A Brazilian court has revoked a preliminary injunction that had temporarily restricted Spribe’s operations in the country, marking a major development in the ongoing legal battle over the popular crash game Aviator.
The dispute began when a Brazilian company claimed ownership rights over the Aviator name and branding in the local market, arguing that Spribe’s use of the title violated its intellectual property rights. The initial injunction created uncertainty around the game’s availability in Brazil, one of the fastest-growing regulated online gambling markets in the world.
However, the court has now reversed that decision, allowing Spribe to continue offering Aviator while the wider legal case proceeds. The ruling does not represent a final judgment on the trademark dispute but removes the immediate restrictions that had affected the company.
Spribe welcomed the decision, maintaining that it is the legitimate creator and owner of Aviator. The company said it remains committed to protecting its intellectual property and defending its rights globally.
Aviator, launched in 2019, has become one of the most recognizable crash games in the online casino sector. The title allows players to place bets on a rising multiplier and cash out before a virtual aircraft flies away. Its rapid growth has made it a key product for many operators worldwide, while also increasing the importance of brand protection in emerging markets.
The case comes at a crucial time for Brazil’s gambling industry. The country launched its regulated online betting market in January 2025, creating stricter licensing requirements and a formal legal framework for operators and suppliers.
Although Spribe has secured a short-term victory, the trademark proceedings remain ongoing, and the final decision could still influence how Aviator and similar branded gaming products are protected in Brazil’s expanding iGaming market.
