Black Lives Matter dodges Adidas legal battle, but other brands using striped logos remain targets
"It appears that Adidas pulled this case because of concerns about the negative public relations fallout that could result from litigation against an organization such as Black Lives Matter," Josh Gerben, founding partner of Gerben Perrott PLLC, told Insider in an email.
BLM did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment. An Adidas spokesperson told Insider that it will withdraw its opposition to BLM registering its trademark"as soon as possible."While Adidas' decision to retract its complaint to the USPTO is good news for BLM,"there are so many smaller and less notable companies that will still have to defend similar claims," Gerben said.
