Nike dropped a fire campaign last week showcasing Colin Kaepernick as the new face of their Just Do It campaign. People went crazy recreating the ad which leads to the question is the recreating of the ad trademark infringement? The top 3 takeaways from today's episode are: 1. Infringement cases are not a one size fits all, they are judged on a case by case basis. Before you use anyone’s mark for anything please consult an attorney for advice on how to proceed. 2. Satire is not a excuse or exception for defamation or slander. You can’t be spreading lies orally or on paper and think that its okay. 3. Using someone else’s mark or something similar to their mark to promote your business is infringement. So if you are anyone you know are using Nike’s campaign to promote your business, you are definitely Off the Mark.
