Red Sole Fight
Updated Wednesday October 19, 10.31am: Christian Louboutin has
launched an appeal against the court's decision not to grant an injunction
stopping Yves Saint Laurent from producing red-soled shoes - but a verdict may
not be passed until 2012. The shoe label filed its first brief to the Court of
Appeal in Manhattan on Monday with the hopes of protecting its trademark red
soles, whilst YSL's
representatives have not yet filed the expected counter-suit.
"All the briefs from both sides are on a schedule that
the Court of Appeals agreed with, to wit: all done and in before the end of the
year," Louboutin's lawyer told WWD. "Considering what is at stake, it
is probably fair to assume a ruling sometime in early spring, if not
earlier."
