Supreme Court of Georgia Dismisses SPRIBE’s Appeal, Solidifying Aviator LLC’s IP Victory

TBILISI, Georgia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On May 20, 2025, the Supreme Court of Georgia dismissed SPRIBE’s appeal as inadmissible, thereby finalizing the invalidation of SPRIBE’s trademarks in Georgia. The court confirmed that SPRIBE’s trademarks were registered in bad faith and in violation of Aviator LLC’s copyright. This ruling marks a significant milestone for Aviator LLC in its global intellectual property enforcement efforts, particularly as Georgia—the country of origin of the Aviator IP—has now formally recognized Aviator LLC as the rightful owner of both the Aviator trademark and the associated airplane image.

The decision delivers a strategic victory to Aviator LLC, strengthening its legal position in related disputes unfolding across multiple jurisdictions.

The decision delivers a strategic victory to Aviator LLC, strengthening its legal position in related disputes unfolding across multiple jurisdictions. The recognition of Aviator LLC’s exclusive IP rights in its home country may serve as a persuasive precedent in ongoing proceedings elsewhere.

One such key proceeding is currently underway at the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), where Aviator LLC has filed for the invalidation of SPRIBE’s Aviator trademarks. SPRIBE has thus far requested three separate deadline extensions for filing a response—an apparent attempt to delay the case and avoid addressing the underlying allegation: the unauthorized registration of third-party intellectual property in the European market.
