Red Shoes Can Not Be Monopolized, Christian&Nbsp, Louboutin Will Appeal.

Judge Victor Marrero also mentioned that Louboutin's red shoe appeal will not only affect senior shoes. market Competition also has a potential impact on competition in other fashion markets, causing clothing, handbags, accessories and other manufacturers to fall into fear of litigation. "The requirement of Louboutin will make the entire fashion industry shrouded in" red cloud "and bind other designers, while Loubouti can paint with a complete color palette.

Loubouti's lawyer, Harley Irwin Lewin, regrets the ruling and thinks it is contrary to the trademark law. "He (judge) finds that in the fashion industry, people can not own a single color as a trademark, but ignore the concept that the color logo has been deposited in the public as a trademark." He also said, "we have made it clear that this is not about a fashionable commodity, but just a sole."

Lewin says it will appeal, but it will be formally decided after talks with Louboutin. He has great confidence in winning the appeal.

YSL's lawyer, Jyotin Hamid, said she was satisfied with the ruling. "No designer should monopolize a color in fashion." He also said that YSL will continue to produce red shoes because they have been designing such shoes since 1970s.

The judge thinks that using color as a trademark can not afford the scrutiny of the law. "Because in the fashion industry, the color has decorative and aesthetic significance, and plays a vital role in promoting competition." At the same time, he also recognized Louboutin's great success since he created red shoes in 1992. Though reluctant, YSL also recognizes this fact.

This year, Louboutin is expected to achieve 240 thousand sales in the US. Jealous competitors and fake shoe producers want to make profits.
