In April 2020, BiNet USA claimed that it was the sole copyright owner of the flag and flag colors, and said organizations and individuals who wished to use the flag for commercial purposes would be required to obtain a license from the organization. BiNet's claim and the resulting controversy were covered by "Out" and "LGBTQ Nation", which cast doubt on BiNet's claim and noted that the flag is not eligible for copyright. On April 29, 2020, BiNetUSA made a tweet claiming the Wikipedia page for the bisexual pride flag was inaccurate. BiNetUSA ultimately ceased to use the flag on May 8th, opting instead to use a different design.
