Warner Bros Sued For Pirating Louis Vuitton Trademark

Posted by Soulskill on Monday December 26, 2011 @08:10AM from the snake-eating-its-own-tail dept.

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "You have to love a case where Warner Brothers, copyright maximalist extraordinaire, gets sued for 'piracy,' in this case for using a knock-off Louis Vuitton bag in a recent movie. This lawsuit has been described as 'awkward' for Warner; I have to agree with that characterization. Louis Vuitton's 22-page complaint (PDF) alleges that Warner Bros. had knowledge that the bag was a knock-off, but went ahead and used it anyway. Apparently Warner Bros. takes IP rights seriously only when its own IP rights are involved."

Spare us. Even though it's an appeal to authority I'm sure NewYorkCountryLawyer knows a shit-load more about conflicts of interest than most people here, including me.
And you.
Because, of course, it's impossible to create a Slashdot name like that unless the creator is a lawyer.
How is life as a neo-medieval toilet, btw?
