I caught up with Quiksilver spokesman Joshua Katz yesterday to get the company’s reaction to ESPN’s recently filed lawsuit against Quiksilver. ESPN claims Quiksilver infringed on its X Games trademarks by making clothing with an X on it.

Quiksilver and its skate company DC Shoes have previously sponsored the X Games.

Bloomberg News reported Quiksilver uses a stylized "X" emblem on clothing, labels and accessories that is "confusingly similar" to ESPN's logo for the series of surfing and biking contests, according to the lawsuit filed this month in federal court in New York.
