Christian Louboutin SAS v. Charles Jourdan Fashion Footwear LLC has been settled out of NY federal court less than one and half month after the case was filed. Louboutin alleged that Charles Jourdan along with discount shoe retailer DSW infringed on Louboutin’s trademarked red soles when it offered for sale, Charles Jourdan shoes with similar red soles. According to WWD, Louboutin referred to Jourdan’s shoes as “counterfeit” versions of its own shoes, and claimed that it supplied the infringing product to select DSW stores in Brooklyn and Manhattan.
Louboutin’s lawyer, Harley Lewin of McCarter & English said the parties came to an "amicable resolution" and they "received excellent cooperation from the parties." The terms of the settlement was confidential.
The case was similar to Louboutin's claim against YSL which Lewin also tried, in which the court held that Louboutin trademark applied to the red soles when the rest of the shoes were a different color.
