Mark Longo, owner of the famous squirrel Peanut, has initiated a legal battle with Binance, accusing it of intellectual property infringement.

Beginning of the Legal Battle

Mark Longo has filed a lawsuit against Binance for allegedly unauthorized use of the 'PNUT' trademark and images of Peanut the Squirrel. Longo claims that the exchange violated his intellectual property rights by using his materials without permission.

My legal team initiated action against Binance for the unauthorized use of my intellectual property, including images and stories featuring my beloved animals.

Current Market Realities

The dispute has erupted amid heightened interest in the meme coin market. Longo recently launched the 'Justice for Peanut' (JFP) token, which he positions as the only real PNUT coin. The token initially saw a significant surge, reaching a market cap of $116 million, but has since plummeted by over 95%. Despite the sharp decline, Longo continues to promote the coin, which has sparked criticism within the crypto community.

You rugged 5 separate contracts and made millions of dollars already, and we have all the proof. Everyone knows you’re a scamming value extractor, Longo said.

Peanut the Squirrel's Impact in the Crypto World

Peanut the Squirrel, who rose to fame as a social media influencer, became a notable figure in the meme coin ecosystem. Longo and his pet gained wide recognition during the US presidential election following a clash with the New York Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC). In October, Peanut was confiscated over animal welfare concerns, and while in their care, the squirrel tragically died, igniting public outcry.

The dispute surrounding Peanut the Squirrel and its legal ramifications continue to gain public attention and raise questions about intellectual property protection in the digital age.
