| Bittersweet: Gucci wins lawsuit against Guess |
It’s no surprise
but Gucci has won its legal battle against Guess. The federal judge in
Manhattan determined that Guess the fashion label had infringed numerous
designs of the Italian fashion house’s trademarks.
The New York federal judge Shira Scheindlin granted Gucci injunctions against Guess over three out of the four motifs that Gucci had claimed that Guess had infringed. Scheindlin awarded Gucci $4.7m in combined damages however this was far short from the figure that Gucci was hoping to get from the lawsuit… wait for it… it’s about $216.3 million short.

Our note: We hope that this case is not the start for fashion labels to go at
war at each other, although it seems that this culture is already being adopted,
have we forgotten the lawsuit regarding Chrisitan Louboutin and Yves Saint
Laurent.
What we do not
understand is why companies worth multi millions would copy another’s design
when in truth they can create a far superior one, is this not what fashion is
competing with another fashion house to create a piece of garment that far
exceeds another.
