Article Excerpt:

On Thursday, Coach, Inc., filed suit against a Snohomish, Wash., nostalgia and antique store for counterfeiting.

The suit, filed in the Western District of Washington, alleges that Pegasus Theater Shops and its owner have been selling handbags, wallets, sunglasses, reading glasses, cellular phone cases, and watches bearing Coach’s trademark, or a trademark that is indistinguishable from Coach’s “CC” logo, without Coach’s authorization.

The suit also names the shop’s owner individually. It alleges she is the “active, moving, conscious force behind the alleged infringing activities.”

The suit alleges claims for trademark infringement, trade dress infringement, false designation of origin, and unfair business practices.
