The trademark infringement trial between French luxury brand Herm\u00e8s and digital artist Mason Rothschild is set to go ahead on Jan. 30 in a Manhattan federal court.<\/p>\n
The luxury brand accused the nonfungible token (NFT)\u00a0artist of trademark infringement for promoting and selling MetaBirkins, an NFT\u00a0collection said to be inspired by the group’s Birkin bags.<\/p>\n
The trial and its related lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York can be first traced back to Jan. 14, 2022, when Herm\u00e8s first filed a complaint\u00a0against Mason Rothschild after the artist allegedly refused to stop selling his NFT collection.<\/p>\n
