Yuga Labs, the company behind the popular Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFT collection, has been accused of trademarking the BAYC wolf skull logo without proper licenses. The image was originally released by a company specializing in drawing tutorials for children and beginners, and Yuga Labs allegedly had no license to use it. In response, Yuga Labs trademarked the unlicensed logo as its own. The intellectual property rights for the drawing belong to the original company, according to their terms and conditions. This is not the first time Yuga Labs has faced intellectual property issues, as one of the founders of the BAYC copycat NFT collection RR/BAYC filed an opposition notice against 10 trademark applications from Yuga Labs. The company has not yet responded to the accusations.
