São Paulo Court Dismisses SPRIBE’s Pause Request Against Aviator Studio Brazil

(AsiaGameHub) –   According to Aviator Studio Brazil, the company has successfully secured two back-to-back legal victories in São Paulo, with courts denying SPRIBE’s attempts to obtain an injunction to shut down its business activities.

The most recent decision was issued on 16 April by the 2nd Reserved Chamber of Business Law of the São Paulo Court of Appeals. The court denied the request for an emergency injunction, permitting Aviator Studio Brazil to maintain its operations with partners such as Foggo Entertainment (Blaze) while the ongoing litigation regarding the AVIATOR trademark remains unresolved.

In its ruling, the Court of Appeals pointed to three key arguments presented by Aviator Studio Brazil: the existence of a dispute regarding SPRIBE’s alleged exclusive rights to the “AVIATOR” trademark, the lack of evidence demonstrating immediate or irreversible damage, and the fact that Aviator Studio Brazil operates under a license from Aviator LLC, the validity of which will be determined throughout the legal proceedings.

The company also addressed a separate legal action announced by SPRIBE on 15 April concerning NSX Betnacional. Aviator LLC noted that neither it nor Betnacional had prior knowledge of the case, but upon learning of it, Aviator Studio Brazil intervened to assist Betnacional and take charge of the defense regarding the use of the AVIATOR brand.

Regarding the ruling, George Pruidze, CEO at Aviator Studio, stated:

“With two successive wins in both the trial and appellate courts of São Paulo, it is evident that there is no justification for the emergency measures requested by SPRIBE. Aviator Studio Brazil continues to conduct business legally under its license, and we remain dedicated to backing our partners and safeguarding the AVIATOR brand whenever required.

“As SPRIBE continues to initiate similar actions in Brazil, such as the current case involving Betnacional, we will persist in supporting our partners and ensuring the protection of the legitimate use of the AVIATOR brand. We are certain that our legal position and the facts of the case will continue to be upheld as these matters move forward.”
