Even though names are similar, they are not the same. It really depends if the product is a copy of the other. To take someone to court I would think Ali would have sufficient evidence that Stella is infringing on her copyright... or... maybe this whole lawsuit is a hoax with the intent to gain brand awareness.

The case of Bono's Wife VS. Stella Mccartney is now debated at AllRise.com court, TAKE A SIDE http://bit.ly/AllRise229

Agreed - stick to your own affairs.

Well maybe Bill Blass should sue them both because he has had a fragrance called "Nude" thats been out since 1990.

kick her butt Stella

they just want money and publicity. who cares in the end? it's just products being marketed and this seems like it's giving them more business.

Does this mean that KFC can now sue Church's Chicken for using the word chicken? This case has absolutely no merit whatsoever. Aside from that, it's two entirely different businesses. What does perfume have to do with skincare? This is just ridiculous. You cannot trademark the word nude.

There is plenty of nudity to go around for everbody!!!

Nude has been a commonly used word in the english language for hundreds of years. Trying to stop Stella McCarthy from using it makes Ali Hewson looks extremely petty. It disgusts me when I see people trying to take another person's rights away. A word as common as nude should be anyone's right to use. Maybe Ali should have invented her own word if she didn't want anyone else using it.

millionaires......no......make that(probably) billionaires...fighting over money....lolololololol....who gives a crap?

Give me a break! Bono's wife is just as arrogant as her husband. She doesn't own the word NUDE.

The word nude has been in the public domain for centuries.
The lawsuit should be tossed out of court in seconds; and whoever filed the suit shoulod be made to pay court costs
and donate 10 million to victims of the flooding in China.

For crying outloud - CANT WE JUST GET ALONG!!

O.K. I was nude in the shower do they want to sue me to?

Perhaps I should sue Elizabeth Arden for using MY name. Seriously, nude is a common word. There are lots of companies with names that overlap. There is a real estate agency here where I live suing a deli for having the same name. It was the last name of the founder and the company is over 75 yrd old, but, they moved down the street and are now closer to the real estate place so they are suing. No one is going to confuse a deli with a real estate agency. And no one is going to confuse a $43 bottle of perfume with a skin care product from another company. Even if they do, who care?

NUDENUDEnudeNUdenuDeNudeNUDenUDEnUdEnUdE....
Ok...now sue me nUDe because I used the word NUDE!!! This is the most ridiculously NUDE thing I've ever heard NUDE....I can't NUDE believe that anyone nuDE would NUDE waste their Nude time over something Nude like this....BUT, NUDE being it's Bono's NUde wife doing it, I actually NUDE can nuDE believe it!!! What a bunch of Nude idiots!!!!

Miss Stella can do what ever she wants...geez who is the real artist here???
Her fragrance sounds lovely...others should try to make a buck another way.
Green is sometimes a very ugly color.
Go Stella!
Lori...your fan from the ol Scotland farm days.

May I ask, "Who the hell cares!
