Expert Solution
Check Mark
Step 1

Shannon has copied the Nike logo for her product. She is manufacturing a copy of Nike Air Cushion withe the branding of Duffy Swoosh.

The trademark and any modification of the trademark is governed by the Lanham Act. The owner of the Nike Logo is Nike and Shannon does not have any right to use the logo in her products which makes it illegal under Lanham Act.

Other acts in the option do not provide protection with respect to logo. 

Federal Trade Commission Act protects the competition, Lindberg act is related to kidnaping hence is not applicable to marketing.
