Sportswear company previously claimed that BLM's three-stripe design too closely resembled its own iconic logo.
Adidas is withdrawing its request that the U.S. Trademark Office reject an application by Black Lives Matter to trademark a design featuring three parallel stripes.
The request, filed Monday, claimed that the three-stripe design the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation intended to use could lead people to confuse it with Adidas' signature logo. The sportswear giant has used the parallel stripe logo for more than 70 years, the company noted in the filing. Just 48-hours later, however, Adidas said it had reversed course.
"Adidas will withdraw its opposition to the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation's trademark application as soon as possible," the German athletic gear company said in a statement, without offering further details on its change of heart.
