Spribe has claimed a major legal win after the UK High Court granted an injunction against Aviator LLC. The ruling prevents Aviator LLC from marketing or launching its crash game product in the United Kingdom. This follows a trademark dispute between the two companies beginning when Spribe entered the UK market with its Aviator game in 2020.

Launched in 2018, the company argued that Aviator LLC copied its brand and concept. The UK Court agreed and restricted Aviator LLC from promoting or releasing its version in the country. Spribe hopes this decision will protect its brand and ensure fair competition.

A Shift in Legal Momentum for Spribe

The UK ruling comes months after Spribe suffered a major loss in Georgia. The courts ruled in favour of Aviator LLC, awarding the company $330 million in damages against Adjarabet. Spribe made an appeal, but the Supreme Court of Georgia rejected it in May 2025.

Despite losing in Georgia, the company has gained legal momentum with its UK victory. This shows that courts in other jurisdictions recognise its claim as the original creator of the Aviator crash game.

Spribe stated that the Georgian ruling followed a flawed legal process, raising concerns about their judiciary’s transparency. In contrast, Spribe praised the UK High Court’s decision as fair and critical in defending creators’ rights.

Strong Words from Spribe Leadership

Spribe’s CEO and Founder, David Natroshvili, expressed his support for the UK decision. “I am pleased that the highly respected UK Court supports our position and has granted an injunction preventing Aviator LLC from launching and promoting its copycat game, Spribe created the Aviator crash game in 2018 and is the sole owner of the game globally. We will continue to take all necessary steps globally to protect Spribe, our partners and players from any third parties who seek to undermine or infringe our rights.”

In a firm statement, Spribe also described Aviator LLC’s behaviour as childlike and petulant. The company criticised its rival’s legal tactics and reaffirmed commitment to sueing similar threats in other jurisdictions.

Global Legal Strategy in Focus

The company states that it will not hesitate to take action where the game or its brand is under threat. The UK decision serves as a precedent for other regions where Aviator LLC might be planning similar launches.

Elsewhere, other legal updates are shaping the gaming industry. In the U.S., Kalshi’s request for an injunction against the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Commission was denied by a federal judge. However, this week’s decision is a clear win for Spribe, protecting one of the industry’s most recognised crash games.
