Adidas and Nike are expensive sports brand giants, and their competitive relationship with each other is well known. After Nike sued adidas “Primeknit” technology for infringing its own “Flyknit” technology last year, adidas recently filed a lawsuit with the court, accusing Nike of infringing as much as 9 patents.
According to reports, adidas sued the federal court on June 10 against Nike’s apps SNKRS, Run Club, Training Club, etc., for damaging some of the brand’s special patents for functions and marketing methods. In addition, it also pointed out that the Nike Adapt series of shoes infringed on the adidas_1 shoes launched by the company in 2005, saying that it was “the first smart running shoes that can sense and adjust the comfort while wearing”. Nike paid the compensation amount, but the actual amount is unclear.
The battle between the two leading brands has now spread from the consumer market to the legal level. As for how the lawsuit will develop in the future, readers may wish to follow HYPEBEAST to get the latest news at any time.
