Stussy cries trademark infringement

The clothier Stussy has filed suit against another clothing company, Freshjive, for parodying its logo. The funny thing is: Stussy has itself made a habit of toying with other companys' trademarks. Some of the more popular Stussy designs, for example, are takeoffs on Chanel's interlocking C's and Louis Vuitton's now-ubiquitous print. So why go after the little guy who -- in even the most cynical reading -- is only following in Stussy's footsteps? Rick Klotz of Freshjive discusses Stussy's claims here.
