Staci Riordan, Jacqueline Lechtholz-Zey and Neal Gauger were featured in the Law360 article "H&M Again Escapes 'LA Fingers' Artist's Infringement Suit." While the full text can be found in the February 11, 2014, issue of Law360, a synopsis is noted below.
A California federal judge tossed an artist's copyright-infringement suit against H&M Co. Inc., ruling that he hadn't identified any protectable, substantially similar elements between his iconic "LA Fingers" photograph and an image on a shirt sold by the Swedish clothing retailer.
The judge had booted the case in October but gave the photographer a chance to refile trimmed-down infringement claims. H&M argued that the new, amended complaint was still deficient and should be permanently tossed.
H&M is represented by Riordan, Lechtholz-Zey and Gauger.
