Hero Dojo's Four Stripes Doesn't Infring Adidas's Three Stripes

2014/06/13

Adidas alleged Sanya Hero Dojo's four-stripe logo infringing its registered trademark, the three-stripe. By inspection, the court held that the four-stripe logo didn't infring Adidas, then Adidas dropped the case.


Adidas claims that the four-stripe logo used on the sport shoes by Sanya Hero Dojo was suspected of infringing its registered trademark, the three-stripe logo. Adidas then brought the case to the Sanya Intermediate People's Court for ceasing infringement and seeking  50,000 Yuan in damages.


The court held that the logo Sanya Dojo used on their shoes products was different from Adidas's three stripes. Besides, Sanya Dojo has printed Chinese character "道" and the Taiji figure on their products for taekwondo students. The public would not get confused by the logo. No similarity is constituted.


Adidas then withdraw the case.
