Sky Mavis, co-founded by Alexander Larsen, alleges that Seed Go’s “Seedmon” NFTs infringe on Axie Infinity’s IP.
Larsen has reached out to Sui and Mysten Labs, seeking a resolution outside the courtroom.
The dispute highlights risks of IP conflicts in blockchain gaming, potentially affecting project reputations and investor trust.
Sky Mavis has accused Seed Go of IP infringement, claiming the “Seedmon” NFTs bear resemblance to the Axie Infinity creatures. Alexander Larsen expressed the company’s intent to resolve this issue amicably without resorting to litigation.
The dispute involves Sky Mavis and the Sui-powered game, Seed Go. Larsen, co-founder of Sky Mavis, publicly called out Mysten Labs and Sui, requesting their cooperation to address the alleged infringement.
“This infringes on our Axie Infinity IP, and it’s not okay,” — Alexander Larsen, Co-founder, Sky Mavis
Financially, there appears to be no immediate impact on Axie Infinity’s AXS tokens or on Seed Go’s SLOVE tokens. The market has not experienced liquidity issues related to the dispute so far.
Socially and politically, the situation underscores the intricate nature of IP rights in blockchain projects. Stakeholders are watching closely for any regulatory or legal precedents this case may set.
Sky Mavis aims to avoid court action by negotiating directly with Sui Foundation and Mysten Labs. Historically, such disputes may lead to temporary trading issues, but major price shifts in related tokens remain unreported.
The outcome may establish a regulatory framework for protecting intellectual property in blockchain, affecting future technological collaborations and investors’ confidence in NFT games.
