The Chicago Cubs filed a lawsuit for trademark infringement on June 18 in Illinois Northern District Court. The lawsuit, filed by Kirkland & Ellis, targets Wrigley View Rooftop, a rooftop venue that advertises 'unobstructed views of the center field' and Aidan Dunican. The suit accuses the defendants of using the Cubs' intellectual property by self-identifying as an 'Official Cubs Partner' and promoting the venue as 'officially endorsed by the Chicago Cubs,' when in fact the license they had paid for 20-years for the right to do so expired and they did not renew it. The case is 1:24-cv-05086, Chicago Cubs Baseball Club, LLC.
