ChainCatcher reported that the Ethereum-based gaming network Xai has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company xAI, accusing it of trademark infringement and unfair competition.
The lawsuit was filed on Thursday in the Northern District Court of California, alleging that Musk's xAI company has caused widespread market confusion, damaging the Xai brand.
The Delaware-based company Ex Populus, behind Xai, stated that it has been using the XAI trademark in U.S. commerce since June 2023, including through its blockchain gaming ecosystem and $XAI token.
"This is a typical trademark infringement case that requires court intervention to correct." According to the lawsuit documents, Ex Populus operates the Xai ecosystem, which includes a blockchain network designed for video games and digital transactions, providing infrastructure that supports game logic, AI-driven decision-making, rewards, and data management across multiple applications.
