Overview

• A U.S. District Court judge granted Fox Corp’s temporary restraining order barring Media Deportes México and Grupo Lauman from using the Fox Sports brand in the United States
• MDM and Grupo Lauman assert they hold an exclusive Disney-issued license for FOX marks in Mexico valid through at least November 10, 2026, and say they have not been formally notified of any U.S. lawsuit
• A Mexican tribunal ordered Fox Corp and its affiliates to abstain from obstructing MDM’s continuous use of the FOX trademarks, and the IMPI reinforced that protection with provisional measures
• Fox Corp’s complaint in New York accuses Grupo Lauman of payment breaches, brand misuse and reputational harm, and its preliminary hearing is set for August 28
• The dispute highlights the limits of cross-border enforcement as U.S. orders have no domestic force in Mexico while Mexican measures cannot bind U.S. territories
