Nike, Inc. V. Stockx Llc

Nike has filed a lawsuit against StockX in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The lawsuit alleges that StockX has been using Nike's trademarks without authorization in connection with its entry into the Non-Fungible Token (NFT) market. StockX has been selling Vault NFTs associated with Nike products at heavily inflated prices to unsuspecting consumers who believe or are likely to believe that those "investible digital assets" are authorized by Nike when they are not. Nike seeks a permanent injunction to stop StockX from continuing to sell Vault NFTs bearing Nike's famous marks. The misappropriation of Nike's famous trademarks and goodwill to buoy StockX's entry into the lucrative NFT and digital collectible market deprives Nike of its exclusive right to use its marks in connection with this new commercial medium.

United States of America v. Robert Hunter Biden

Summary: Hunter Biden is currently embroiled in a lawsuit, accused of purchasing a Colt Cobra revolver in October 2018 while allegedly using illegal substances. Despite denying drug use on the necessary paperwork, if found guilty, he could face a maximum of 25 years in prison along with substantial fines. Biden's defense team contends that the charges are politically driven, asserting that Biden's temporary possession of an unloaded firearm did not constitute a public safety risk. They intend to contest the charges, leveraging an agreement with the prosecution, recent federal court decisions, and potential Second Amendment defenses. This case could potentially ignite wider discussions about Second Amendment rights, especially as the Supreme Court is poised to deliberate on a related issue concerning gun ownership for individuals subject to domestic violence restraining orders. Opinions are divided among political and legislative figures, with some speculating that advocates of the Second Amendment might oppose the law that prohibits gun ownership for drug users.
