Case studies related to Trademark Class 25

Let’s take a look at a couple of cases that exemplify how important trademark registration is for your brand protection.

1. Adidas Vs. Forever 21 (2015)

Athletic retailer, Adidas, sued women’s clothier, Forever 21, for using its “three stripe” design on a collection of Forever 21 sweatshirts. Adidas argued that it invested millions of dollars to protect its trademark over the years.

Ruling: Adidas voluntarily dismissed the case, which indicates the matter was likely settled outside of court.

2. Louis Vuitton Vs. Louis Vuiton Dak

The high-end fashion brand Louis Vuitton, having a well-known registered trademark, had filed an infringement suit against a South Korean fried chicken, fast-food company named “Louis Vuiton Dak.”

Ruling: The court held the South Korean restaurant liable (fined $1250) for trademark infringement because the name was too similar to Louis Vuitton’s name. Furthermore, the fried chicken was wrapped in packaging with the iconic LV symbol. Perhaps, Louis Vuitton wasn’t a fan of fried chicken. Unfortunately for the fast-food chain, this story doesn’t end here. After the ruling, the restaurant changed its name to “Louisvui tondak.” This subtle rearrangement of letters was deemed to be too similar to the letter arrangement in “Louis Vuitton.” The restaurant was fined again ($14.5 million dollars) for non-compliance.
