A BATTLE GOING BACK TO 1984

The battle over the polo player trademarks began around 1984, the appeals court noted, when the Manhattan federal court enjoined the polo association from using its names or marks in a way that was likely to cause confusion with Ralph Lauren marks.

That 1984 order did, however, allow the association to use a mounted polo player in its retail goods as long as it did not cause confusion.

More than two decades later, the parties met again at a trial. A Manhattan federal jury in 2006 found that the polo association’s use of a solid version of its double horseman mark, without text, infringed Ralph Lauren’s mark. But the jury said there would not be infringement so long as the letters “U.S.P.A.” accompanied the mark or the double horsemen was just an outline.

That judgment was upheld in 2008 by the 2nd Circuit.

In the fragrance case, the Polo Association had argued that the 2006 jury finding should prevent the court from finding similarity, bad faith or confusion if the association used an outlined double horsemen logo with U.S.P.A. or other similar descriptions.

Wash jeans in natural salt?

Why we wash new jeans using natural Salt in Japan. Washing your new jeans in natural salt helps to set their dye, preventing them from fading. In the past, using salt to keep the colour on your blue jeans was necessary because of a lack of quality laundry products for dark colours and jeans makers then did not use dye as fade-resistant as that used today.

Washing your new jeans in natural salt can still help to set the colouring in your jeans today, preventing fading and running of the blue jean dye, which could stain other clothes in your washing machine. The best natural salt for washing denim is Himalayan crystal salts.

With the acquisition of VFG, Mayhoola has taken ownership of the Valentino and M Missoni licensed business, while MCS Marlboro Classics continues under private equity group Permira’s control. Permira also retains a majority stake in Hugo Boss, which takes no part in the deal with Mayhoola.

“Valentino has always been a brand of unique creativity and undisputed prestige. We are impressed by the work of the two Creative Directors, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, and by the management team led by Stefano Sassi. Their ability to blend the aesthetic values of the founder, Valentino Garavani, with a contemporary and sophisticated vision, has been instrumental in enhancing the brand’s relevance and establishing a platform with significant future potential. Our vision is to back management for the long term to exploit the full potential of this exciting brand. We believe Valentino is ideally suited to form the basis for a global luxury goods powerhouse,” said a spokesperson for Mayhoola.

Valentino ended the first half year of 2012 with revenues of 186 million euros, an increase of 23 percent compared with the same period one year ago.
