US district court denies NCAA request to restrict DraftKings trademark use
The US District Court for the Southern District of Indiana denied the NCAA’s request for a temporary restraining order that would have stopped DraftKings using March Madness and related trademarks during the lawsuit. The court said the NCAA had not established likely irreparable harm, while leaving open the possibility of a later preliminary or permanent injunction after further discovery.
DraftKings can continue using the disputed terms for now, while the NCAA’s trademark claims remain pending.
