Diesel U.S.A. won a permanent injunction and final judgement on consent against Chic Lady Ltd. and its owner, Michael Kamali, for copyright infringement.

Diesel filed a lawsuit in October because the retailer Chic Lady Ltd. copied their "D" on their jeans. Due to this Chic Lady Ltd. cannot make any more jeans with that "D". I don't understand why Chic Lady Ltd. wouldn't look more into the style of their letters before they made their jeans. I feel they may have been trying to trick their customers in thinking the jeans were something they weren't. If I bought jeans from them and found this out I wouldn't want to shop there any more because I would feel like I was purchasing knock off clothes.
