Tory Comes Out On Top in Court

Tory Burch has been awarded $41.2 million after winning a trademark infringement lawsuit against Lin & J International Inc., who the designer successfully proved had copied her trademarks and designs. The judgement, which was made by the US District Court on Friday, draws a line under a battle between the two brands that started in 2013 when Burch "sent a representative to Lin & J's showroom in New York and that representative was shown a variety of knockoffs and told the minimum order was $350," WWD reports court documents as stating. She also "identified a wholesaler in Alabama who pointed to Lin & J as their supplier of thousands of units of fake jewellery."
