Jennifer Lopez and Coty, Inc. the company
that is manufacturing and marketing Lopez's designer fragrance Glow by
J. Lo might have been wise to do a little research or at least look at
the competition on the department store shelves that the J. Los
perfume is set to soon occupy. If they had they would have seen a line
of fragrances by a company called Glow Industries, Inc.
Of course, they had to have a name that
rhymes with j.lo or at least the lo part and ho by j.lo wouldnt work
but by planning to use the name Glow by J.lo it appears they violated
Glow Industries trademark and as you would expect are now facing a lawsuit
because of it.
Glow Industries, Inc filed a lawsuit on
Wednesday (8/7) against Lopez and Coty, Inc under provisions within the
Lanaham Act, a law that establishes the rules for Trademark laws and use.
Glow Industries, Inc is claiming that by using the name Glow in her perfume
the actress/pop singer had engaged in trademark infringement, dilution
of trademark, unfair competition, and other violations of the Lanaham Act.
J. Los perfume is set to share shelf space
in the same department stores that Glow Industries, Inc.s products can
already be found.
But the name Glow isnt new to Lopez;
her sister Lynda Lopez has a series on the Style Network also named Glow.
