NFTs qualify for trademark protection, Ninth Circuit rules, sending Yuga Labs case back for trial
-
最新报道：The U.S. Ninth Circuit Court ruled that NFTs qualify as "goods" under trademark law in Yuga Labs' case against artist Ryder Ripps, who created near-identical Bored Ape NFTs as "expressive appropriation art." While affirming Yuga's trademark protections, the court vacated a $9M penalty against Ripps and sent the case back to determine consumer confusion. Ripps called the decision a victory for First Amendment rights, though the court rejected his fair use defense. He may appeal further, alleging Yuga targeted him selectively among numerous BAYC derivatives. The ruling sets a precedent for NFT trademark enforcement while leaving key questions unresolved.
