I’m not clear what the case against Nike was. Zhu did not create stick men. He wasn’t even the first to publish “stick fight” videos. He filed a trademark of some sort but you can’t take ownership over an entire class of art based on a trademark. Disney can stop me from using Mickey Mouse in my ads. They can’t stop me from animating a mouse.
