Nike also sent a cease and desist letter to Swoosh Supplied last May according to the shop's website.
THE US BASED sportswear giant Nike has filed legal action against a 16-year-old business owner running a sneaker consignment store in Dublin’s city centre.
The company began legal proceedings on Thursday through Nike Innovate C.V, the section of Nike which holds its patents and trademarks. The solicitor’s letter ordered Swoosh Supplied to cease using the Swoosh name and to “immediately assign and transfer control of the domain name www.swoosh.ie to Nike.”
Nike’s ‘Swoosh’ logo was designed by a student at the University of Portland in 1971 for $35 dollars, the equivalent of $256 or €235 today.
