David Beckham "sued by Inter Milan" for his American franchise

Inter Milan would be on the verge of filing lawsuits against David Beckham's American football franchise.

The former English captain worked diligently on the project to set up a new MLS team, Inter Miami.

However, the Italian club would be unhappy with Beckham's use of the word Inter to designate his new club.

Calciomercato says Inter Milan is now preparing to sue Major League Soccer for the case.

They report that the Serie A club has filed a trademark infringement lawsuit to protect the Inter name for themselves.

Now, the Trademark Appeal Tribunal and the appeal board have to make a decision, which will probably go in two ways.

Inter may only be registered by one club and may only be used by its owner, who is likely to be Inter Milan.

Alternatively, they could award in favor of Beckham and the MLS, and treat the word as nothing more than a descriptive sentence thus granting Inter Miami the right to use it.

Beckham's dream is another catch, however, which has already encountered many problems along the way.

Miami has finally managed to acquire a stadium – even a temporary one – before the kickoff of the 2020 season, in which they plan to participate.

Beckham's attempts to build a new stadium in Miami came up against many oppositions, with several sites already examined and rejected.

Miami's plan is now to play at Lockhart Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, pending the construction of a new stadium.

In a public referendum, 60% of voters agreed that the club would convert a city-owned golf course into its new field, called Freedom Park.

Beckham and his teammates will then be tasked to build a team capable of playing the division,

But they have a potential trial to face first.

Mirror Football has contacted Beckham representatives for their comments.
