Victor Wembanyama Sues Austin Man for Unauthorized Use of NIL

The NBA star accuses James T. Glodich of profiting from his name and likeness without permission.

Wembanyama filed a federal lawsuit against James T. Glodich for using his name, image, and likeness (NIL) on merchandise.
Glodich attempted to trademark terms like 'El Wemby' and 'Wemby’s World', which the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office rejected.
The lawsuit seeks financial damages and an injunction to stop Glodich from using Wembanyama's NIL.
Wembanyama claims the unauthorized use has diminished the value of his NIL and violated his privacy rights.
Glodich has not responded to legal demands or comments on the lawsuit, and the website selling the merchandise is currently inactive.
