Everyone knows Adidas’s famous three parallel stripes logo, including US fashion designer Thom Browne. Despite this, Browne introduced a parallel stripes motif in his designs. In 2021, Adidas sued him for breaching its intellectual property rights. Last month, a Manhattan jury found Thom Browne did not commit trademark infringement and that Adidas would have to make do with ownership of only the three-stripe design.

The Israeli Supreme Court overturned a district court ruling and stated the court erred when it attributed internationality to the Israeli trademark “Schweppes” and associated it with a global venture.
