Volcom reportedly filed a trademark infringement lawsuit in the Central District of California on March 29, 2011 against Jay-Z’s Roc Nation brand, according to a story on All Hip Hop.
According to the complaint, Roc Nation’s logo is too close to their own, which they have been using in trade since 1991. . . Additionally, Volcom claims the logo could create confusion in the marketplace, since their label Volcom Entertainment, also uses a similar, registered trademark. . . “While Roc Nation appears to have initially used the diamond only in combination with the words ‘Roc Nation’ it is now using the diamond logo on its own, causing a likelihood of confusion among consumers,” Volcom’s complaint reads.
Can you tell the difference?
