Columbia Sportswear sues Columbia University over merch in latest legal battle for Ivy
For decades, T-shirts, sweatshirts and other clothing under the Columbia Sportswear brand and clothing emblazoned with the Columbia University name coexisted more or less peacefully without confusion. But now, the Portland-based outdoor retailer has sued the New York-based university over alleged trademark infringement and a breach of contract, among other charges. It claims that the university's merchandise looks too similar to what's being sold at more than 800 retail locations including more than 150 of its branded stores as well as its website and third-party marketplaces. Columbia Sportswear has filed a lawsuit against Columbia University because the campus's merchandise looks identical to its brand. Columbia Sportswear In a lawsuit filed July 23 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon, Columbia Sportswear, whose roots date back to 1938, alleges that the university intentionally violated an agreement the parties signed on June 13, 2023. That agreement dictated how the university could use the word 'Columbia' on its own apparel. As part of the pact, the university could feature 'Columbia' on its merchandise provided that the name included a recognizable school insignia or its mascot, the word 'university,' the name of the academic department or the founding year of the university — 1754 — or a combination. But Columbia Sportswear alleges the university breached the agreement a little more than a year later, with the company noticing several garments without any of the school logos being sold at the Columbia University online store. Many of the garments feature a bright blue color that is 'confusingly similar' to the blue color that has long been associated with Columbia Sportswear, the suit alleged. The lawsuit details that the Ivy League institution violated an agreement the parties signed on June 13, 2023. Spiroview Inc. – The lawsuit offered photos of some of the Columbia University items that say only Columbia. 'The likelihood of deception, confusion, and mistake engendered by the university's misappropriation and misuse of the Columbia name is causing irreparable harm to the brand and goodwill symbolized by Columbia Sportswear's registered mark Columbia and the reputation for quality it embodies,' the lawsuit alleged. The lawsuit comes at a time when Columbia University has been threatened with the potential loss of billions of dollars in government support. Last week, Columbia University reached a deal with the Trump administration to pay more than $220 million to the federal government to restore federal research money that was canceled in the name of combating antisemitism on campus. Under the agreement, the Ivy League school will pay a $200 million settlement over three years, the university said. Columbia Sportswear aims to stop all sales of clothing that violate the agreement, recall any products already sold and donate any remaining merchandise to charity. Columbia Sportswear is also seeking three times the amount of actual damages determined by a jury. Neither Columbia Sportswear or Columbia University couldn't be immediately reached for comment.

S.F.'s Philz Coffee to be purchased by private equity firm for $145 million
Los Angeles-based private equity firm Freeman Spogli & Co. has made a bid to acquire popular San Francisco-grown coffee chain Philz coffee. The firm has previously invested in food franchises Popeyes and El Pollo Loco, as well as Petco. The value of the pending transaction is $145 million, according to reports to stakeholders obtained by Mission Local, which first reported the deal on Friday. Jacob Jabor, son of Philz founder Phil Jaber, did not respond to an inquiry from the Chronicle. Freeman Spogli could not immediately be reached for comment Friday. The deal is reportedly expected to close on Aug. 8, and stockholders have until Aug. 5 to receive an appraisal of their shares. Other stakeholders in the deal are investment firms Summit Partners and TPG Growth, according to Mission Local. Meanwhile, the company's common stock holders, including employees, are expected to see their stock canceled under the terms of the agreement, the outlet reported. Phil Jabar went from owning a corner store to a venture capital-backed business raising some $75 million in funding, after launching Philz out a storefront at 24th and Folsom streets storefront in the city's Mission District more than two decades ago. That location popularized the company's distinct one-cup-at-a-time pour-over style, which is executed by baristas working at separate stations.
