The Sweet Smell of a Lawsuit?





It seems like vampires are dangerous types. Not only do they love going out at night, sucking the blood of innocents and wearing leather but now you can add trademark infringement to the list too.

According to New York Magazine: "After Twilight released a perfume that looked suspiciously similar to Nina Ricci's, Nina Ricci (owned by Puig) announced today that the label is taking legal action against the Twilight makers. So vampires can get away with bloodsucking, but not trademark infringement? Got it. [Now Smell This]"

I have posted the pictures of Nina Ricci's perfume Nina and the claimed infringing Twilight perfume. I would have to say that the pictures are compelling. Thanks Jo for this tip!
