Darryl McDaniels, DMC of pioneering hip-hop group RUN-DMC, filed a trademark lawsuit against Amazon, Walmart, Jet.com, and their business partners for selling illegitimate Run-DMC merchandise, including shirts, patches, wallets, hats and glasses. Amazon itself has filed a lawsuit in Washington against sellers of allegedly counterfeit products on its own platform [in a related story, Apple said that around 90 percent of "genuine" Apple products being sold on Amazon were fake in a separate lawsuit]. According to McDaniels, "The products sold by the Defendants confuse the public as to the source of the products and suggests that RUN-DMC endorses the products," the lawsuit complaint alleges. "The Defendants are trading on the goodwill of [RUN-DMC]."
