For example, though a designer may not exclusively own their design, they can and should own their brand, by obtaining trademark rights for all sources identifiers that are unique to their brand, including their brand name, logo, taglines, trade dress, colors, and sounds. It’s all about the brand these days, which is why consumers are willing to pay over $25,000 for a Birkin bag, but not willing to pay anything close to that for an imitation bag (in most cases). Another huge opportunity for protection for fashion designers is ensuring they have the proper contracts in place - and this goes beyond an NDA template you found online! As an entrepreneur, you should have a contract in place with every single person you work with - from your interns, salespeople, and tailor, to the big brands looking to strike a licensing deal with you. Contracts can make or break your business. https://www.thecloudlawfirm.com/your-fashion-attorney-blog/ftcsuesamazon monthly 0.5 2023-06-22 https://www.thecloudlawfirm.com/your-fashion-attorney-blog/blog-post-title-one-yygwc monthly 0.5 2023-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61febf6456321c1e1d6c9a14/eefd4643-be07-4e49-a8cd-57aec377d8bc/ad.jpg Blog - A case study on Trademark Protection in Fashion: Temu’s Copy of Telfar’s Shopping Bag - Recently, I was scrolling on Instagram when I spotted an advertisement for what I believed was a Telfar bag…until I realize that the ad was posted by Chinese-based fast fashion brand, Temu. The “Maijia” faux leather bag is shaped like the iconic Telfar puffer shopping bag with similar straps. However, Temu did not stop there. The company also placed an embossed logo on the bag that is nearly identical to that of the Telfar brand, with the addition of a slight tweak that gives the logo 2 spikes on the top and bottom of the logo in addition to the spikes on the side. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61febf6456321c1e1d6c9a14/c47b2b9c-0aec-404c-9a59-2297bb3b695d/website.jpg Blog - A case study on Trademark Protection in Fashion: Temu’s Copy of Telfar’s Shopping Bag - When I realized the selling price of the Temu bag and the fact that the company has allegedly sold over 169,000 of these bags, I knew I had to chime in on this issue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61febf6456321c1e1d6c9a14/d74549f3-1619-415e-8d55-d608fdd9799f/Screenshot+2023-06-04+135836.png Blog - A case study on Trademark Protection in Fashion: Temu’s Copy of Telfar’s Shopping Bag - Make it stand out The trademark application for the Telfar logo for handbags was filed on June 25, 2021. *Note: The mark is not registered as of the date of this article due to a dispute with another famous brand for another class of goods, but is now likely in the final stages of receiving its trademark registration for handbags. Nevertheless, certain common law trademark rights attach once the owner begins using the mark in commerce. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61febf6456321c1e1d6c9a14/4743b7c7-352f-4044-bc60-576e723f59fd/Temu+Telfar.png Blog - A case study on Trademark Protection in Fashion: Temu’s Copy of Telfar’s Shopping Bag - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.thecloudlawfirm.com/your-fashion-attorney-blog/welcome-to-our-blog monthly 0.5 2023-07-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61febf6456321c1e1d6c9a14/fab66942-a8a4-49a2-9ce5-621bdaa829f0/DSCF4856.jpg Blog - Welcome to our Blog!
