a more targeted and narrower approach by placing a digital replica claim within Section 43 of the Lanham Act. A version of this is likely to be introduced soon as well.
