Li Lin’s business, X-Spot, has taken legal action against the cryptocurrency exchange Huobi. The lawsuit claims that Huobi resumed using the “Huobi” brand without permission, despite the acquisition of its stock by About Capital Management.
The lawsuit emphasizes that the original owners of the company, including the trademark, still retain ownership as per the terms of the agreement. The stock transfer agreement explicitly prohibits the buyer from using the Huobi name and trademark.
Huobi Token (HT) Experiences Significant Surge:
Accusations of token dumping by Li Lin’s brother, made by Justin Sun, resulted in the freezing of accounts and the resumption of Huobi Global’s use of the brand. No official comments have been made by Huobi Global or Justin Sun regarding the lawsuit.
In addition, Malaysian authorities have ordered Huobi to cease its operations in the country due to alleged unlawful activities.
Despite the ongoing legal dispute, the exchange’s token has been performing positively. Both the weekly and daily charts show favorable market trends, indicating success. The token’s value remains unaffected by the legal proceedings involving the parent company.
