New York Knicks send Mamdani campaign a cease and desist letter
The Knicks sent the Zohran Mamdani campaign a cease and desist letter to stop using a graphic in their campaign ad, calling it a trademark infringement.
The team does "not endorse Mr. Mamdani for Mayor" and the ad is "likely to mislead the public into believing that the Campaign is affiliated with, sponsored or endorsed by, or in some way connected with the Knicks."
They said in a statement:
"The NY Knicks have sent NYC Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a cease-and-desist letter for using the NY Knicks logo to promote his candidacy. The Knicks want to make it clear that we do not endorse Mr. Mamdani for Mayor, and we object to his use of our copyrighted logo. We will pursue all legal remedies to enforce our rights."
