Whose design is it anyway? In this case, it's Louis Vuitton's.
The High Court has ordered Cuffz, a store located at Raffles City Shopping Centre, to pay Louis Vuitton Malletier $35,000 in damages for selling wallets that looked very simiilar to the global fashion label's Epi line — from the textured surfaces resembling ridges and valleys and two-tone effect, reports Channel NewsAsia.
In October, the Court found the store guilty of infringing the Epi Mark under the Trade Marks Act. The written judgement was released yesterday.
LVM's lawyer had initially asked for $100,000, arguing that Cuffz "could have sold at least 100 units of the infringing items, and stocked another 100 to 250 units". The presiding assistant registrar dismissed this claim as "speculative".
Well at least he tried.
