LVMH Sues Hyundai Over Luxury-Related Super Bowl Ad – 4/3/10


More interesting news from the LVMH camp: they’re suing Hyundai Motor Co. for showing a Louis Vuitton-style monogram in its TV ad that ran during Super Bowl XLIV.

According to WWD, the court case, filed in Manhattan, accuses Hyundai of “trademark infringement and dilution” and seeking to “benefit commercially from the fame and renown of the LVMH marks by creating a false association between Louis Vuitton and its automobiles.”

We’ll keep you posted on any developments on this case.
