The denim company is seeking compensation for unspecified losses in profits and other damages, and a court injunction to stop Polo Ralph Lauren from making any apparel with its trademark stitching design.

Polo Ralph Lauren has in the past and continues to manufacture, source, market and/or sell clothing that displays stitching designs that are confusingly similar to [Levi's] arcuate trademark

As said in Levi's court filing.

E.J. Bernacki, a Levi's spokesman, said that the company had not yet served the complaint to Polo Ralph Lauren because Levi's is trying to work on reaching an amicable agreement first.

As a company with a strong brand identity, which owns unique intellectual property and recognizes the importance of protecting its valuable trademark rights, Polo Ralph Lauren takes this subject matter very seriously...While we have not yet been served with this complaint, we believe that the designs at issue are clearly distinguishable from those of Levi's.

In a statement released Tuesday by Polo Ralph Lauren.

If this does indeed go all the way to court, it will be a good time to debut their latest fashion for corporate lawyers. I hear that new case book on trademarks is the new black.
