Nike Leonard's "Big Palm" Argument Is Still Not Identified.

In June 4, 2019, according to ESPN, Toronto Raptors Leonard filed a lawsuit against Nike in the Southern District Court of California on Monday, trying to regain ownership of his own Logo.

The lawsuit wrote: "after 2011 being chosen by NBA, Leonard created a unique Logo, which contains some unique elements which are very meaningful to him.

Leonard took his big hand as a blueprint and incorporated his initials KL and No. 2. This Logo is also a continuation of Leonard's early university writing.

Leonard first appeared in 2014 when Logo first made his AJ 6 sneakers for him.

"I came up with the idea of adding my initials in this Logo." "I drafted a draft and gave it to them. They did it perfectly." "I want to give praise to the brand team, because I am not a designer. They improved it to make it look better than I thought, and I'm very satisfied with the final version. "

However, Nike continues to ferment.

In July 17th, according to the US media CP report, Leonard firmly believed that the Klaw logo was a small card design, and Nike gave the counterattack that they had the right to use the icon, and that when the card was due to expire with the AJ, he could not use it himself! Here is a sensitive question. Who belongs to the right?

In Nike's view, they are the victims of logo infringement. After agreeing with the final design plan of Logo in 2014, Leonard registered the trademark and obtained the effective use right of Nike.

According to the legal documents produced by Nike, they found that Leonard also applied for a registered trademark to the Logo in 2017, which made Nike angry because they thought that the Logo was designed by Nike and Leonard had no right to use it.

Nike acknowledged that in 2011, Leonard, who signed a new contract with Nike, had shared a design draft of Logo with the company.

However, Nike believes that Leonard's version and the later registered trademark Logo contain the athlete's initials KL, but the two are completely different designs.

"Leonard is a designer of ClawLogo, which is distorting facts. The design of Claw was created by Nike's designer team, and it was also approved by Leonard himself. Nike stated in the indictment.

According to Mark stanstein of New York Times, Leonard's new owner, Losangeles express ship, intends to buy the copyright of his Logo. But Nike probably won't agree.
