Ninth Circuit Claws Back Yuga Labs' $8M Victory

第九巡回法院的爪子Yuga Labs的800万美元胜利

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爱好者！第九巡回上诉法院部分扭转了一项简易判决裁决，该裁决先前授予了Yuga Labs在其商标侵权下造成的800万美元，并针对Ryder Ripps，这是讽刺无聊的Ape Yacht Club Nfts背后的艺术家。似乎Yuga Labs并没有完全证明消费者的困惑，尤其是考虑到可能精明的NFT市场。

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!

法院同意可以将NFTS * *提供商标，但此案正回到加利福尼亚州进行审判，以适当地放弃商标侵权和网络质量要求。里普斯认为，他的NFT是“讽刺艺术的讽刺作品”，该声明随着法院的身份增长。这个传奇继续！

ICELAND's Trademark Troubles: A Geographical Gaff?

冰岛的商标麻烦：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!

同时，在池塘中，冰岛食品在其商标战中无法休息。欧盟总法院（EGC）确认取消了冰岛食品的冰岛商标。 Euipo和EGC认为商标太直接表明了商品和服务的地理起源。哎哟!

PTAB is Back in the Room!

PTAB回到了房间！

The Takeaway

外卖

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周围的合法景观仍然模糊，并且在公园里证明消费者混乱在公园里没有。商标法继续努力应对地理指标。而且，有时候，您只需要亲自出现就可以争论您的案子！

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

直到下一次，请保持好奇，保持咖啡因，并密切关注那些树皮和叮咬！
