  "account": "Adidas has filed a lawsuit against Australian online label White Fox, accusing it of trademark infringement over its use of four stripes on clothing. White Fox's products, popular among teenagers and young adults in Australia and the US, feature a logo with four stripes, which Adidas claims is similar to its own three-stripe trademark. Adidas is seeking to stop White Fox from selling the products, as well as damages and profits made from the sales. The case is set to go to trial in early 2027.",
  "summary": "The sports goods company from Herzogenaurach is accusing the online label White Fox from Sydney of infringing its three-stripe brand. The company collected evidence at bus stops and in the web shop.",
