Unicoin challenges Uniswap’s UNI trademark registration ahead of launch

Unicoin has filed a complaint against Uniswap Labs seeking to cancel the company’s registration for the UNI mark. According to Cointelegraph, the filing also asks for declarations concerning the parties’ respective marks and domain names. The complaint says counsel for Uniswap Labs sent Unicoin three letters before Unicoin’s planned Sept. 28 launch. The dispute places Unicoin’s branding and online domains in contention with the established Uniswap name and its UNI designation. No further details on the requested declarations or the legal basis for the cancellation claim were provided in the supplied material. The case could be relevant to market participants following UNI and other crypto assets connected to projects using similar branding, although the material does not indicate any ruling or change to UNI’s trading status.
