  • Nike Triumphs in EUIPO Case Protecting Its Swoosh Against Chinese Rival


    Nike Triumphs in EUIPO Case Protecting Its Swoosh Against Chinese Rival

    The EUIPO has ruled in favour of Nike in a trademark dispute against China’s Quanzhou Suhan Trading Co., rejecting the latter’s application for a curved 'Rane Sports' logo deemed to exploit the reputation of Nike’s world-famous Swoosh. The opposition division found that even though the designs were oriented in opposite directions, the similarity of their abstract curved shapes and the identity of goods — notably clothing, footwear, and headgear — could mislead consumers and unfairly benefit from Nike’s global prestige. Nike’s evidence, including Interbrand and Kantar rankings, athlete endorsements by Cristiano Ronaldo and Serena Williams, and sales data across Europe, demonstrated that the Swoosh enjoys an "exceptionally strong reputation". The ruling, which applies under Article 8(5) EUTMR, reinforces EUIPO’s consistent protection of marks with global recognition, affirming Nike’s dominance in the sportswear sector and the enduring legal power of its minimalist logo.

  • Instagram Wins WIPO Battle Over 'Buy Followers' Domain Network


    Instagram Wins WIPO Battle Over 'Buy Followers' Domain Network

    Instagram has prevailed in a WIPO arbitration case against a UK-based registrant who owned 15 domain names such as buyinstagramfollowersbrazil.com and buykoreaninstagramfollowers.com, which were found to exploit the platform’s global brand. The panel ruled that the domains, registered in early 2025, were "confusingly similar" to Instagram’s trademark and constituted bad-faith use aimed at profiting from the social network’s reputation. The decision orders all domains transferred to Instagram’s control. The ruling reinforces Meta’s aggressive stance against digital impersonation and brand abuse as Instagram continues to dominate the social media landscape, boasting over two billion monthly users globally. Despite competition from TikTok, the platform remains a cornerstone for advertisers and creators—though it still faces scrutiny over data privacy and youth engagement across the EU and UK.
