American actress Reese Witherspoon recently opened her own store selling clothes, various knick-knacks for the kitchen and cosmetics. According to Reese, sales are very successful, and it does not intend to stop there. However, more recently, the actress was marred by a message from a well-known jeweler who accused her of having stolen her logo.
Long negotiations led to nothing
Jordan Weingartner is engaged in jewelry business for a very long time, and in 2008 she registered the trademark "I LOVE" with a logo resembling a flower. Things went well until she noticed a similar image on the clothes of the firm "Draper James", owned by a famous actress. Initially, Jordan peacefully asked to change the logo and even suggested Reese several options, but none of the proposed star was inspired. After lengthy negotiations, the jeweler company filed a lawsuit against the actress's firm, claiming that Draper James violated the rights to intellectual property.

Claim to court
The amount that the jewelry house wants to receive for the damage done to it is $ 5 million. And even for a star of the same level as Reese, this amount is rather large. However, in her recent interview, Witherspoon stated that the company was named "Draper James" after her grandparents, and the logo, developed under the name of the company, reminds the actress of her southern roots. "Changing the logo is changing the past. Until I do this, "she added in conclusion.
