Yuga Labs, the creator of the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) non-fungible token (NFT) collection, has been accused of illegally trademarking the BAYC wolf skull logo without proper licenses. The logo was allegedly taken from a company specializing in drawing tutorials for beginners and children. NFTs were created to protect artists and their intellectual property. However, Yuga Labs has been accused of the very thing NFTs were created to prevent.
