Nike Triumphs in Trademark Dispute: A Spanish court ruled in favor of the athletic apparel maker in a dispute it had with a lawyer who claimed he owned the Nike name. The ruling lifts an injunction that had prevented Beaverton, Ore.-based Nike Inc. from selling its apparel in Spain since March, 1991. The injunction, in place since a court ruled in favor Juan Amigo Freixas, who bought the Nike name from a man who briefly made socks during the 1930s, was lifted because of lack of use of the 60-year-old trademark.
