Kim Kardashian is being sued for trademark infringement.
to Kim's team after she filed papers trying to lock up rights to"SKKN" ... informing her it already held the trademark for"SKKN+" and asking Kim not to use similar branding. The company claims Kim's team ignored the request and pushed forward, releasing her line anyway., is pushing back, telling TMZ ..."This lawsuit is not what it seems. SKKN BY KIM is a new brand that follows in the footsteps of Ms. Kardashian's successful KKW line of products.
Rhodes says,"We applaud Ms. Lunsford for being a small business owner and following her dreams. But that doesn’t give her the right to wrongfully claim that we’ve done something wrong. In its letter, Beauty Concepts claimed to own rights to a logo made up of SKKN+, and had just filed for trademark protection for that logo. The business was a one-person shop offering facials from a single Brooklyn location. The salon had no signage and was by appointment only.
He continues,"Beauty Concepts asked that we drop the SKKN name. Of course, we said no. Beauty Concepts then challenged Ms. Kardashian’s trademark applications at the USPTO. Unsurprisingly, the USPTO rejected Beauty Concepts’ own SKKN+ mark saying that “skkn” just means “skin.” Undaunted, Beauty Concepts then tried to make its business seem more than it was – it leased a new storefront, changed its website, etc.
Rhodes says Kim's team tried to work with Beauty Concepts to figure something out, and says he"pointed out running a small esthetician business in Brooklyn does not give it the right to shut down a global skincare line." Kim and Beauty Concepts are still battling over who has the trademark rights ... and Kim's attorney says BC filed this suit to try to leverage a settlement and score a big payday.
