Reportedly, RR\/BAYC NFTs linked to the same artwork files as BAYC NFTs. This, Yuga Labs claimed, was a deliberate attempt to mislead potential BAYC investors. Thus, the company filed the suit on the grounds of false advertising, trademark infringement, unjust enrichment, and misleading consumers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Later in August, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/ryder-ripps-and-paulys-lawyer-for-the-bayc-case-may-surprise-you\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ryder Ripps\u2019 lawyers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> filed an anti-SLAPP motion against Yuga Labs. This allows defendants to stop lawsuits against \u201cprotected speech made in connection with a public issue.\u201d In the motion, Ripps\u2019 lawyers claimed that the lawsuit was Yuga Labs\u2019 attempt at silencing the artist for his racism allegations against the project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"What_did_the_California_judge_order\"><b>What did the California judge order?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the December <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/8c0v5ix2lztpc9y\/2022.12.16%20Yuga%20Labs%20v.%20Ripps.pdf?dl=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">order<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Judge Walter wrote that BAYC had \u201cnot brought claims against Defendants for defamation, slander, or libel.
