Curaçao’s Court of First Instance has invalidated two of Aviator LLC’s local trademark registrations, handing a win to Spribe in the legal battle that has been going on in multiple jurisdictions.
A court ruling made on May 25, 2026, indicates that Aviator LLC’s local trademarks were cancelled, making Spribe the only company with the right to use the Aviator name in the jurisdiction. Initially, Spribe was behind the creation of the Aviator crash game.
According to the decision, the Georgia-based firm’s international registration IR 1822051 was removed. Both the figurative Aviator mark and the AVIATOR word mark were first filed in 2024 under Aviator LLC’s name. Additionally, despite being summoned by the judge, the company didn’t appear during the court proceedings, granting a default win to Spribe. Aviator LLC has since been ordered to also pay $1.200 in legal costs.
During the hearing, Spribe argued that it holds an earlier Curaçao Aviator mark that the company received in August 2023, further revealing that the original registrations filed by Rational Intellectual Holdings Limited were transferred to Aviator LLC in March 2025 without Spribe’s consent.
Initially, the proceedings began in August 2024 in Georgia, where the court found that Spribe’s local trademarks infringed Aviator LLC’s copyright. After this, the case expanded to the UK, where the court granted Spribe an interim injunction in July 2025.
