Why is New York Governor Cuomo upset with Khloe Kardashian?
Apparently a high-end clothing company is producing a line run by Khloe and her hubby NBA player Lamar Odom with the emblem that looks very much like the New York State logo.
According to the New York Daily News the state has issued a letter to the couple to stop production or the state will sue.
From NYDN:
State officials believe the logo resembles one the state Department of Agriculture created to identify food grown in New York. The state’s
“Pride of New York” symbol features the Statue of Liberty overlooking a farm, and the state’s name appears in a font similar to how it is printed on the Rich Soil shirt.
“The State of New York has invested substantial time, effort and resources creating the respect and goodwill associated with the trademark,” Susan Rosenthal, a lawyer for the Department of Agriculture, argued in a letter sent to Rich Soil on Friday.
So do you think the State of New York has a case here?
