Verdict For The Defendant




After four long years, fashion power house Louis Vuitton lost their court case for trademark infringement against every high school girls handbag line, Dooney & Burke. LV has been trying to convince a judge that Dooney's multi-colored monogrammed handbags looked too much like theirs and could possibly confuse customers. It is rumored that LV plans on appealing the decision. I mean, honestly I don't see how anyone can get Louis Vuitton and Dooney & Burke confused. Just look at the price tag! WWD had something to say about the issue as well.
"Although she acknowledged the similarities between the two designs, Scheindlin noted Vuitton's LV mark used a larger font size and consisted of "a combination of letters and shapes," while the Dooney & Bourke design featured an unadorned DB."



And plus, who still rocks multi-colored monogram?! Get over it LV...
