Adidas sues Wal-Mart over copying allegations
23/06/2008
German sportswear firm adidas had initiated legal proceedings against US retailer Wal-Mart, which it claims has been selling shoes bearing similar markings to the three-stripe adidas trademark.
The application was made in Portland, Oregon, where adidas has its US headquarters. Hearings are set to begin on October 6.
The
company recently won a copyright case in Portland against shoe retailer
Payless ShoeSource, after it started selling shoes with markings deemed
to be similar to the adidas stripes. Adidas was awarded $305 million in
damages.
