WIPR - BBF sues Nike, Footlocker over ‘Endless Summer’ TM
The filmmaker behind 1966 surf documentary “The Endless Summer” has accused sportswear brands Footlocker and Nike of infringing the filmmaker’s trademarks through a marketing campaign the two ran last year.
Bruce Brown Films, which manages the merchandising and licensing of the film’s IP and was formed by documentary maker Bruce Brown, claimed that Footlocker’s Champs stores and Nike used the ‘Endless Summer’ trademark to promote Nike shoes across all 529 Champs stores and online.
