kate spade new york or Kate Spade who is no longer with the company ( I don't know which one exactly) is being sued over the poppy print from a few years ago because it looks a lot like Vera Neumann's painting from the 1970's. There are several different poppy prints by both Vera and ksny so I don't know which ones are in question. While I agree it is all "inspired by" Vera's poppies, I don't see how they can sue over it. This is the time to comment lawyers and law students, please find out all the details and share your insights!

I don't see how they can successfully sue. Prints are not similar enough to me. We only have so many mediums with which to work and poppies are a very popular flower. Seems like all water color poppies would turn out looking similar.
Ah, I wish I knew more about fashion trademarks! I agree with the egregious comment in my uninformed perspective, at least...these prints do NOT look similar enough. Poppies by nature will resemble each other.
