Yuga Labs settles with Ryder Ripps, secures sweeping ban on RR/BAYC NFTs
Yuga Labs has settled its lawsuit against artists Ryder Ripps and Jeremy Cahen, ending a long-running legal dispute over their RR/BAYC NFT collection which used Bored Ape Yacht Club trademarks. The settlement includes a permanent injunction prohibiting the defendants from using any BAYC-related branding across NFTs, digital platforms, or physical products. They must transfer all remaining RR/BAYC NFTs, domain names, and assets to Yuga Labs, and cease all minting, sales, and promotion of the collection. The agreement effectively shuts down the RR/BAYC project and reinforces the enforcement of intellectual property rights in the NFT space, even for collections presented as satire or critique.
