Penn State University is set to face a jury next week in a significant federal trademark case against Vintage Brand, an unaffiliated sports apparel company. The lawsuit centers on allegations that Vintage Brand has been selling vintage apparel and merchandise that features Penn State imagery without the university's consent. This case has garnered attention from many colleges as it could have implications for the sports merchandise licensing industry. In a separate legal matter, Nike has won a federal infringement case concerning its Air Global sneakers, which were found to closely resemble Air Jordan sneakers. Nike became aware of the Air Globals during a television interview, but the company has yet to demonstrate any damages resulting from the infringement. These developments highlight ongoing legal challenges in the realms of trademark and intellectual property rights within the sports and apparel sectors.
