Hapoel Tel Aviv, the professional basketball club, has sent a pre-lawsuit notice to the Hapoel Osishkin association, demanding they immediately cease using the name and symbol "Hapoel Tel Aviv" for their adult team.
The notice cites a 2023 agreement where Hapoel Osishkin transferred all rights to its adult team's activities, including intangible assets like the name and symbol, to Hapoel Tel Aviv as a "going concern," free of debt. Hapoel Tel Aviv asserts that all intangible assets related to its adult basketball team exclusively belong to the company.
According to the notice, Hapoel Tel Aviv learned that Hapoel Uri, a team competing in the National League, is using the Hapoel Tel Aviv name and symbols, presenting itself as the adult basketball team of the Hapoel Tel Aviv club. This usage is deemed a violation of Hapoel Tel Aviv's property rights and a breach of the agreements between the parties.
Hapoel Tel Aviv has given Hapoel Osishkin three days from receiving the notice, and before Hapoel Uri's next league game, to confirm in writing that they will stop all use of the "Hapoel Tel Aviv" name, symbol, or any intellectual property of the adult team within the framework of Hapoel Uri. They must also remove these from uniforms, websites, social media pages, league registrations, and publications.
