Antik Denim lawsuit

According to the Los Angeles Business Journal, Blue Holdings, Inc. the maker of high end Antik Denim jeans filed suit against alleged knock off makers Turn On Products Inc. and Alloy Inc. Blue Holdings brought suit as the start of "an aggressive campaign to prevent counterfeiting of Antik’s signature back pocket design."

Antik Denim's press release states:

The unique design in question is copyrighted, and is the subject of pending trademark and design patent registration claims. Antik expects to file at least three more similar lawsuits before the end of the week, alleging that additional companies are violating federal and state trademark, copyright, unfair trade practices and unfair competition statutes and laws.

In case you're wondering, this is what the back pocket design looks like. Be prepared to pay over $200 for a pair of Antik Denim jeans.
