Jennifer Gucci barred from using Gucci trademark

gucci logo"The court concludes that (Gucci) has proven that defendants willfully infringed and diluted the Gucci trademarks" wrote NY court in its statement regarding Gucci trademark usage by Jennifer and Gemma Gucci - ex-wife and daughter of the fashion heir. The ladies have developed a line including coffee, bedding, housewares, cosmetics, hosiery, handbags, wine and gelato under their name with a very similar logo to the one developed by Paolo Gucci, now belonging to French luxury goods seller PPR.

Jennifer Gucci has been trying to use commercially her name since 1998 - seven years after divorcing Paolo. Fortunately, up to the moment she's not been successful. source: Reuters
