Fashion patent dispute,
GUCCI & Forever 21, who is the
assailant and who is the victim?
Los Angeles based fast-fashion
company Forever 21, filed a lawsuit against the internationally famous Italian
design house Gucci last week. This lawsuit is the latest development in a
series of lawsuits by and against Forever 21.

www.bizchosun.comThe dispute between Gucci and Forever 21 began in October of 2016, when the Italian company sent a cease and desist letter to Forever 21. In the letter, Gucci demanded that Forever 21 cease all sales of certain garments, specifically any products that feature a blue-red-blue stripe or green-red-green stripe. The specific articles in question are three bomber jackets, a choker neckless, and a sweater.

Forever 21 responded to the letters by
filing a lawsuit against Gucci in U.S. District Court for the Central District
of California in Los Angeles. Forever 21 claims that the color matching stripe
is the common fashion element that GUCCI shouldn't have the exclusive rights
of it.
