Community news: Former Aptos Chinese ambassador was terminated and registered a Chinese trademark while interfering with community activities.

On September 2, according to crypto KOL @cryptobraveHQ, a former Aptos Chinese ambassador, after being terminated, registered the Aptos trademark and brand in China and interfered with the activities of the Aptos-supported Chinese community. This person used to receive a salary of 200 USDT per month and registered social media accounts related to the Aptos Chinese community before leaving, spreading information related to Aptos. Legal practitioners say that international trademark squatting has cases in various industries globally, but is relatively rare in the Web3 field. Although the probability of successfully defending rights through legal channels is high, the costs are high, the duration is long, and the results are uncertain. For Web3 project parties, such behavior not only interferes with the original brand layout but may also allow the squatter to exploit brand awareness for product or Token sales, leading to potential risks.
