MetaBirkins NFT Creator Barred from Museum Display After Hermès Lawsuit
Mason Rothschild, the artist behind the controversial MetaBirkins NFT, has been banned from showcasing the pieces at a museum exhibition for Stockholm-based Spritmuseum after Hermès won a trademark lawsuit against them, court documents from March 13 revealed.
Rothschild (also known as Sonny Estival) was found liable for trademark infringement last month after French fashion house Hermès sued him over the MetaBirkins NFT project.
Rothschild claimed the project, which depicted the designer company’s iconic Birkin bag on NFTs, was well within his rights to make.
Last June, Hermès was granted a permanent injunction against the digital artist, effectively ceasing him from using the company’s trademark within his work.
