NIKE VS. VAN HALEN

ELVH believes that the design of certain Nike Dunk Low styles infringe on the copyright the company holds for the red-white-and-black-striped pattern Van Halen made famous on his “Frankenstein” guitar and for which the musician has held the copyright since 2001.

In a statement provided to FN by a brand spokesperson, Nike said it was aware of the lawsuit but did not believe it to have meaning. “Based on the information provided to us, we have not infringed on any rights held by Mr. Van Halen,” it said. “Nike’s Dunk shoe design is not substantially similar to any of the Van Halen designs, and Nike has not referenced the ‘Van Halen’ name or image as part of any marketing campaign or promotional material associated with the shoe.”

I hope Nike comes out on top, but what’s your thoughts?
