Yuga Labs reached a settlement with Ryder Ripps that bars Ripps and his partners from continuing to use Yuga Labs-related images and trademarks in the BAYC dispute. The specific terms were not fully disclosed. The case began in 2022 after Ripps launched the RR/BAYC copycat NFT series and described it as "expressive appropriation art." In 2023, a US court ruled the project infringed Yuga Labs' trademark and initially awarded about $9 million in damages before an appeal court partially overturned the ruling and ordered a retrial.
