The widely known "preppy" company J. Crew has been sued by Tony Duquette for trademark infringement and other causes of action. Tony Duquette, Inc. "The lawsuit alleges that J. Crew knowingly and willfully used the Duquette trademark without permission or license in connection with a leopard print product because of Tony Duquette's unique association with leopard print in the company's designs and products." This case is a little ridiculous, especially because the artist is now dead. I think the sweater is very cute and they should just let it go!
