Example
The company, owned by Nike Inc., on Tuesday filed separate suits in Federal District Court for the Eastern District of New York against 31 manufacturers and retailers alleging that they had infringed on its Chuck Taylor sneaker design. Separately, it requested the U.S. International Trade Commission begin an investigation into the allegedly illegal importation or sale of products bearing its marks. The 31 defendants in the cases include footwear competitors such as Skechers, Fila and Aldo Group; fashion names such as Ralph Lauren, Tory Burch and Kitson, and retailers such as H&M, Kmart and Zulily. The defendants are accused of trademark infringement, false designation of origin, unfair competition, trademark dilution and unfair business practices. (Karr 2014)
