It should be recalled that Adidas recently filed a lawsuit against its American competitor, Nike over what it considers an infringement on 9 of its patents, including those related to the Adidas_1 sneaker and its sneaker reservation app, Confirmed.
In the lawsuit, Adidas is focusing largely on Nike’s ‘Adapt’ technology, the company’s dive into “smart” footwear. Adapt is an electronically-enabled platform that automatically customizes the fit of a sneaker to the wearer’s foot.
