Checking In With LV v Hyundai (Luxury Basketballs)
Hyundai ran a commercial during last year’s Super Bowl which depicted (for a few seconds) an ‘LV’ basketball as one of a series of exaggerated images of luxury. LV sued (complaint here, but sadly, commercial removed from YouTube). I checked the docket today (slow weekend) and it looks like the lawsuit proceeds – the parties are in the midst of discovery.
