Another Broker Agrees to POA Validation Requirements in Trademark Settlement With Nike
March 16, 2017 by Brian Feito|Top News

Another customs broker recently agreed to additional requirements for validation of powers of attorney as part of a settlement of a trademark lawsuit with Nike. Like the recent settlement between Nike and Alto Customhouse Brokers (see 1702140037), a settlement reached in December in Los Angeles federal court between Nike and KAL America requires the customs brokerage to validate all new powers of attorney it receives from importers by means of notarization, phone calls and checking government-issued IDs. The settlement ends one of the few remaining of a series of trademark cases brought by Nike against customs brokers. Nike has over time moved away from the practice, according to customs lawyers familiar with the issue.
