When Future said he “just fucked your bitch in some Gucci flip flops” is it possible he wasn’t actually wearing Forever 21?
Gucci launched two countersuits aimed at retailer Forever 21 this week over its use of the high-end brand’s trademarked “blue-red-blue” and “green-red-green” stripe patterns.
According to Refinery29, Gucci had threatened legal action already, prompting Forever 21 to attempt to take their case before the courts first.
The countersuits follow an effort by Forever 21 to protect the striped design from being trademarked. “Many clothing and accessory items adorned with decorative stripes colored blue-red-blue or green-red-green are sold by countless third parties,” argued Forever 21 in that suit. “Gucci should not be allowed to claim that Gucci, alone, has a monopoly on all blue-red-blue and green-red-green striped clothing and accessory items.”
Needless to say, Gucci didn’t like this one bit, and the world-famous designer label hit back hard.
In a statement to Refinery29, the company said: “Gucci has today taken steps to finally put an end to U.S. mass retailer Forever 21’s blatant exploitation of Gucci’s famous and iconic blue-red-blue and green-red-green stripe webbing trademarks.”
“In two filings today in the United States District Court, Central District of California, Gucci has asked the Court to dismiss the spurious claims that Forever 21 lodged on June 26, 2017, and has brought counterclaims against Forever 21 for willful trademark infringement, trademark dilution, and unfair competition.”
Some are out on Twitter unknowingly making Gucci’s argument for them.
I saw the headline and thought Gucci Mane was taking Forever 21 to court..what the fuck has this article got to do with hip-hop??
I thought the same thing yo! lolol
Damn. Forever 21 stay biting lol
Hey Dx, can you please explain how a lawsuit between two clothing companies is HipHop news??? Thanks for this amazing piece of HipHop journalism that we all needed to know. Another shitty article from the useless culture vulture known as Somhairle “FUCKTARD” Cinnsealach.
U seem real angry bruh maybe hiphopdx should write an article on how bad u need a fuckin hug ctfu at least that would be better than this b.s. lol
Maybe they thought it was a story about gucci mane. But most likely they are having a slow day and theu do not have an editor or supervisor to squish these non hip hop stories
dinduism
I’m just stupid. Sorry for y’all that I posted not-so-hiphop-article lol
Those shoes look exactly like Birdmans, so did he get sued back in 2004 when those were poppin? Probably not. I honestly clicked because i thought the rapper was suing someone.
I mean with all respect to all budget brands but come on! Why you gotta steal someone else’s style! I wouldn’t buy any of that shit cuz I know it’s a steal and it shows that anyone wearing it can’t get the real shit.. just do your own thing and people including myself will buy!
