Aviator releases origin story behind trademark name

The rights to the Aviator trademark were not transferred when Adjarabet was later purchased by Flutter Entertainment in 2019. In spite of this, up until January 2024, Adjarabet and Spribe used the Aviator logo on the platform in Georgia and Armenia.

Spribe, which worked with the game's developers to create it, also slightly altered the logo before utilizing it globally.

All of the intellectual property associated with the Aviator trademark was given to Aviator in 2022 by City Loft. Then, Aviator filed a lawsuit to declare Spribe's use of the altered logo, which was registered in both Georgia and the EU, unlawful.

The story behind the Aviator trademark and its subsequent ownership is indeed quite intriguing. It appears that there were several legal intricacies surrounding the rights to the Aviator trademark, particularly after Adjarabet was acquired by Flutter Entertainment and the transfer of intellectual property rights was not completed.

It's interesting to note that despite this, Adjarabet and Spribe continued to use the Aviator logo in Georgia and Armenia until January 2024, which raises questions about the enforcement of trademark rights in different jurisdictions.

The fact that Spribe collaborated with the game's developers to create Aviator and later slightly altered the logo for global use adds another layer to the situation. It seems that the ownership and usage of the trademark were not clearly defined, leading to potential legal disputes down the line.

The decision by City Loft to transfer all intellectual property associated with the Aviator trademark to Aviator in 2022 was likely a significant development in the ongoing saga. This transfer likely gave Aviator the legal grounds to take action against Spribe for the unauthorized use of the altered logo, especially since it was registered in both Georgia and the EU.

The lawsuit filed by Aviator to declare Spribe's use of the altered logo unlawful signifies a crucial step in protecting their intellectual property rights. It will be interesting to see how this legal battle unfolds and what implications it may have for trademark ownership and enforcement in the gaming industry.
