Dooney & Bourke vs. Louis Vuitton
We don't condone physical violence, but we must give it up to all of the underlings taking down their formidable heavyweight opponents this month.First, a 5'8 chap from California knocked out the frighteningly gigantic Suge Knight. And just yesterday, Louis Vuitton lost its trademark infringement case against mall favorite, Dooney & Bourke.
For four years now, LV has been trying to convince a judge that Dooney's multi-colored monogrammed handbags looked too much like their own, and were confusing customers.
Yeah, we don't understand how anyone could be confused by two bags that have styles and price tags that look absolutely nothing alike.
Luckily, the judge didn't buy the argument, either.
According to WWD: "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."
Apparently, LV plans to appeal the decision, which leads us to the following: is their anyone in 2008 still caring multi-colored handbags? If so, that's where the real crime in all of this lies.
