In a recent twist in the ongoing trademark case between Adidas and fashion brand Thom Browne, a Second Circuit panel expressed doubts regarding Adidas’ appeal. Adidas argues that inappropriate jury instructions were given by a district judge in Manhattan, which led to their trademark infringement claims being dismissed.
Reports suggest that the panel was unconvinced by Adidas’ arguments, hinting toward a belief that the lower court conducted its proceedings justly and set out the issues appropriately. The jury had previously denied Adidas’ claims against Thom Browne.
The case, closely watched by legal professionals worldwide, remains in progress, with prying eyes waiting to see the resolution of this trademark dispute among giants. As the appeal unfolds, the decisions made could have significant implications for similar cases, particularly those at the intersection of fashion and sportswear.
