Nike is suing customizer Dominic Ciambrone, also known as the Shoe Surgeon, for trademark infringement. Ciambrone has been creating custom designs using classic Nike sneakers for years, but Nike alleges that he has now become involved in a widespread infringement operation. Nike's legal crackdown on customizers and designers comes at a time when the company is facing challenges in its business, including stagnant sales growth and competition from upstart brands. Nike has also been going after independent designers for trademark infringement, even when their products don't feature Nike's logos. [Extracted from the article] |
