Black trans sex toy company Shop Enby is raising money for a legal defence after being threatened with a legal challenge by sexual wellness boutique Wild Flower over using the word “enby”.
Enby is an abbreviation for non-binary, widely used instead of “NB” because NB is an abbreviation already in use for non-Black (as in, non-Black people of colour).
Wild Flower’s first sex toy, which it launched last summer, is called “ENBY”.
On 16 October, Shop Enby was sent a legal letter by lawyers acting for Wild Flower with the subject line: “Your unlawful use of Wild Flower’s intellectual property.”
The legal letter says that Wild Flower “has owned the ‘Enby’ mark in relation to sex toys since at least as early as June 2019”.
“As such, we must request that you immediately cease and desist… using the Enby mark,” says the letter, which Shop Enby posted to its Instagram on 24 November.
