Kim Kardashian Wins $2.8M From Company That Kept Tagging Her In Instagram Post by Freebuzz: 7:13am On Jul 04, 2019 |
News via freebuzz.com.ng Kim Kardashian West has won close to $2.8 million from the fast fashion company Missguided in a lawsuit claiming that the company used her “persona and trademarks” to sell replicas of her outfits, in part by continually tagging her on Instagram. The issue of whether Missguided’s Instagram behavior violated trademark law was never actually litigated, though: the company just didn’t respond to her lawsuit, leading to a loss. In a default judgment last night, a California judge ordered Missguided to pay Kardashian West $2.7 million in damages and $59,600 in attorney fees. She also ordered the company to cease using Kardashian West’s trademarks in connection with the “sale, marketing, or distribution of its products.”Kardashian West’s original lawsuit made the argument that Missguided profited off of her brand and likeness. The suit included images from Missguided’s website and Instagram that depicted Kardashian West and her outfits. In one example, customers could click on photos of her and be taken to a Missguided page selling a similar look. “Missguided’s use of Plaintiffs’ marks is likely to cause consumers to mistakenly believe that Plaintiffs are associated with Missguided, or that they sponsor or endorse Missguided and its websites,” the lawsuit states. “And in fact, consumers have already expressed such confusion, suggesting in social media posts and online articles that Plaintiffs must be in a ‘collaboration’ with Missguided.” It’s unclear why Missguided never responded to Kardashian West’s lawsuit, but it has since deleted an image of her from its Instagram.

EditLord:You don't get it. There are smaller brands using Kim for possibly all of their marketings. Kim will not bat an eyelid. They're inconsequential (at least till they're worth something worth suing )and a lawsuit against them right now would be a waste of valuable funds. "Misguided" is worth something. Do the math. Not like Kim really cares, for an attention-craving family, "Misguided's" antics surely wasn't really a problem. They only cashed in. So, if I tag you; you're probably not worth very much (no offense) and won't influence sales for me, and if you choose to sue me, it will be a waste of funds for you because I'm worth very little (at least right now) 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Small thing... That's why most people register companies as LLC. Just declare bankruptcy on the company and register with another name. The fine is on the company, not the persons behind it. |

I don't think this has anything to do with feminism. It's about business. You can't be using someone's pictures and tags to make more money without their permission. Whether Missguided is highly valuable or not is not even the argument, they should have approached her for a deal instead of wanting to profit by using her pictures and tags as an enticement for would-be buyers. lilbest4: 3 Likes 1 Share |
