Lilly Pulitzer sues Old Navy for copyright infringement; Fortune, 7/30/15

Laura Lorenzetti, Fortune; Lilly Pulitzer sues Old Navy for copyright infringement:

"Lilly Pulitzer, known for its bright and unique fabric patterns, is suing Old Navy for copyright infringement, saying the Gap-owned unit blatantly stole two of the designer’s fabric prints.
While apparel designs are not covered by any intellectual property laws, one-of-a-kind prints and patterns do fall under that protection. Sugartown Worldwide, which owns the Lilly Pulitzer brand and its 33 retail stores, alleged that Old Navy knocked off two of its colorful prints, causing “irreparable harm” to the company."
