Mary Kay and Michael Kors are going to have legal fight over use of initials ‘MK’ for their cosmetic products. Mary Kay sued Michael Kors and claimed injunction and damages for breach of contract, courthousenews.com reported.

The two companies already had legal issues. In 2005, they settled a dispute over Kors’ use of ‘MK’ marks and Kors twice asked in 2011 to register the MK charm logo mark, but Mary Kay refused, according to courthouse.

Mary Kay, Inc. is a privately held company and sells cosmetics products. According to Direct Selling News, Mary Kay was the sixth largest direct selling company in the world in 2011.
Michael Kors had legal issues with TonyDuquette for trademark infringement after Kors allegedly used Duquette’s name and images in his collection in 2009.
