Ruling steps on shoe designer's toes
(CNN) -- French shoemaker Christian Louboutin is seeing red -- and will likely be seeing a lot more of it -- after a judge in Manhattan denied an injunction that would have kept fellow designer Yves Saint Laurent from selling shoes with red soles.
The lawsuit,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], filed in June, takes issue with four specific shoes from YSL's Cruise 2011 Collection: the Tribute,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Tribtoo, Palais and Woodstock models,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], claiming the shoes violate Louboutin's trademarked "lacquered red sole."
In fact,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Louboutin's red soles have graced many a red carpets, adorning the feet of celebrities Oprah Winfrey,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Heidi Klum and Sarah Jessica Parker. District Judge Victor Marrero acknowleded that in choosing a red sole for his shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Louboutin had "departed from longstanding conventions and norms of his industry," to create a product,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "so eccentric and striking that it is easily perceived and remembered."
However, Marrero went on to say that,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "Louboutin's claim to the 'the color red' is, without some limitation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], overly broad and inconsistent with the scene of trademark registration."
"This was a trademark that never should've been issued,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," David Bernstein,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], attorney for the defendant, Yves Saint Laurent said.
He adds, "YSL has been using red since the 1970s,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], other designers have used red on the soles of their shoes. They aren't doing so to confuse people,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but because it's a design aesthetic."
Lewin thinks the judge went too far.
"This is no longer about the case," he said.
Judge Marrero's decision drew parallels between painters and fashion designers, calling them both members of a creative industry where no one should be barred from using color to achieve their aesthetic. Doing so could,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "interfere with creativity and stifle competition."
Bernstein agrees. Marrero said industrial products are different because the application of color is simply to distinguish one manufacturer from another,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Lewin says his client "separated his shoes from everyone else's by using a red sole."
Lewin said he's never had such an outpouring from his fellow attorneys, law professors and members of the fashion industry, telling him, "This [verdict] is an abomination. Tell your client to appeal."相关的主题文章：
