Nike Takes Legal Action Against New Balance and Skechers for Patent Infringement

Nike is taking legal action against New Balance and Skechers for allegedly infringing on its patented sneaker technology. The lawsuits claim that both companies have misused Nike’s ‘Flyknit’ technology in their athletic shoes. Nike has previously filed similar lawsuits against Adidas, Puma, and Lululemon. The lawsuits seek monetary damages and court orders to prevent further infringement. Nike’s Flyknit technology uses high-strength fibers to create lightweight uppers with targeted support, stretch, and breathability. The company claims that this technology allows for high-performance sneakers with reduced materials and waste.
