OT Lawyers who ya got in logo dispute? Kawhi or Nike
Posted on 6/3/19 at 8:38 pm

Argument is Kawhi creates logo of his large hand while in college and rookie season. Allows Nike to use while he is a Nike client but Nike files for patent. Nike now forbidding Kawhi to use presumably because he left Nike. Lawsuit was filed this week.

"In 2011, just after being drafted to the National Basketball Association, Kawhi Leonard authored a unique logo that included elements that were meaningful and unique to him," the lawsuit reads. "Leonard traced his notably large hand, and, inside the hand, drew stylized versions of his initials 'KL' and the number that he had worn for much of his career, '2.' The drawing Leonard authored was an extension and continuation of drawings he had been creating since early in his college career. "Several years later, as part of an endorsement deal with Nike, Leonard allowed Nike to use on certain merchandise the logo he created while Leonard continued to use the logo on non-Nike goods. Unbeknownst to Leonard and without his consent, Nike filed an application for copyright registration of his logo and falsely represented in the application that Nike had authored the logo."

It'd work better if he didn't have an index finger.

Balmer is reportedly trying to buy the logo from Nike as good faith to sign Kawhi.

According to the New York Times' Marc Stein, the Clippers have "quietly looked into ... purchasing the rights to Leonard's 'Klaw' logo," which is owned by Nike.

I've been familiar with that logo for over 6 years and I never picked up on that until you said it just now

Holy tampering Batman.
Hopefully they let it slide due to the creativity.

Interesting. I think Federer recently got his back, but had to wait for a while after leaving Nike. I guess he has good lawyers.

95% of logos that include people’s initials are horrible.

Truth. What are some ones that are actually good? Durant's is terrible.
Maybe Tiger Woods?
