What caused the Yuga Labs Bored Ape NFT lawsuit?

Yuga sued Ryder Ripps and Jeremy Cahen over RR/BAYC, a collection reusing BAYC images they called satire but Yuga deemed trademark theft.

What are the terms of the Yuga Labs settlement?

Terms undisclosed, but it bars Ripps and Cahen from Yuga trademarks and avoids a trial.

Unclear—market crash and this loss make big fights riskier, but brand protection obsession lingers.
