SPRIBE Wins Interim Injunction in Brazil – Court Orders Betnacional to Immediately Cease Unauthorized Use of “AVIATOR”

Following a claim by SPRIBE OÜ, the Court of Justice of Pernambuco (TJPE) has issued an immediate injunction against NSX Brasil S.A. regarding the unauthorized use of the “AVIATOR” brand.

Court Mandate and Enforcement 

The Court granted the request for active effect, ordering NSX Brasil S.A to immediately cease using the “AVIATOR” trademark, as well as any identical or confusingly similar signs, including the reproduction of visual, graphical, or audiovisual elements associated with the Claimant’s product. The Court has imposed daily fines for non-compliance. This measure is will remain in force until further decision or final judgment of the appeal. The Court’s decision noted the plausibility of the legal claim based on SPRIBE’s ownership of the “AVIATOR” trademark, which is registered with the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI). This registration grants the owner exclusive use rights throughout the Brazilian territory under the Industrial Property Law.

About Betnacional 

Betnacional is one of the most prominent sports betting brands in the Brazilian market. It is operated by NSX Brasil S.A., which recently became a core part of the global gaming giant Flutter Entertainment Plc, following Flutter’s acquisition of a majority stake in the NSX Group. Worth to note, that Betnacional had been an authorized licensee of SPRIBE since 2022. While SPRIBE is deeply loyal to its clients and values long-term professional relationships, the company stated that it cannot tolerate violation of its intellectual property. The legal dispute arose after Betnacional featured a game under the “Aviator” name, offered by “Aviator Studio” since 2025. According to SPRIBE OÜ’s allegations, this version is an unauthorized reproduction of their popular crash game, AVIATOR, which was developed by SPRIBE in late 2018 and has been established in the global entertainment market.

Global Stance on IP Protection

This interim decision in Brazil marks a significant milestone in SPRIBE’s worldwide strategy to safeguard its assets. The company is actively monitoring markets across all continents and will continue to enforce its trademark and copyright protections in every jurisdiction. SPRIBE remains committed to taking all necessary legal actions against infringer to protect the integrity of the original “AVIATOR” experience and ensure a fair, transparent environment for its global player base.
