A Manhattan jury on Thursday said Adidas AG had failed to show luxury brand Thom Browne Inc’s use of stripes on its clothing infringed the sportswear giant’s signature three-stripe trademark.
The jury found the fashion house’s parallel stripe designs were not likely to cause consumer confusion with Adidas’ products, ending a trial that began Jan. 3. Thom Browne had argued that, among other things, its designs have a different number of stripes.
An Adidas spokesperson said in an email that the company was disappointed with the verdict but will “continue to vigilantly enforce our intellectual property, including filing any appropriate appeals.
