IP Law360 Reports on Latest Victory for Polo Ralph Lauren

In an article entitled ​“US Polo Can’t Sell Sunglasses With Ralph Lauren Marks” IP Law360 reported on the latest court ruling in a long-running trademark dispute in which Kelley Drye represents Polo Ralph Lauren USA Holdings Inc.

According to the article, ​“U.S. District Judge Robert W. Sweet granted Ralph Lauren’s motion to hold the United States Polo Association in contempt (for) violation of a 2012 injunction and 1984 order barring it from using a double-horseman logo similar to Ralph Lauren’s horse-and-rider logo on its merchandise. He awarded Ralph Lauren the USPA’s profits from the sale of its sunglasses bearing the double-horseman mark for a period of 60 days following the ruling, saying Ralph Lauren had submitted ​“clear and convincing evidence” that the USPA had violated the injunction by using the marks on its eyewear.”

Recently a Second Circuit appellate court ruled in Polo Ralph Lauren’s favor in a trademark case against U.S. Polo Association involving fragrances.

The article mentions that Polo Ralph Lauren is represented by partner Andrea L. Calvaruso.
