Judge Rejects Nike Dismissal Attempt in Sports Bra Patent Row

In recent legal developments, a Massachusetts federal judge has quashed Nike’s attempt to dismiss aspects of a lawsuit against them by a small, women-led lingerie company. The smaller firm has alleged that the sports clothing titan has infringed upon their patented sports bra design, which integrates useful pockets into the garment.

The judge presiding over the case went on to caution representatives of Nike, advising them to abstain from conducting their legal defense in a manner that could be deemed in bad faith.
