YSL vs. Louboutin: Red-Sole Dispute Comes to an End!

After 18 months of disputing, the federal district court has finally dismissed the lawsuit Christian Louboutin has against YSL. Christian Louboutin sued YSL for trademark infringement when YSL debuted their monochromatic red pumps for their 2011 Resort collection. The court has ruled that Christian Louboutin's trademark of red-soles will only be protected for shoes with contrasting colored uppers, therefore YSL will be granted the right to continue production of their red pump with red sole.
