Attorneys for Giannis Antetokounmpo and Leaf Trading Cards are in negotiations to settle the NBA superstar’s lawsuit against the company over the use of his nickname and likeness.
Antetokounmpo had filed for trademark infringement and dilution over Leaf cards picturing the 2021 Finals MVP and using his trademarked “Greek Freak” nickname.
Lawyers for Antetokounmp and Leaf submitted a joint letter to the judge in the case on Tuesday, saying they were “hopeful a settlement will be reached” in the case before it would go to trial.
If that happens, it’s unlikely the agreement would become part of the public record.
