Mirjam Poterbin in legal battle against son Luka Doncic

Mirjam Poterbin finds herself in a legal battle against her son. Luka has filed a petition to cancel the trademark of his name, "Luka Doncic 7," currently owned by his mom. Doncic's application to file another mark under his name, "Luka Doncic 77," has been denied.

An examiner considers Doncic's application to file his trademark could cause consumer confusion due to the mark his mom owns. His case to cancel the registration of the mark is based on the fact that "upon information and belief," his mother does not use the logo in the US. Nor is she showing any intent to resume the use of the logo. Doncic also cites that he has no association with the mark anymore.

Meanwhile, Mirjam Poterbin recently retaliated by filing a motion to dismiss her son's petition. Doncic was young and relied on his mother to make business decisions for him when the trademark got filed and registered in 2018. He had given written consent to his mother to handle the use of the mark on goods and services.

Poterbin also asserts that the Mavericks superstar admitted to the same. Poterbin said that Luka admitted that she provided long-term assistance to him regarding business affairs related to the line of goods and services associated with the "Luka Doncic 7" mark.

Who is Luka Doncic's father and where is he?

Luka Doncic has proven himself to be a superstar in the NBA only five seasons into his career. His rise to stardom was fueled by unbelievable highlights and performances under pressure. In 2018, when the Slovenian 19-year-old entered the league, his mother accompanied him in the events, but his father was nowhere to be seen.

Luka Doncic’s father, Sasa Doncic, is a coach back in Slovenia and played a huge role in Luka’s love for the sport. Sasa Doncic is coaching the "Košarkarski klub Ilirija" back in Slovenia and has a good relationship with his son. Although Mirjam Poterbin, Luka’s mother, and Sasa are divorced, that hasn’t affected the NBA star's relationship with either parent.
