Luxury fashion brand Hermes International SA won its lawsuit against the digital artist behind "MetaBirkin” nonfungible tokens after convincing a Manhattan federal jury that Mason Rothschild’s sale of the NFTs violated Hermes’ rights to the "Birkin” trademark.
The nine-person jury returned a verdict on Wednesday (Feb 8), awarding Hermes US$133,000 (approximately RM572,900) in total damages.
