Another day, another legal issue! A Bronx artist by the name of Dr. François De Cassagnol states that he owns the trademark rights to the team’s name. He mentions that he trademarked the name 10 years ago for his commercial art business while he was living in Louisiana. The artist filed the law suit back in December in Brooklyn Federal Court, saying that he is owned at least $600 million in damages.

According to the NYDailyNews,
In the suit, he claims he had conversations with team officials who promised him they wouldn’t use the name “Brooklyn Nets” upon moving to their new home by Atlantic Ave. two years ago.

Developer Bruce Ratner and former minority owner Jay Z “fraudulently conspired” with the NBA by constructing legal “loopholes” in court in order to use the name, De Cassagnol alleges in the complaint. He does not name Mikhail Prokhorov, the team’s Russian owner, in the complaint.
To the Brooklyn Nets legal team, this law suit is a complete joke and will have no case in court. Apparently this is not his first time bringing a case against the Nets team. Back in 2012, he filed a complaint with the U.S. Patent and Trademarks Office with a similar case but it was quickly thrown out and ruled in favor of the NBA.
Sadly, I don’t think this case will make it far…He has a better chance of playing for the Brooklyn Nets.
