Pernambuco Court Dismisses Spribe's Lawsuit Against NSX over AVIATOR Dispute

A court in the State of Pernambuco, Brazil, dismissed all claims filed by Spribe against NSX, the company linked to the Betnacional brand, in a judicial proceeding related to disputes surrounding AVIATOR. According to the official statement released in September 2026, the ruling stated that there was no trademark infringement, copyright violation, or unfair competition by NSX.

Judicial Ruling and Grounds

The ruling of the Pernambuco court was based on the absence of conclusive evidence demonstrating violations of the intellectual property rights claimed by Spribe. Specifically, it was concluded that NSX did not commit trademark infringement or copyright violation concerning AVIATOR, nor was there evidence of unfair competition. The judicial resolution, cited in the statement, establishes that all claims made by Spribe are dismissed against NSX, thus allowing the company to maintain its operational position in the Brazilian market.

Context in Other Jurisdictions: Background in São Paulo

The dispute is not limited to Pernambuco. Previously, courts in the State of São Paulo evaluated urgent measures requested by Spribe against Aviator Studio—another entity involved in the AVIATOR issue. The rulings, both at first and second instance, rejected Spribe's requests and allowed Aviator Studio to sustain its operations in Brazil during the general dispute related to the AVIATOR brand. With these precedents, Brazilian judicial decisions show a trend of denying anticipatory measures in favor of Spribe, maintaining the status quo while substantive claims are resolved.

Details of Spribe's Claims

Spribe based its lawsuit on alleged infringements of trademark and copyright rights, as well as the existence of acts of unfair competition. In the Pernambuco case, the court examined these claims and ruled in all instances in favor of NSX. According to the statement, Spribe framed the ruling as a response to "substantive allegations" presented to the court. The company also contextualized the sentence as part of a broader set of disputes surrounding AVIATOR and the corresponding rights in Brazil and other international markets.

Repercussions in the Gaming and Intellectual Property Sector

The judicial outcome has direct consequences for NSX's operational capabilities, which continues to conduct business activities associated with the Betnacional brand, without additional restrictions imposed by these claims. The case illustrates the legal challenges faced by international gaming technology providers within the Brazilian regulatory context and the complexities of protecting intellectual property across multiple markets. These rulings could influence future similar controversies that address title rights and popular developments in the iGaming sector.

For operators and suppliers interested in legal and regulatory developments in Brazil, the situation underscores the importance of monitoring local judicial rulings and their potential impact on business strategies and intellectual property asset protection. Industry updates and regulatory trends play a key role in understanding the competitive environment.

Business Implications and Next Steps

With the lawsuits dismissed in Pernambuco and with similar precedents in São Paulo, NSX and the operational holders of AVIATOR maintain the current market conditions. The decision may still be subject to appeals or lead to new legal actions while the international disagreement over trademark and copyright rights in gaming persists.

“The ruling fundamentally addresses the main allegations of trademark infringement, copyright rights, and unfair competition against NSX, dismissing all,” explained Spribe in the official communication issued following the announcement of the ruling.

The parties will need to assess the next steps considering the current stance of Brazilian courts, which have prioritized the operational continuity of the defendants while awaiting definitive solutions regarding the ownership of AVIATOR.
