A legal dispute that has captured the attention of the Fourth Circuit involves a North Carolina charter school and two of its former teachers. The controversy centers on allegations that the teachers misappropriated a trademarked dance team name and exploited images of the school’s team to mislead and coerce parents. During courtroom proceedings on Tuesday, legal counsel for the school drew an analogy to one of Major League Baseball’s most intense rivalries to help elucidate their claims.
