Levi’s Lawsuit

[Buckeye]

Forgive me if this is too off-topic, but wanted to learn more about Levi’s lawsuit regarding trademark infringement against Fullcount (and more concerningly, Standard and Strange, along with Franklin and Poe). My short takeaway is that if a court does agree that these jackets/pants are too similar (which… they’re not similar to me!), could Levi’s bring successful suits against the entire heritage repro denim industry?

Ya can’t have the red tags in America. Seems like a dumb mistake if that’s what they did as this was loudly litigated long ago.

Not only with full count, there other brand do it too

Samurai, alchemist skull jeans evisu.

The rule is cut the red tag off.

Outside Japan. Otherwise face the lawsuit.

I have few pair with red tags only import from Japan.
