PUMA SLAPS FOREVER 21 WITH A LAWSUIT FOR FENTY BY RIHANNA X PUMA KNOCKOFFS

forever 21 is back in the news for ripping off another person's outline yet this time their conflicting with Rihanna's powers. 

It has been accounted for that Puma recorded a plan patent, exchange dress and copyright encroachment claim against the retail location subsequent to blaming them for attempting to "exchange on the significant goodwill of Puma, Rihanna, and the Fenty shoes." The German organization guarantees that Forever 21 encroached upon their Fenty by Rihanna x Puma Creepers, Bow Slides and Fur Slides … things that they say," routinely offers out close to the dispatch of each new form because of overpowering interest."

“The complaint continues by addressing infringement on its “Bow Slides” and “Fur Slides.” Forever 21’s are undeniably similar in design and color.

Puma claims: “In an attempt to ride the coattails of Puma’s substantial investment in and success with the Fenty Shoes, [Forever 21] is using the Fenty Trade Dress to offer for sale, distribute, market, and/or sell competing shoes that are confusingly similar to the Fenty Shoes. As reflected in side-by-side comparisons, [Forever 21’s] infringing shoes are confusingly similar to the Fenty Trade Dress.”

In addition to the strong accusations of copyright and trademark infringement, Puma is also claiming rights to the pale pink and olive green colors used on the “Bow Slides.” As of now, this doesn’t seem like a lawsuit that will go in Forever 21’s favor at all.
