Turns out Christian Audigier is getting hauled to court by Marc Jacobs over trademark infringement and trade dress over purse designs.
Marc claims Audigier is selling tote bags that “bear trade dress that unlawfully copies or imitates Plantiffs’ unique, distinctive and non-functional Marc Jacobs Pretty Nylon Tote Trade Dress and/or that unlawfully bear marks confusingly similar to the Marc Jacobs Scrambled Trademark”.
Whew, what a mouthful!
Jacobs currently has a pending application for the Pretty Nylon tote for the Marc Jacobs scrambled trademark that’s on the inside lining.
To add insult to injury, Marc is also suing for unfair competition.
Looks like Marc is taking the rhinestone-loving Audigier to the cleaners!
