Sideout Sport Sues Nike: The small Pasadena-based sportswear firm said it filed a trademark infringement suit against the nation’s No. 1 sneaker marketer. The suit, filed in federal court in Los Angeles, seeks $10 million in damages and accuses Nike of infringing on Sideout’s name and logo with its Side 1 sneakers and footwear. A Nike spokeswoman declined to comment directly on the suit, saying that her company has not seen it. She added, however, that “we don’t think consumers are confused at all” about which brand is which.
