Yuga Labs’ $9M Bored Ape Victory Against Ryder Ripps Crumbles—Court Demands Stronger Trademark Proof
Yuga Labs’ $9M Bored Ape Victory Against Ryder Ripps Crumbles—Court Demands Stronger Trademark Proof

Yuga Labs just got a reality check from the legal system. Their $9 million trademark win against artist Ryder Ripps? Overturned. Turns out, owning the NFT space isn't as simple as minting a JPEG and calling it law.
The ruling: Prove it or lose it
The court didn't just reverse the decision—it handed Yuga Labs a homework assignment. Show actual consumer confusion, not just vibes. Because apparently, even in Web3, 'trust me bro' isn't legal precedent.
Apes together... less strong?
This sends shockwaves through NFT land. If Yuga can't firmly protect the Bored Ape brand, what does that mean for the rest of their overpriced monkey business? Probably nothing—VCs will still throw money at pixelated animals while pretending it's disruptive finance.
