Forever 21 has been sued for copyright infringement so many times, we've lost count.

But in the latest on-going round with Express, a Los Angeles judge has denied a motion to shield Forever 21 founders Do Won Chang and Jin Sook Chang from depositions, reports WWD.

The drawn out legal battle with Express dates back to December 2007 when the retail chain charged Forever 21 with infringing its copyrighted plaid patterns for men's shorts, says the fashion news site.

With the trial set for next September and the fast fashion retailer's founders now subject to legal depositions, sounds like the case is heating up!

But perhaps the two fashion retailers can work it out on their own as Forever 21 recently settled a copyright infringement suit with Trovata out of court.
