In this week’s episode of The Briefing by The IP Law Blog, attorneys Scott Hervey and Josh Escovedo discuss the trademark litigation between Nike and a custom shoe maker, MSCHF (pronounced “Mischief”).

The shoes were tied into marketing by Rapper Lil Nas X, and all 666 pairs created by MSCHF were sold.
