LUNA v/ MINELLI



The Luna company was represented by Arnaud Casalonga and Marianne Gabriel, Attorneys at Law.

The Luna company has sued the Minelli company for copyright infringement on a bag model it created.

The Paris Court of Appeal held that Luna was admissible and well founded in its action, the model invoked being original due to the combination of its elements giving it an individual appearance, and Minelli having reproduced this combination without creating a different overall impression between the two models.
