Chanel Was Sentenced To Huge Compensation Due To Commercial Disputes

Chanel (Chanel) was sentenced to huge compensation in a commercial dispute

Recently, the French Court of Appeal sentenced Chanel brand to pay a compensation of 258400 dollars to World Tricot because it infringed the trademark rights of World Tricot. As early as 2009, a commercial court sentenced World Tricot, the former knitwear supplier of the Chanel brand, to pay a compensation of 200002 euros to the Chanel brand, because World Tricot accused the Chanel brand of copying its design.

Chanel brand said that it would soon decide whether to appeal to the French Supreme Court, but the recent trial results did not allow World Tricot to request to suspend cooperation with Chanel brand.

Chanel fashion Bruno Pavlovsky, the director of the department, said, "This is the first time that we have encountered such a problem. We have cooperated with more than 400 suppliers. This incident does not reflect our relationship with suppliers, but only an example."

The cause of the matter can be traced back to 2004. Carmen Colle, the founder of World Tricot, found that the design she provided to Chanel had not been adopted, but she found the products with the same design in the shop window of Chanel in Tokyo a few months later.

The price of the knitted cardigan involved is 3000 dollars. According to Chanel's proof, it was made by an Italian company supplier Production. Therefore, World Tricot filed a lawsuit to the court, asking Chanel to compensate its own party for breach of the contract of ￡ 1.3 million (referring to the business relationship of improper dismissal). In addition, it also asked Chanel to compensate its own products of ￡ 2.3 million, totaling ￡ 3.6 million.
