Grumpy Cat was trademarked?

Message:

Grumpy Cat trademark owner sent a cease and desist via NFT over unauthorized Grumpy Cat Coin. The memecoin emerged in May and was hyped by crypto investors as the next cool thing.

However, Grumpy Cat's owner owns trademarks associated with Grumpy Cat, and it seems she has become aware of the coin. On May 18, she minted an NFT and transferred it to the Grumpy Cat Coin deployer address. The NFT image is a copy of a cease and desist letter. Nice touch.

The site was also sued for using the grumpycat name in a site URL. Apparently there is a cyber squatting law that prevents that. The coin deployer--more jargon words added to lexicon--has since changed the site's name.

Be advised that spacegamer dot whatever is likewise protected by the same law. Score one for the good guys.


Yours,
