Copyright 05

LOS ANGELES — A textile converter is suing Ambrosia Fashion Group LLC d/b/a Mix Nouveau, Burlington Stores Inc. and Does 1-10, individuals, citing alleged copyright infringement.

Unicolors Inc. filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against the defendants alleging that they violated laws through unauthorized distribution of an intellectual property.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that Unicolors Inc. is the owner and author of a two-dimensional artwork under the title “TM1397" and was granted registered copyright from the United States Copyright Office for the subject design. The plaintiff claims the defendants have copied, purchased, marketed, manufactured and/or distributed garments that are identical to plaintiff's design. The plaintiff holds Ambrosia Fashion Group LLC d/b/a Mix Nouveau, Burlington Stores Inc. and Does 1-10 responsible because the defendants allegedly caused plaintiff to suffer substantial damages to its business and profit, failed to acquire plaintiff's consent to reproduce the subject design and obtained financial profit at the expense of plaintiff.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks judgment against defendants, to enjoin defendants from further infringement, award of profits plus all losses, statutory damages, attorneys’ fees, interest, costs of litigation and further relief as the court deems proper. They are represented by C.Yong Jeong, Amy J. Choe and Ryan N. Ostrowski of Jeong & Likens LC in Los Angeles.

U.S. District Court for the Central District of California Case number 16-cv-08647
