Earrings Designer Sues for Copyright Infringement

Milord & Associates reports on their intellectual property blog:

Jewelry designer David Rasnick has sued Jewelry and Minerals of Las Vegas for copyright infringement. Rasnick has been designing jewelry for over 20 years and designed a teardrop shaped humpback whale loop earring… Rasnick alleges that “Defendant has sold unauthorized and infringing copies of the humpback whale earring, which bear a design that is substantially similar to the humpback whale earring at retail.

So what do we learn from this? Don’t knock off other people’s stuff!
