Dimopoulous v. National Football League

In this lawsuit, the wildly successful Personal Injury firm, Dimopoulos Law Firm, retained Randazza Legal Group for an intellectual property dispute with the National Football League. 

Dimopoulos used a silver and black color scheme since its founding in 2012, and that color scheme had no relationship to the NFL Raiders, which were not even in Las Vegas when Dimopolous launched his practice. 

The NFL and the now-Las Vegas Raiders accused Dimopoulos of using their trademarks and logos in an advertisement without authorization.

Dimopolous, rather than shrink from the fight, filed a complaint for declaratory relief that his commercial and his color scheme did not infringe the defendants’ trademarks and trade dress. The case was filed under 28 U.S.C. §§ 2201 and 2202.  

After a short fight, the case was settled on terms acceptable to all parties.  

Dimopolous’ logo and color scheme remain as they were since the firm’s inception.
