Christian Louboutin, YSL Suit Dismissed

Christian Louboutin

After 18 months of legal wrangling a Manhattan federal district court entered a final order Thursday 27 December, confirming that Christian Louboutin has no further claims against Yves Saint Laurent over red monochrome shoes and dismissing the lawsuit.

You may remember from our initial posts, Louboutin Tries To Stop Dior From Making Red-Soled Shoes(July), then our follow on story, Christian Louboutin loses round one of red sole battle with Yves Saint Laurent (August) it seemed that the drama was going to continue with neither side giving in. 

It was once presumed in our UPDATE: Christian Louboutin Sues Yves Saint Laurent(July); Yves Saint Laurent may drop the case as the bad publicity that surrounded their action to inital make this attempt did them no favours within the industry. When YSL,  a month later, dropped its claims against Louboutin it came as no great surprise.

Earlier a New York federal appeals court in September backed the validity of Louboutin’s red-sole trademark but said the French shoemaker would only be able to protect its mark when it comes to red-soled shoes with contrasting uppers. That decision gave YSL the right to continue selling its monochrome red pump. The luxury giants squared up again and the case moved back to a New York federal district court for further evaluation of YSL’s counterclaims.

We can now report it has finally come to an official end with Thursday’s court order merely confirms closure of the litigation between the parties.
