SPRIBE Defeats Flutter’s Brazil Brand in Aviator Trademark Dispute

(AsiaGameHub) –   Following a complaint filed by SPRIBE, a Brazilian court has ordered Flutter Entertainment‘s local operating brand, NSX Brazil, to remove an Aviator-style game from its product lineup.

Aviator is one of Poland-headquartered game developer SPRIBE’s flagship titles – a social gaming product built around a flying curve that can crash at any time. During gameplay, users are required to cash out their winnings before the in-game plane crashes.

The company has been highly protective of the product and its associated trademark over the past several years, including pursuing legal action to block unauthorized use of the IP. For instance, it was previously involved in prolonged litigation with Georgian company Aviator LLC.

For the dispute involving NSX, SPRIBE filed its claim with the Court of Justice of Pernambuco (TJPE), referencing its Aviator trademark registration with Brazil’s National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI), which grants it exclusive rights to use the trademark under the Industrial Property Law.

The court ultimately ruled in favor of SPRIBE and ordered NSX to immediately cease all use of the Aviator trademark, including ‘identical or confusingly similar marks, such as reproductions of visual, graphic, or audiovisual elements’.

“This interim ruling in Brazil represents a major milestone in SPRIBE’s global strategy to protect its intellectual assets,” a statement from SPRIBE noted.

“The company is actively monitoring markets across all continents and will continue to enforce its trademark and copyright protections in every applicable jurisdiction.

“SPRIBE remains dedicated to taking all necessary legal action against infringing parties to preserve the integrity of the original Aviator experience, and ensure a fair, transparent environment for its global player community.”

NSX is part of Flutter Entertainment’s Brazilian division, which was established in 2025 following the January launch of the regulated local betting market – known regionally as the ‘Bets’ market.

Flutter Brazil was set up through Flutter’s acquisition of NSX, the operator of Betnacional, one of the largest betting brands in Brazil, which operated in the market prior to the official launch of the Bets market.

Flutter later brought both NSX/Betnacional and the local operations of its Betfair sportsbook and betting exchange under the Flutter Brazil umbrella.

SPRIBE confirmed that it had previously partnered with Betnacional under an agreement first signed in 2022. The legal dispute between the two parties emerged in 2025, after an Aviator game was launched on the NSX platform.

“While SPRIBE is deeply committed to its clients and places high value on long-term professional partnerships, the company has made clear that it cannot tolerate violations of its intellectual property,” SPRIBE’s statement added.
