Christian Louboutin |
Even though Christian Louboutin lost to Yves Saint Laurent in court earlier this week (read about it
here), he still wants at least $1 million in damages from YSL, and Louboutin's lawyer says that he is prepared to "fight like hell until the end" and that "it's early on in the game." The judge who denied Louboutin's request to halt the sales of the red-soled YSL shoes also implied that he would continue to be in favor of YSL if the case were to continue. And since Louboutin seems keen on fighting until the very end, this might mean that he will lose his red sole trademark, which was
granted in 2008.
When they meet again Aug. 19 Louboutin must "show cause why the record of his action as it now exists should not be converted into a motion for partial summary judgment canceling Louboutin's trademark."
Which party are you rooting for?
