Dapper Labs, the blockchain game developer responsible for CryptoKitties, has persuaded a federal court to bar a token project from using the name "flow."

  • The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York's order filed Monday prohibits the Flow Protocol from using the word "flow" in connection with the sale and marketing of its native token.

  • Along with CryptoKitties, Dapper Labs is also behind the digital collectibles platform NBA Top Shot, which allows user to collect and trade in-game "moments."
