According to the lawsuit, the company has repeatedly used “Olympic-related terminology and trademarks” in its product packaging and in online advertising campaigns with Kevin Durant. The phrases include “Olympic,” “Olympian,” “Team USA,” and Going for Gold,” according to the lawsuit.
Advertising copy included in the lawsuit for various PRIME products show repeated references to phrases such as “Kevin Durant Olympic Prime Drink,” and “Celebrate Greatness with the Kevin Durant Olympic Prime Drink!” along with “Olympic Achievements,” and “Kevin Durant Olympic Legacy.”
