Nike Sues for Trademark Infringement

May 8, 2023

Nike Claims Counterfeiting and Trademark Infringement by E-Commerce Sellers

You may be asking yourself, “What is happening?” Principally, Nike has filed a suit against multiple parties claiming trademark infringement and counterfeiting. Above all, if you are a named defendant, this will likely negatively affect your daily online business dealings due to the Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) levied against your accounts. It goes without saying, if you are incapable of accessing your e-commerce accounts, you cannot get your money! 

Case No. 23-cv-02541: Responding to the Temporary Restraining Order: Nike Sues for Trademark Infringement

Although the claims may not be true, that does not mean you will benefit by ignoring the notice sent to you. In a word, Nike is saying sellers on Amazon, Alibaba, Wish.com, Etsy, DHgate, eBay, AliExpress, and Walmart are purposefully masking their identities so as to hock counterfeit goods. Furthermore, the notice faults the e-commerce platforms themselves for not properly vetting sellers. Thus, allegedly, Nike filed the action to ensure US consumers are not buying trademark infringing footwear and apparel. Basically, it is imperative that you provide a response to the suit filed by Nike! If you do not submit a response, you may find yourself dealing with a default judgment. Totally avoidable!
