Adidas has filed a complaint alleging that clothing retailer, Forever 21, and clothing manufacturer/distributor, Central Mills, have been selling counterfeit adidas clothing. In the complaint, adidas alleges Defendants have been importing and selling “apparel bearing three stripes that constitute counterfeit and/or confusingly similar imitations of adidas’s Three-Stripe Mark,” and included pictures of two examples (see Complaint below).

In 2013, Forever 21 and Central Mills were sued by fashion photograher, Mark Hunter, for copyright infringement. Hunter alleged that Defendants used one of his photographs on clothing without authorization. That case was settled out of court less than four months after the complaint was filed.

City of Portland Defends its Historic Sign in Federal Court

21 Tuesday Jul 2015

The City of Portland bought the famous Portland Oregon sign – commonly known as the “White Stag” sign or the “Made in Oregon” sign – Portland's state trademark registration in the signin 2010. The following year, in July 2011, the city registered its trademark with the state of Oregon. It appears that the City started charging license fees for commercial use of images of the famous sign around January 2013. Vintage Roadside is an Oregon company that aims “to bring back to light the authentic advertising graphics and logos of [] bygone businesses” by giving “people the opportunity to indulge in one of life’s great pleasures: the gift shop souvenir!” Vintage Roadside also runs an Etsy store that sells photographs of vintage roadside attractions.

According to the Complaint, the City of Portland’s attorneys contacted Vintage Roadside and asserted that their photograph violated the City’s trademark in the sign. Vintage Roadside filed a preemptive lawsuit, seeking a declaratory judgment, in the Multnomah County Circuit. Plaintiff alleges both that the City’s state trademark is unenforceable and that Plaintiff is not infringing and has not infringed any enforceable trademark relating to the sign. The City has removed the case to federal court. The heart of Plaintiff’s argument is that the City of Portland incorrectly filed its Vintage Roadside Etsy Screenshottrademark application. The recitation of services in the state trademark registration (as shown above, and on p. 9 of the Complaint below) is awkward. The only good or service listed on the application is, “The sign is a visual icon associated with Portland, and is seen all over the world when major events come to Portland.” In the space available to explain the mode or manner in which the mark is used, the City of Portland simply wrote, “An historical landmark of Portland, Oregon.” Vintage Roadside is alleging that the City of Portland was not using the mark in connection with the sale of goods and services and falsely certified that the mark was in use.

More updates to come as the case progresses…

Adidas has filed a trademark complaint against Reliable Knitting Works, a Wisconsin based company doing business as Reliable of Milwaukee. Adidas is alleging that Muk Luks, one of Reliable’s brands, sells a shoe that, Adidas alleges, “bears parallel stripes on the mid-foot portion of the upper in a manner likely to be confused with adidas’s famous Three-Stripe Mark.”

Adidas is asking the Court to: “(a) permanently enjoin Reliable from marketing or selling footwear bearing confusingly similar two-, three-, and four-stripe imitations of the Three-Stripe Mark; (b) award adidas monetary damages and to treble that award; (c) require Reliable to disgorge all profits from sales of the Infringing Footwear; and (d) award adidas punitive damages, attorneys’ fees, and costs.”

Control Solutions is in the business of selling certified, calibrated thermometers and data “loggers,” devices that record temperature readings over time. MicroDAQ.com was allegedly running Google Adwords campaigns, such that an internet user searching on of Control Solutions’ trademarks, trade names and/or product names/numbers would receive as a search result a reference and hyperlink to MicrDAQ’s website and purchasing system instead of Control Solutions’. In March 2015, MicroDAQ.com’s sales & marketing manager replied to a cease and desist letter. In the reply, the manager admitted to running at least two such campaigns and promised to stop the campaigns. Control Solutions claims that the ad campaigns resulted in lost sales as well as lost future revenue since a portion of the company’s revenue is derived from recertifying devices sold to customers.
