An injunction was previously granted to Nike without prior notice to adidas on August 28, 2012. Back then, the Court did not have the opportunity to hear adidas' side of the story. Within days of adidas filing its case, the Court ordered the injunction effect to be lifted, and has now set it aside altogether.

adidas vigorously denies it has infringed the patent, and has filed for cancellation of the patent, with documents showing that the technology has been known since the 1940s.
