Following the controversy of graffiti artist Jason 'Revok' Williams was accused by Swedish retailer H & M of copyright infringement, the trademark had withdrawn the complaint filed against the artist against the legality of the public art.
According to HypeBeast, the brand had earlier said Revok “has no copyright rights to assert” because his artwork “is the product of criminal conduct”. H&M added that copyright protection “is a privilege under federal law,” and it it doesn’t extend to “illegally created works.”
Now, the brand is willing to work things out amicably with the artist. They shared on Twitter:

We know there are concerns over the appearance of an artist’s work in one of our images. H&M fully respects artists & artistic rights & we have a history of collaborating with artists. We are taking this seriously & are in discussion with the artists counsel to find a resolution.
