Hermès Awaits Court Order for MetaBirkin NFTs
According to Reuters, the luxury fashion brand Hermesasks a federal court to block sales of NFTs based on the popular Birkin bag.
Last month, a New York judge named “MetaBirkin” based on digital artist Mason Rothschild’s Birkin bags. NFT decided to infringe Hermès’ intellectual property rights by promoting and selling its products. Rothschild was ordered to pay 133,000 dollars in compensation.
He said that in Hermès’ file reached by Reuters, Rothschild claimed that he continued to promote NFTs despite the decision. The fashion company wants the federal court to intervene and order Rothschild to not only stop selling digital assets, but also hand over the NFTs he still owns to Hermès.
The court’s decision in favor of Hermès in February was held to set an important and potentially precedent, as it questioned whether NFTs were art or commodities.
