Ninth Circuit Claws Back Yuga Labs' $8M Victory

第九巡迴法院的爪子Yuga Labs的800萬美元勝利

Hold onto your hats, NFT enthusiasts! The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has partially reversed a summary judgment ruling that previously awarded Yuga Labs a cool $8 million in their trademark infringement and cybersquatting case against Ryder Ripps, the artist behind satirical Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs. Seems like Yuga Labs didn't quite prove consumer confusion beyond a reasonable doubt, especially considering the presumably savvy NFT market.

握住帽子，NFT愛好者！第九巡迴上訴法院部分扭轉了一項簡易判決裁決，該裁決先前授予了Yuga Labs在其商標侵權下造成的800萬美元，並針對Ryder Ripps，這是諷刺無聊的Ape Yacht Club Nfts背後的藝術家。似乎Yuga Labs並沒有完全證明消費者的困惑，尤其是考慮到可能精明的NFT市場。

The court agreed that NFTs *can* be trademarked, but the case is heading back to California for a trial to properly hash out the trademark infringement and cybersquatting claims. Ripps argues his NFTs are “satirical works of appropriation art,” a statement that carries weight with the court. This saga continues!

法院同意可以將NFTS * *提供商標，但此案正回到加利福尼亞州進行審判，以適當地放棄商標侵權和網絡質量要求。里普斯認為，他的NFT是“諷刺藝術的諷刺作品”，該聲明隨著法院的身份增長。這個傳奇繼續！

ICELAND's Trademark Troubles: A Geographical Gaff?

冰島的商標麻煩：地理gaff？

Meanwhile, across the pond, Iceland Foods just can't catch a break in its trademark battle. The General Court of the European Union (EGC) affirmed the cancellation of Iceland Foods’ ICELAND trademark. The EUIPO and EGC believe that the trademark too directly indicates the geographical origin of goods and services. Ouch!

同時，在池塘中，冰島食品在其商標戰中無法休息。歐盟總法院（EGC）確認取消了冰島食品的冰島商標。 Euipo和EGC認為商標太直接表明了商品和服務的地理起源。哎喲!

PTAB is Back in the Room!

PTAB回到了房間！

Miss the thrill of in-person hearings? The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office announced that all PTAB hearings will be back to in-person formats starting September 1st! Get ready to dust off those courtroom outfits.

The Takeaway

外賣

The legal landscape surrounding NFTs remains murky, and proving consumer confusion in the digital realm is no walk in the park. Trademark law continues to grapple with geographical indicators. And, sometimes, you just gotta show up in person to argue your case!

NFT周圍的合法景觀仍然模糊，並且在公園裡證明消費者混亂在公園裡沒有。商標法繼續努力應對地理指標。而且，有時候，您只需要親自出現就可以爭論您的案子！

Until next time, stay curious, stay caffeinated, and keep an eye on those barks and bites!

直到下一次，請保持好奇，保持咖啡因，並密切關注那些樹皮和叮咬！
