PANews reported on December 18 that according to CoinDesk, Own The Doge DAO, the collective that holds the original "doge" meme, said on Tuesday that they have obtained the right to use the image of the pet Shiba Inu Neiro and are conducting community discussions on which NEIRO token can continue to use the image of the dog.
Own The Doge stated on X: “Kabosumama has officially licensed our DAO to use Neiro’s intellectual property (IP), and when Atsuko revealed the name of her new puppy, Neiro, many tokens emerged in an attempt to profit from her name and story. However, since then, these different tokens have been vying for the status of the ‘real’ Neiro token, with no agreed-upon criteria. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Our DAO owns the rights to Neiro’s IP. The doge community can join the DAO and vote for which token they believe is the real one.” This ongoing discussion will allow community members and outsiders to comment and find a way forward for using Neiro’s IP before it is submitted as an actual on-chain proposal for DOG token holders to vote on.
