CoinFeed reported on April 9th that, according to The Block, Bored Ape Yacht Club developer Yuga Labs has reached a settlement with concept artist Ryder Ripps and his business partner Jeremy Cahen in a long-standing trademark dispute. According to court documents, the two parties have reached an agreement on the claims in the case, but details of the settlement have not yet been disclosed.
