Software development giant Oracle Corporation has again filed suit against crypto startup Crypto Oracle LLC and its proprietor, accusing them of violating its trademark and disregarding prior legal agreements.

軟體開發巨頭甲骨文公司再次對加密新創公司 Crypto Oracle LLC 及其所有者提起訴訟，指控他們侵犯其商標並無視先前的法律協議。

On November 25th, in a California federal court, Oracle filed its complaint against Crypto Oracle and Louis Kerner, alleging that they "resumed their violation of Oracle's trademark rights" and were "egregiously and flagrantly violating" a settlement agreement.

11 月 25 日，甲骨文在加州聯邦法院對 Crypto Oracle 和 Louis Kerner 提起訴訟，指控他們“重新侵犯甲骨文的商標權”，並“嚴重且公然違反”和解協議。

The software giant initially initiated proceedings against the crypto firm in 2019, accusing it of "using Oracle's famous trademark as part of their 'CryptoOracle' brand and using that brand to market cryptocurrency-related services to Oracle's own customers and users."

這家軟體巨頭最初於2019 年對這家加密貨幣公司提起訴訟，指控其「使用甲骨文的著名商標作為其'CryptoOracle'品牌的一部分，並利用該品牌向甲骨文自己的客戶和用戶推銷與加密貨幣相關的服務。

A confidential settlement was reached between the two firms, and in 2020, the court issued a permanent injunction prohibiting Crypto Oracle from using the "CryptoOracle" name or any variation of the Oracle trademark.

兩家公司達成了秘密和解，並於 2020 年發布了永久禁令，禁止 Crypto Oracle 使用「CryptoOracle」名稱或 Oracle 商標的任何變體。

However, Oracle now claims that Crypto Oracle and Kerner have resumed using the 'CryptoOracle' name and branding, launched new ventures, maintained the infringing domain name, and hosted events under the "CryptoOracle Collective" brand in violation of the settlement agreement and court injunction.

然而，Oracle 現在聲稱，Crypto Oracle 和 Kerner 已恢復使用「CryptoOracle」名稱和品牌，推出新企業，保留侵權域名，並以「CryptoOracle Collective」品牌舉辦活動，違反了和解協議和法院禁令。

Oracle's complaint includes accusations of trademark infringement, unfair competition, dilution of its trademark, cybersquatting, breach of the settlement agreement, and civil contempt of court. The company seeks injunctive relief, monetary damages, statutory penalties, attorney fees, and the transfer or removal of infringing domains and branding.

甲骨文的投訴包括商標侵權、不公平競爭、商標淡化、網域搶注、違反和解協議、民事藐視法庭等指控。該公司尋求禁制令救濟、金錢賠償、法定處罰、律師費以及轉讓或刪除侵權網域和品牌。

Kerner did not provide an immediate response to a request for comment, and information on Crypto Oracle's legal representation is not currently available.

Kerner 沒有立即回應置評請求，目前無法獲得有關 Crypto Oracle 法律代表的資訊。

Legal disputes involving crypto companies and trademarks are not uncommon. In February 2023, NanoLabs filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against crypto exchange Coinbase over its Nano Bitcoin and Ether futures contracts. In 2022, the Dfinity Foundation, the nonprofit behind the Internet Computer blockchain, filed suit against Facebook's parent company Meta, alleging trademark infringement over its infinity logo.

涉及加密貨幣公司和商標的法律糾紛並不罕見。 2023 年 2 月，NanoLabs 針對加密貨幣交易所 Coinbase 就其 Nano 比特幣和以太幣期貨合約提起商標侵權訴訟。 2022 年，網路電腦區塊鏈背後的非營利組織 Dfinity 基金會對 Facebook 母公司 Meta 提起訴訟，指控其無限標誌商標侵權。
