Adidas is back in court! The giant sued Hall of Fame Sports Memorabilia over collectible jerseys, claiming they infringe on the iconic three-stripe mark. πŸ‘•πŸ‡¦πŸ‡·

The issue is all about precise wording! πŸ“βš–οΈ

Adidas claims the designs are confusingly similar because they feature three stripes running from the collar to the shoulder. But Hall of Fame hit back, arguing that Adidas’ actual trademark registration specifically describes β€œstripes running along the sleeve of a shirt.” 🧡🚫

Since these stripes stop before the sleeve, the defense says there’s no infringement. The Judge seemed to agree, questioning if Adidas can control any three vertical lines. He hinted Adidas may need to refile, being much more specific. πŸ”„πŸ©Ή
