Converse Sues Ralph Lauren, Walmart and More For Trademark Infringement

Converse is sick of their style being imitated and is dishing out lawsuits. The New York Times reports that the footwear company has taken legal action against 31 companies for trademark infringement. In 22 separate lawsuits filed in the U.S District Court in Brooklyn on Oct. 14th, Converse named companies like Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Sketchers, Ralph Lauren, FILA and others claiming that they have copied the design of their Chuck Taylor sneaker. Converse has also filed a separate complaint with the International Trade Commission to stop these companies from selling what they consider Chuck Taylor imitations. The ITC has the power to prevent anything considered fake from entering the country to be sold. “The goal really is to stop this action,” Converse chief executive Jim Calhoun told NYT. “I think we’re quite fortunate here to be in the possession of what we would consider to be an American icon.” The amount that Converse is seeking has not been disclosed.

Is The Alleged Murderer Of Doe B Out Of Jail?

The sad fact is that Doe B was one of the most promising rappers. He was signed by T.I. He was from Alabama. And he had a very loyal following. He was killed in December of 2013. After he was killed there was a tremendous amount of drama. His murder was tragic to say the least. Anyway, AllHipHop has unverified sources with AllHipHop have told us that Doe B’s accused murderer is out. The police sought to put him away for life, but simply didn’t have the evidence to do it. Remember, Doe B was shot in an infamous Alabama nightclub, known to be unsafe by locals. Some have made it clear that Doe was set up and somebody (aka “security”) let the killer in – allegedly. Anywaym lets not forget Kimberlie Johnson, who was also killed on that fateful night. There were six others that were injured by the fracas. Sadly, these folks may never see justice. On the music side, our sources are absolutely positive that there will be more Doe B music to come. So, look out for that. RIP DOE B.
