Gwen Stefani sues Forever 21 over design similarities

Gwen Stefani is suing Forever 21 in LA Federal Court, alleging its 'Forever Love' design infringes trademarks owned by her Harajuku Lovers line.

Gwen Stefani is suing US fashion chain Forever 21 over allegations they infringed trademarks owned by her Harajuku Lovers fashion line. The lawsuit, filed at the LA Federal Court, says Forever 21 is promoting and selling goods featuring a design "virtually indistinguishable" from Harajuku's signature heart/box logo. The only difference, the legal papers claim, are that the designs say 'Forever Love' rather than 'Harajuku Lovers' but that, they argue, is such a small change it wouldn't be noticeable to most customers. The fashion chain is yet to respond.
