Rickenbacker Shoes

Adidas trademarked three stripes? Damn that's a whole lot of sewing for the military.
Well, as it turns out, the military seamstress corp is safe. :) Out of curiosity I Googled it, and apparently adidas lost their existing Three Stripe Patent Right approval in a 2019 EU court ruling. (Don't know how that works for the U.S. stuff?). It appears the challenge to the Patent did in fact relate to "three stripes in any direction".

So I guess no Ric infringement! Not fake, not fake! Where can I order my pair? :laugh::)

Mr. Hall, I hope you are enjoying your retirement, but with all due respect, this is just funny to me:

"You guys talk like I’m not here. Never mind I’ve been retired for some time and haven’t even been to the US coming up on two years."

Maybe, it's just me . . . . . well anyway, all the best wherever you are, and good on you for Ric's continuing success.
