Nike Challenges Shenzhen Seaskin Over Trademark Resembling Iconic Swoosh

On March 6, Nike filed an opposition against Shenzhen Seaskin Sports Goods Co., alleging that the company’s figurative trademark for diving and sportswear equipment bears a striking resemblance to Nike’s well-known Swoosh logo. The disputed mark, covering products such as diving suits, goggles, life vests, surf wear, and triathlon clothing, has drawn scrutiny from Nike, which argues that its widely recognized logo spans multiple product categories and enjoys strong brand protection. Nike’s opposition underscores the company’s commitment to safeguarding its intellectual property and preventing consumer confusion in the marketplace.
