Unicoin sues Uniswap Labs, seeks to cancel UNI trademark registration

This is a naming-rights fight dressed up as a trademark case: a token issuer trying to strip a major DEX of its registered mark, not a dispute over code or liquidity. The pre-launch correspondence suggests Uniswap's legal team moved first, which makes Unicoin's cancellation bid look reactive rather than opportunistic. How courts treat ticker-adjacent branding in crypto remains unsettled, and whether registries or exchanges tighten listing-name checks is the open question.
