[A] Spanish justice official went to the headquarters of Real Madrid in Spain and tried to deliver the legal papers there, but the official said in a filing that a receptionist refused to accept them because the lawsuit doesn't involve the team. Feldhuhn said they are now trying to serve the papers at an address where they believe Ronaldo lives.
Renzi has used the trademark, which he applied for in 2008, for an exercise video and on apparel.
