 After the launch of the clothing line, A.K.O.O faced a lawsuit from Akoo International, a social Music TV Network established years before the clothing line, for trademark infringement.The world’s largest online social music television site had been using the trademarked name since 2004 and thought the infringement would mislead, confuse and deceive potential customers and clients.In March 2010 numerous calls were made to the CBS Outdoor office complaining that the A.K.O.O billboard in Newark, New Jersey was too sexually suggestive.
