The USOPC had previously contacted Prime about the alleged infringement, but Prime has continued to use the trademarks. The USOPC has signed a licensing agreement with Coca-Cola for the upcoming Paris Olympics, and it argues that Prime's use of the trademarks impinges upon the rights of significant sponsors.
