Permalink European Court: Freedom Of Expression About Darfur More Important Than Louis Vuitton's Trademark

Louis Vuitton's sued artist Nadia Plesner for her painting that included a child from Darfur holding a designer purse. European Court rules freedom of expression about Darfur more important than Louis Vuitton's trademark.

Back in March, we wrote about Louis Vuitton's attempt to sue artist Nadia Plesner for her painting that included what was supposed to be a child from Darfur holding a designer purse. This was the second time LV dealt with this issue. A few years earlier, it had sued Plesner over the same character holding the same purse (which, we should note, does not copy LV's logo directly) which was on t-shirts that Plesner was selling to help raise money for the victims in Darfur. We found the entire thing to be beyond distasteful by LV. This clearly was not trademark infringement. It was just LV being a bully. Plesner had lost that original lawsuit, mainly because she just didn't fight it. The new lawsuit was about the painting above.
