KANNE, Circuit Judge.
Chattanoga Manufacturing, Inc. sued Nike Inc. and Michael Jordan, alleging trademark infringement and unfair compe tition in violation of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1114(1) & 1125(a). Nike filed counterclaims, alleging that Chattanoga’s trademark was improperly registered by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”) and should be cancelled. The district court found that Chattanoga’s trademark infringement claims were barred under the doctrine of laches and that Michael Jordan could not be held liable in his personal capacity. We affirm.
