- Well it looks like Burlington Coat Factory has to got to find .7 M in those oversized U.S. Polo association jacket pockets! Federal Judge Leonard Sand of New York decided that the retailer KNOWINGLY VIOLATED Fendi’s trademark rights.
- But isn’t .7M a little bit too much? Well not really– Burlington Coat Factory is actually a repeat offender. First, in 1987, when Burling Coat Factory was caught selling counterfeit Fendi bags, Justice Sotomayor (I love her last name) granted an injunction against the retailer. Secondly, in 2004 Burlington Court Factory was caught again, and Fendi sent a cease and desist letter, and in 2006 Fendi filed for trademark infringement.
- Well it looks like those shelves at Marshalls, Tj Maxx, and other similar stores may be selling bargains, but in the back of your mind always check to see if the merchandise is genuine.
