HUDDERSFIELD are at the centre of a legal wrangle over their shirt's logo.
UED Sports claim their emblem is "identical" to the branding used by current club sponsors OPE Sports.
Both designs feature their company names using blue squares and the same Chinese lettering appearing underneath.
Sports agency UED have written to their rival highlighting the issue.
In a legal letter posted on social media last week, UED wrote: "You are certainly aware of the Trade Mark, since your figurative sign OPE Sports is without any doubt substantially identical to the Trade Mark."
They have also complained to the Premier League, but their allegations fell on deaf ears.

It responded: "Without commenting on the contents of the Letter, the matters complained of are not relevant to us and are instead issues that your client should direct to Huddersfield Town AFC and/or its shirt sponsor."
UED Sports, founded in 2013, aims to discover new world class talent and improve the sporting level of professional athletes.
OPE is a Chinese gaming company thought to be paying the Terriers £1.5million to feature their logo on club shirts this season.
