? As the Premier League kicks off this month, a staggering statistic emerges: fake shirts are now worth a whopping $230 million annually, equating to over a third of the entire market! This surge in counterfeit merchandise is a clear sign of the enduring popularity of the league but also highlights the significant challenge brands face in protecting their IP and revenue. For clubs, sponsors, and legitimate manufacturers, it’s a wake-up call to strengthen strategies against counterfeit goods, which not only dilute brand value but also mislead loyal fans. How do we tackle this growing issue? Through a mix of legal enforcement, technological innovation, and consumer awareness, we can ensure that fans wear their club’s colors with pride—knowing they’ve got the real deal. ???

The lawsuits allege the companies used player names and imaging on their betting platforms despite not having a license to do so. The MLBPA also argues that the use of player names and images could imply their endorsement of sports betting or of the platforms. The MLBPA has requested a jury trial. #mlb #sportslaw #sportslawyer #businesslaw #businesslawyer #businessnews

The NFL Draft had some surprises this year... One of them being the number of trademarks filed by the top picks. Almost half of the Top 10 picks already have trademarks filed with the USPTO. As NIL picks up steam, more athletes than ever before are seeking the protection of nicknames and logos while they are still in college. This is a great business strategy. As I tell clients all the time... filing trademarks as early as possible saves money. The filing date of a trademark application secures a federal priority date in your name, logo,or slogan. This can prevent costly legal battles downstream. #trademarks #nfldraft #brandprotection

?? Case Summary: Fanatics vs. Marvin Harrison Jr. & Sr. In a lawsuit filed by Fanatics against Arizona Cardinals Football Club rookie Marvin Harrison Jr. and his father, Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison Sr., the company alleges breach of contract and fraud related to a 2023 agreement. While Fanatics claims that Harrison Jr. failed to fulfill his obligations under the contract, the material terms of the so-called “Binding Term Sheet” have been redacted in the public filings. A “Binding Term Sheet” is typically used to outline the initial terms of a potential deal, with the understanding that a final, full contract will be negotiated and signed later. So why withhold key details if you’ve been wronged? ?? It’s difficult to assess the merits of this case without access to the full information. Transparency is crucial, especially in high-stakes legal battles involving public figures.
