In June 2022, HIKKY filed a trademark registration application for "Poppy Street" on behalf of Coquelicotz. The trademark was filed to prevent unauthorized third-party use of the name while ensuring users could freely create content such as videos, music, and 3D models referencing the world. Although HIKKY holds the trademark as a proxy, the company agreed contractually to not restrict its use without Coquelicotz's consent.
