Spribe Wins Aviator Brand Dispute in Curaçao After Losing in Georgian Court

The developer of the popular crash game Aviator, Spribe, has secured a victory in a trademark dispute over the brand in Curaçao, reports NEXT.io.

A court annulled two Aviator trademarks registered by Georgia-based Aviator LLC.

The ruling concerns two international Aviator trademark registrations filed in 2024 and extended to Curaçao. Representatives of Aviator LLC did not appear at the hearing, so the decision was issued in their absence.

Spribe argued that the disputed trademarks had been registered without its consent. The company also holds an earlier Aviator trademark registration in Curaçao, obtained in August 2023.

The court also ordered Aviator LLC to reimburse Spribe’s legal costs of around €1,000.

Aviator LLC is linked to a former Georgian partner of Spribe, which received rights to use the Aviator game in Georgia and Armenia under agreements signed in 2018 and 2021. Later, Aviator LLC also claimed rights to the Aviator name and intellectual property. Since then, the companies have been disputing those rights in courts and trademark offices across different countries.

In August 2024, a Georgian court ruled in favor of Aviator LLC in a trademark and copyright dispute, finding that Spribe’s trademarks had been registered in bad faith and infringed Aviator LLC’s copyright. Aviator LLC was awarded $330 million in compensation. In May 2025, the Supreme Court of Georgia upheld the ruling.

In the United Kingdom, however, Spribe has secured several decisions in its favor. In May 2026, a court ruled that findings made by Georgian courts could not automatically be applied when considering the dispute under English law. The main UK proceedings over rights to the Aviator brand are expected in late 2026 or early 2027.

Overall, Spribe has initiated more than 120 proceedings challenging Aviator LLC’s trademark registrations in different countries.
