The brand is the entire point of the company. How many cheap knockoffs of North Face fleeces are there? Any competitive advantage he has is that his brand is poking fun at The North Face's brand.
If he wants to stay in business, changing his brand to something vanilla is probably the worst thing he could do.
- ErrantX 17y agoAgreed. However Im sure a smart entrepeneur could come up with a logo that rides off the back of the "infamy"/publicity but doesn't leave him in court. I cant see that the smart approach is to let them litigate... the comparative size of the companies means it is incredibly risky.
