UPDATE: Sources tell us Lindsay is NOT suing 6126 Collection or Kristi Kaylor - they're both suing the licensee D.N.A.M. Apparel Industries for breach of contract, fraud and trademark infringement aka the 6126 name.

Lindsay Lohan just loooooOOOoooves going to court, doesn't she?

In a new case where she's actually the plaintiff rather than the defendant, LiLo is suing the 6126 Collection, the company she "designed" expensive leggings for, over claims that she owns the "6126" trademark.

The numbers stand for 06-01-1926, the day Marilyn Monroe was born, which Lindsay has always said she felt a close connection to.

She launched the collection back in 2008 with her business partner Kristi Kaylor, but due to Lindsay's busy filming schedule it's been inactive since 2010.

One of Lohan's lawyers is expected to officially file the $1.1 million lawsuit in a federal court today.

Oh goody, another court case for Lindsay. It must be Thursday.

And just for the hell of it…check of pics of modeling her leggings (below)!

We’re not sure this will hold up in court.

The Kardashian's new beauty line, Khroma Beauty, has been under fire for their name by an El Lay business owner.

He claims that his beauty business, Chroma Beauty, is too similar to theirs and he doesn’t want to be associated with them.

But Khloe Kardashian is defending the name, saying they came up with it all by themselves.

Khloe recalls:

This is inneresting!

The U.S. Navy finally got a trademark on camouflage! The design is the pixelated black, gray and navy blue camo pattern, but the green is still okay!

Originally, the trademark was revoked because it was seen as functional and ornamental, but the Navy proved that they actually use the print to help distinguish themselves.

Since the trademark is so specific

A New York federal court gave Christian Louboutin's red-sole trademark the green light on Wednesday, bringing an end to a year-long battle with Yves Saint Laurent.

In case you've been living under a rock for the past 16 months, Louboutin first sued YSL last April, claiming

Now we can officially say the suit is OVER!

Remember last month when a federal court awarded Gucci $4.7 million in damages stemming from a three trademark battle against GUESS and the brand's footwear licensee, Marc Fisher?

Welp, looks like the Judge Shira Scheindlin done goofed on his calculations because

Christian Louboutin's been dealt another legal blow is his crusade against any and everyone producing red soled shoes!

Back in 2008 the French cobbler sued Zara France for counterfeiting and unfair competition over an open-toed shoe that looked identical to his YoYo heel.

After the court ruled in favor of Louboutin, Zara filed their own appeal, which resulted in the original decision being overturned in June of 2011 because "the terms of Louboutin’s trademark registration were too vague, noting for instance that it did not contain a Pantone color reference for the red soles".

Oops. That's why they pay lawyers the big bucks, right?

Last week the 4 year legal battle came to an end in France's final court of appeal, which upheld the 2011 ruling in favor of Zara. The court determined there was no legal or procedural error in the case and ordered Louboutin to pay Zara $3,600 as compensation.

We can only imagine the massive grins the folks at Yves Saint Laurent have across their faces right now!

Adidas' signature three stripes are JUST as identifiable as Nike's swoosh, so OF COURSE they'd be pissed if another shoe rips off their symbol!

Adidas AG and Adidas America Inc. have filed a lawsuit against Big 5 Sporting Goods and World Industries for creating/distributing sneaks that bear “confusingly similar imitations of Adidas’ three-stripe mark.”

The athletic clothing MEGA brand is asking for both companies to be permanently enjoined from using their trademark stripes, that all footwear bearing the mark be destroyed, and they want monetary and punitive damages and legal fees.

DAMN. They are super for serious!

We're sure those small, California based companies are feeling Adidas' burn!
