U.S. District Court, District of Oregon

An Oregon federal court partially dismissed adidas’s trademark infringement claims, holding that plaintiffs must identify which specific registered marks are infringed rather than pleading a ‘unitary branding device’ across multiple registrations.

An Oregon federal judge denied Columbia University’s motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction and denied its motion to transfer, allowing Columbia Sportswear’s trademark infringement and breach-of-coexistence-agreement claims to proceed in Oregon.
