Unicoin sues Uniswap Labs in New York federal court over alleged trademark conflicts involving “UNI.” Unicoin seeks a court declaration that its UNICOIN trademark does not infringe Uniswap’s marks. It also asks the court to cancel Uniswap’s federal UNI trademark registration.
The filings are tied to earlier communications and efforts around Unicoin’s launch and related domain use. Cointelegraph reports that Uniswap’s counsel sends three letters before Unicoin’s Sept. 28 launch and seeks declarations regarding Uniswap’s marks and domains. NDTV describes the dispute as following months of correspondence about Unicoin’s name and domains.
Unicoin’s position is that the “UNI” term is generic or descriptive and should not receive trademark protection in Uniswap’s federal registration. Uniswap Labs is pursuing its own positions through correspondence, as described by Cointelegraph, but the outlets differ mainly in emphasis on the timeline and specific steps rather than the central claim: a trademark dispute over the “UNI” designation and related registrations.
