Hermès Wins NFT Trademark Lawsuit
The Alpha: It’s a big day for legal precedent in Web3, as the lawsuit between luxury brand Hermès International SA, and Mason Rothschild, the artist behind the controversial MetaBirkin NFT project, has been settled.

Yet, perhaps the best evidence of this turning of the tide is the recent resolution of Hermès v. Rothschild trademark lawsuit. Last year, Hermès International sued artist Mason Rothschild for trademark infringement following the release of MetaBirkins — a collection of 100 NFT Birkin bags covered in faux fur in a range of colors and designs. On February 8, 2023, Hermès won the lawsuit. A jury found that Rothschild’s […]
