Monetizing self-infatuation.
Turkish Super League leader Galatasaray’s midfielder Selçuk İnan
has sued technology giant Samsung for using his registered logo
“S8” as the brand name for its latest handset. The Turkish
international footballer has demanded 100,000 Turkish Liras,
roughly $25,400, in compensation from the South Korean
conglomerate. İnan had registered his logo “S8” at the Turkish
Copyright Institute (TPE) four years ago, like Cristiano Ronaldo,
who owns the rights for the logo “QR7” or Ricardo Quaresma,
who owns “Q7.” İnan’s close friend, Trabzonspor’s Burak Yılmaz,
holds the rights for “BY17.” “The defendant has not hesitated in
its use of a brand that cannot be differentiated from my client’s
registered brand,” said İnan’s lawyer in a legal complaint,
demanding Samsung stop its new modern Galaxy smartphones
with the “S8” logo on them as a precaution until the law case is
concluded. Samsung unveiled its Galaxy S8, Samsung Galaxy
S8+ and Samsung Galaxy S8 Active on March 2017 to succeed
the Samsung Galaxy S7 and the S7 Edge.
