Woods Faces Another Lawsuit
Puma Sunday Red Logo Trademark Infringement Lawsuit
Legal Battle with Cooling System Company Tigerair
The "Golf Emperor" Tiger Woods (USA) has been sued again.
On the 8th (local time), the American golf media Golf Digest reported, "German sports brand company Puma has filed a lawsuit against Woods' 'Sunday Red' logo." Sunday Red is a golf apparel brand launched last year by Woods in collaboration with TaylorMade after ending his sponsorship contract with Nike.
Puma stated, "Woods' Sunday Red logo is too similar to the company logo that has been used since 1969," and argued, "This golf brand owned by TaylorMade should not use the proposed trademark." They added, "The logos are similar, and the product and service fields overlap," expressing concern about the possibility of consumer confusion.

This case is currently under court review.
