A Vancouver court has granted a temporary injunction against Adidas Canada’s use of the name “Terrex” for its Kitsilano store, following a trademark infringement case initiated by outdoor gear and apparel store Arc’Teryx. The court ruled that the use of the name was too close to Arc’Teryx’s own trademarked name, potentially causing confusion. The injunction restricts Adidas from using the name for the Kitsilano store until the trademark infringement suit goes to trial. While Arc’Teryx sought an injunction against Adidas’ use of “Terrex” on all retail outlets, the court limited it to the specific Kitsilano location.
