Regarding the question of "whether ai16z is suspected of infringing the a16z trademark", X user @0xjunkdogg said there is no need to worry about this situation and gave the following explanation:
1. Communicated with a16z via email;
2. a16z's CTO is currently in ai16z's Discord, but has not yet spoken publicly;
3. a16z co-founder Marc Anderson has forwarded relevant content;
4. ai16z and a16z are jointly promoting the DUNA project, that is, promoting the legalization of DAO in the United States. Previously, a16z has implemented the DAO legal framework in some states, and both parties are currently working to expand their legal coverage.
Earlier today, Dragonfly managing partner Haseeb Qureshi posted on X: "So I want to ask an obvious question, since ai16z is now a token with a market value of more than $1 billion, does it not infringe on a16z's trademark? ai16z initially felt like a parody, but now it seems to have become a more legitimate project with a more positive roadmap." And seek intellectual property lawyers to help answer doubts. He added: "It's hard to become a token with a market value of $1 billion without commercial intent."
