As of 2017, which shoe company in the United States of America had recently won an IPR dispute against China for using their logo?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

The correct choice is: “New Balance”

New Balance, the US sports-shoe maker, won a trademark (intellectual property rights) case in a Chinese court against Chinese shoe manufacturers who had copied its distinctive slanted “N” logo. The court awarded it damages of about 10 million yuan (roughly US$1.5 million), then one of the largest awards to a foreign company in a Chinese trademark case. “Adidas” is German, and “Reebok” was owned by Adidas; neither was the company in this dispute.
