Jay Z and Roc Nation have been sued for trademark infringement over the use of the Roc Nation logo on new Major League Baseball apparel, TMZ reports. In the complaint obtained by Pitchfork, Iconix Brand Group claims that it acquired the Roc Nation logo as well as “licensing and brand management.” The lawsuit claims that Iconix never consented or authorized the Roc Nation logo’s use in a series of New Era baseball hats featuring various Major League Baseball logos. New Era, Lids (who sell and promote the hats), MLB, and the Giants are listed as defendants alongside Jay Z and Roc Nation. Find the full complaint below. Pitchfork has reached out to Jay Z and Roc Nation’s representatives for comment. Last year, Jay Z and Damon Dash won a lawsuit regarding the Roc-a-Fella logo.
