A Manhattan federal judge on Friday granted Hermes' request to permanently block artist Mason Rothschild's sales of "MetaBirkin" non-fungible tokens following a jury's verdict that they violated the French luxury house's trademark rights in its famed Birkin handbags. U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff said the permanent injunction was justified because Rothschild's continued marketing of the NFTs would likely confuse consumers and irreparably harm the company. Rakoff denied Rothschild's requests to throw out the verdict or hold a new trial.
