The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit vacated a nearly $5 million attorney fee award in favor of a small Pennsylvania-based athletic clothing brand that accused Nike of trademark infringement over its “Cool Compression” trademark.
In a July 10 opinion, authored by Third Circuit Judge Thomas Hardiman, the court vacated a $5 million attorney fee award in favor of the company, Lontex, after a jury awarded the company over $500,000 in compensatory and punitive damages in its suit against Nike and its use of the phrase ”Cool Compression.”
