adidas are set to kick off another lawsuit after claims that the fifth largest specialty retailer in the United States, Forever 21 is using the Three-Stripe trademark that adidas has built its empire on. Just a few months ago, the feud with designer brand Marc Jacobs began after they released a line of sweatshirts that shared an uncanny resemblance to the adidas’s go-to Three-Stripe Mark, and now Forever 21 have done the same thing.

The federal lawsuit from adidas states that it owns “incontestable federal trademark registrations” for the design and Forever 21 is “designing, sourcing, manufacturing, distributing, marketing, promoting, offering for sale, and/or selling apparel bearing identical and/or confusingly similar imitations of adidas’ Three-Stripe Mark”.

The adidas lawyers believe that this will “cause confusion, deceive the public regarding its source, and dilute and tarnish the distinctive quality of adidas’ Three-Stripe Mark.” adidas has asked the judge that Forever 21 stop all production of the products and cease its distribution, marketing or sale, along with monetary compensation.
