POLY LOGO IN DISPUTE
THE NEWLY BRANDED Poly, the company formed from
Plantronics and Polycom, is believed to be using
Performance Designed Products LLC’s logo, according to
a public statement released by PDP Gaming, a company
within Performance Designed Products.
PDP stated “We were surprised and disappointed this
week to see our logo being used in the rebranding of audio
headset maker Plantronics to the newly named “Poly”
after their acquisition of Polycom.”
Performance Designed Products LLC, a video
game accessory company, filed a formal complaint of
trademark infringement in the U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of California last month.
PDP’s logo had been in development since March 2018
and was used publicly in marketing materials and on
product packaging starting in October 2018, according to
the statement.
