In a recent decision, the UK High Court has granted SPRIBE a preliminary injunction in the ongoing legal battle concerning the Aviator game disagreement.
SPRIBE, the creator of the popular Aviator game, has scored a significant legal victory in the UK against Aviator LLC. On August 1, 2025, the UK High Court granted SPRIBE an interim injunction, preventing Aviator LLC from launching or marketing its copycat crash game in the UK [1][3].
David Natroshvili, SPRIBE's Founder, expressed his satisfaction with the decision. The court's recognition of SPRIBE's intellectual property rights over its Aviator game marks a crucial step in safeguarding the game's success within the UK market [2].
The court's decision came as a result of SPRIBE's legal action against Aviator LLC, which was criticized for its "childlike" and "petulant" conduct during the proceedings. The court pointed to conflicting evidence and attempts to obscure responsibility [1].
Aviator LLC, through its lawyer Nikoloz Gogilidze, argues that the injunction has limited practical effect since the company never planned to enter the UK market. However, the injunction maintains the status quo, protecting SPRIBE's award-winning Aviator game within the UK [5].
Despite the legal victory, the broader dispute continues. Aviator LLC disputes the injunction's real-world impact, and the case remains ongoing regarding the full merits and potential further developments beyond this interim ruling.
SPRIBE, which created the Aviator game in 2018 and is the sole owner of the game globally [4], will continue to take all necessary steps globally to protect its rights. The Aviator game has enjoyed resounding success and is constantly growing its customer base.
