Last month, Universal’s 10:22PM label paid $360,817 to purchase Bored Ape #5537 with the purpose of creating an entirely virtual music group. In particular, Bored Ape #5537 – which is now known as Manager Noët All – will lead the group founded in November called Kingship. Kingship is made up of four NFTs – one mutant ape, and three bored apes.
“These trademark applications are a logical step to legally protect that investment,” trademark attorney Kondoudis opined.
