Yuga Labs wins lawsuit against Thomas Lehman

Last month, Yuga Labs Studio filed a lawsuit against blockchain programmer Lehman (Thomas Lehman). They accused him of working on the RR/BAYC project. This is a collection of 10,000 NFTs that have similar names and styles to the original "monkeys".

The specialist allegedly helped create a smart contract for this collection. The RR/ BAYC project ended up earning $1.6m on sales of the collection, with Lehman getting 15%.

At trial, the parties reached an amicable agreement. Lehman ceded ownership of the BAYC trademark to Yuga Labs and acknowledged that he had infringed the copyright by his participation in RR/BAYC.
