In this segment of "Intellectual Property News" on Passage to Profit Show, we dive into a high-stakes fashion face-off: Lululemon has taken Costco to court over alleged patent infringement on its coveted athletic wear. From $120 hoodies to $20 lookalikes, we unpack the clash between high-end design and bargain-bin prices—and why this case could reshape how the fashion industry protects its creations. With insights from legal experts and real-world retail experiences, we explore the fine line between inspiration and imitation.
