Inter Miami CF and the MLS are involved in a legal dispute with Italian giants Inter Milan over the use of the word 'inter.'
David Beckham’s MLS franchise may have to consider changing its name, should it fail to reach a settlement with Inter Milan over its trademark application.
While the full name of Miami’s club is Club Internacional de Futbol Miami, last month the MLS filed an opposition to Inter Milan’s claim. “Inter Milan would attain the right to claim considerable damages in the US if the club can prove that another business has infringed its registered trademark rights. Therefore, Inter Miami would potentially have to consider changing its name.
However, because registered trademark rights are jurisdictional, clubs outside the U.S. would not be impacted by the ruling. Speaking to the Miami Herald earlier this month, Inter Miami co-owner Jorge Mas echoed Beckham's sentiments.
