Person who know little about the fashionable all know, red sole is the signs of Christian Louboutin. But louboutin treat an utterly worthless thing like an order from on high, make use of consumers first impressions are strongest,seems not to be enough kindness. Much more the Christian Louboutin accuse their predecessors, the legend fashion brand Yves Saint Laurent!!!!!
April 7, Christian Louboutin filed a brand trademark infringement lawsuit to Yves Saint Laurent Gucci group corp in Manhattan federal court, claiming from February this year, require YSL stop sale red sole shoes in Manhattan store , but YSL don’t not do as Louboutin said, and the reason for lawsuit is: because YSL “frequent use of red shoes would let consumers confuse two brands and consumers would buy the wrong products, it have the suspicion of fraud.” The suits claim the plaintiff 1 million dollars in damage, and ask the YSL stop produce the similar product.
For the pile ” unexpected trouble “, Gucci group and YSL brand all refused to reply,they may be feel “wash your dirty linen in public”, but much more ,it is not necessary to defense. After all, in the design, and even all the art field, it is difficult to according to a certain similar characteristics to determine whether the works of plagiarism. Further, “the world design a copy”, especially in rapid operation of the contemporary fashion, the designer’s aesthetic inspired by the same things, and then design a similar work,it is not really new things. Of course, YSL case is special, because Louboutin’s red bottom shoe is not a secret in fashion industry ,of course also includes the designer of YSL, the most possible, YSL also hopes to increase some of the younger design to attract customers, and so the sole design is using for reference the Louboutin enthusiasm is bold and unrestrained, did not think of any improper lux.
If such behavior is a tort, twittering. Although Christian Louboutin applied for red bottom shoes patent in 2008, but this type of patent usually only for a specific design, the red shoes that widely terms, was largely invisible. And the protection of the patent invention, is the creator due rights and interests, and not the rampant patent oppressed behavior–if every detail can constitute the patent infringement, I’m afraid round Louboutin made less than mark, only frequent production stilettos that, it is enough to be Roger Vivier GaoDao predecessors……. And about red bottom shoe, in my opinion, this is a wonderful world, like many of the influence on the history of the classical design, but later and do not make an exclusive patent. People mention red bottom shoe, will be the first time remind of Christian Louboutin , but obviously can’t represent the only red bottom shoes.
