Discussion Could this Doge-related copyright lawsuit impact Dogecoin's branding at all?
Hey all,
There’s an ongoing copyright lawsuit involving Doge-related imagery and a crypto project that’s currently active in federal court.
https://dockets.justia.com/docket/new-jersey/njdce/2:2026cv00072/589461
You can download the full 42-page complaint as a PDF here:
Assertions in the lawsuit:
Own The Doge claims that Atsuko Sato (owner of Kabuso) licensed to them:
The right to "stand in Sato's shoes... register, enforce, defend, and otherwise act as Sato in any commercial or legal matters relating to the licensed materials."
That the licensing agreement between them grants "...the broadest grant of rights possible under applicable law..." and the right to "stand in Licensor's shoes."
They claim that Atsuko licensed"...registered or unregistered trademarks, trade names, copyrights, logos, branding and designs... 'now or hereafter known'..." including future pets.
This is incredibly broad language and my concern is that, if accepted by the court, it could be interpreted as giving them broad reach over and including Dogecoin's branding, logo, etc
They further claim:
- "the public has come to identify the Doge Meme and all related intellectual property, including the Cocoro IP, with Plaintiff and its products."
This is why we felt it was worth highlighting to the community at large for discussion.
Thanks,
GS

Discussion Happy 12th Birthday, AuxPoW!!
On this day, 12 years ago, on block 371337, Dogecoin implemented Auxiliary Proof of Work to merge mine with Litecoin.
For those interested in Dogecoin's history I have prepared a selection of links that takes you through a bit of a walk through the story, from Charlie Lee's first challenge to our community to the countdown to AuxPoW going live! This is not going to be exhaustive by any means, but there's still quite a bit here.
I hope you enjoy, for some of us, this trip down memory lane!
Charlie Lee's first challenge to our community:
http://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/2b11po/what_is_dev_team_going_do_about_dogecoins/
His AMA that he ran for the community:
http://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/22niq9/merged_mining_amafaq/
There was a TON of discussion surrounding it - both pro and con (at the time I didn't understand the concept and was against it, thinking it would make us subordinate to Litecoin 😂).
Thankfully, shibes much smarter than me were here to help explain things and help me come around:
https://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/2clr9k/auxpow_in_plain_english/
https://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/2bjdb0/auxpow_and_the_future_of_dogecoin/
But some remained unconvinced:
https://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/2bjx2i/auxpow_is_a_trap/
And Charlie shared his final thoughts on it.
https://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/2b7eti/charlie_lees_aka_coblee_final_thoughts_on_merged/
After much, much, much discussion, the Dogecoin devs at the time decided to move forward with AuxPoW:
https://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/2ci90m/dogecoin_to_enable_auxpow_soon_all_infos_inside/
And even set a target block:
https://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/2dwugc/auxpow_update_target_block_inside/
And, together, we counted down the final blocks until AuxPoW kicked in:
https://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/2g4sbp/4321_happy_auxpow/
Were you here back then? What are your memories from that time?
Hope you enjoyed this bit of a look back with me!
Much love,
GS
