on Wednesday reversed course and said it was withdrawing a request to the U.S. Trademark Office to reject a Black Lives Matter application for a trademark featuring three parallel stripes.
It sought to block the group's application to use the design on goods that the German sportswear maker also sells, such as shirts, hats and bags. Adidas said in the filing it has been using its logo since as early as 1952, and that it has acquired "international fame and tremendous public recognition."
The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation is the most prominent entity in the decentralized Black Lives Matter movement, which arose a decade ago to protest police violence against Black people.
