Nike, the world's largest sporting goods company, recently announced that it had paid 3, pounds in compensation to the Hackney Council in London, England for trademark infringement.

The Council of London Hackney Autonomous Region claimed that Nike used Hackney's name and logo pattern on a series of sportswear without permission, which constituted infringement of the Council logo, so it filed a lawsuit. Haneke logo has been used since 196s, and it contains a green, dumbbell-shaped "H".

According to the sales of this series of infringing sportswear sold by Nike, the Hackney Parliament finally won 3, pounds in compensation. It is reported that the compensation will be used to improve sports facilities for the community.

The green dumbbell-shaped "H" logo has been used in Hackney's uniform clothes, cars and even furniture for more than 4 years. Hackney Marsh Park is the favorite place for amateur football lovers in Britain. Later, Nike made an advertisement for "Parklife" in the park. In the advertisement, the logo on Nike's T-shirt was indeed quite similar to the Hackney logo.

Nike spokesman Brooks said: "The Hackney Parliament has reached a mutually satisfactory understanding with Nike. Nike's series of products are to promote the tradition of amateur football lovers and the culture of Hackney Marsh Park. However, we inadvertently used the pattern containing the logo of the Hackney Parliament, which was only out of goodwill and not intentional. "

Grant, the legal adviser to the Hackney Parliament, believes that this case shows that public organizations should also fight for their rights.
