BlockBeats News, July 24th, According to TheBlock, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has issued a mixed ruling in the long-running case between Bored Ape issuer Yuga Labs and artist Ryder Ripps. Ryder Ripps had previously intentionally sold a replica of the NFT as "expressive appropriation art."
The court ruled that NFTs are a "good" eligible for trademark protection and rejected many of Ripps' legal arguments but overturned the previous $8 million judgment against Ripps. The case has been remanded to a lower court for further proceedings, requiring the lower court to reconsider the issue of whether RR/BAYC caused consumer confusion. The case began in June 2022 when Yuga Labs accused Ripps of devaluing its brand by releasing the RR/BAYC NFT series. The court rejected Ripps' defenses regarding "expressive art" and First Amendment protection but found that further evidence is needed to demonstrate the potential for consumer confusion.
