According to the documents submitted to the Federal District Court of the Northern District of California, the billionaire project created mass confusion in the market, causing damage to the XII brand.
The maternal company of the Game Protocol EX Populus said that she used the XII trademark since June 2023 – this was the name of the protocol and token.
Musk announced its XAI in July of the same year. The lawsuit contains evidence in the form of screenshots from social networks and sites.
At the same time, confusion was aggravated when in 2024 the XAI announced plans to launch a game studio.
As confirmation, the prosecution attached a post from the Binance forum, in which the user had to explain the difference between the projects.
Representatives of EX Populus claim that the damage goes beyond the lost business reputation. XAI was faced with the “serious negative attitude of consumers” due to the ambiguous image of the mask and scandals around the XII products.
In addition, the businessman’s legal team tried to put pressure on EX Populus in order to force her to abandon his rights, threatening the cancellation of registration in the United States, the lawsuit said.
The US Office has already suspended several applications for registration from the XAI.
Ex Populus seeks the complete abolition of the company’s author’s claims, compensation for damage for violation of the rights and court decisions prohibiting the Mask company to use the disputed name.
