1. Louboutin lost its trademark in its District Court case against YSL earlier this year.

2. A trademark wouldn't stop them from using the image

3. The image would be covered by a copyright and not knowing who took the picture, I'm not sure who holds the copyright.

4. In the U.S. designs are NOT protected.

My parents insist on calling my Louboutins "Louis Vuittons." :rolleyes:

I stopped correcting them about a year ago.

would you believe people that work in my local shoe department at NM call Louboutins Louis Vuittons as well?!? I honestly cannot shop there because it bothers me so much :P

oh dear. well i find that people on this forum tend to be more knowledgeable about the style names than the associates...to them it's just a shop [and that's fine] to us...it's :hbeat:

Sorry to not be clear, I thought it was implied since we were talking about shoes. I meant fashion designs aren't. There can be trade dress protection available, however, I would say only his most iconic designs (i.e. Pigalle) would have a chance at that.
