Nike also is asking the court to transfer the case to federal court in Oregon, saying its contract with Leonard required any dispute arising from it to be litigated here. Nike is now alleging copyright infringement and breach of contract against Leonard, who led the Toronto Raptors to the NBA championship and then signed with the LA Clippers. The company accuses Leonard of "reproducing'' its claw design on non-Nike apparel during the NBA finals in violation of Nike's exclusive copyright. "The Contract sets forth in clear and unambiguous terms Leonard's acknowledgement of NIKE's ownership of all intellectual property created in connection with the Contract, regardless as to whether that intellectual property is created by Leonard or by NIKE,'' the lawyers wrote. Leonard's suit alleges that Nike, without Leonard's knowledge, filed for copyright registration of his logo and falsely represented in its application that Nike had authored it.
