1319 GMT - Adidas is among the most mentioned companies across news items over the past 12 hours, according to Factiva data after the German sportswear company said it wouldn't oppose the attempt by Black Lives Matter to trademark its logo. Adidas had said in a filing this week to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that the campaign group's proposed use of three stripes was "confusingly similar" to its own. In 2020, the campaign group submitted an application to trademark its logo which contains three parallel yellow lines. Adidas said Wednesday that it will drop its opposition to the BLM logo "as soon as possible," without specifying further. Dow Jones & Co. owns Factiva. (pierre.bertrand@wsj.com)
