Spribe Secures Interim Protection from UK Court in Aviator Case

The High Court in England has extended Spribe's interim protection in its case concerning the Aviator game. According to the ruling published on Monday, the two Georgia-based Aviator LLC companies and the Malta-based Aviator Studios will not be able to offer the game on new platforms in Colombia, Serbia and Romania while the case continues. They will also have to notify Spribe before releasing the game in Canada and Italy.

An interim injunction is a time-limited order issued before a full trial. At this stage, the court has not decided whether the rival game infringes Spribe's rights or constitutes unfair competition.

Spribe argues that the rival game copies its Aviator Crash game, in which players watch a multiplier rise and choose when to cash out. The company says the rival uses the same name and similar logos, and claims there is a risk of confusion. The judge found it “highly likely” that two crash games with the same name and very similar logos could confuse customers and draw them away from Spribe. The court also said that using such a confusingly similar name and logo in a country where the rival has built significant business and reputation would not be consistent with “honest commercial practices.”

Spribe launched its game in Georgia in 2019 and by 2021 it had spread to several markets, including the UK. That same year it filed a copyright application. The rival game was released in March 2025. The ruling allows Spribe to pursue its international claims within the existing UK case rather than filing separate lawsuits in each country. These claims cover South Africa, Kenya, Mexico, Canada, Italy, Colombia, Ghana, Romania and Serbia. Spribe also said that Malta's courts had issued a decision covering European Union countries, in addition to the earlier interim injunction in the UK.
