A fashion design company has filed a lawsuit claiming Aspen Licensing International Inc. is a trademark troll targeting anyone using the word “Aspen” in their products.
At issue are “Aspen” handbags sold by Vincent Camuto under the “Lucky” trademark. Greenwich-based Vincent Camuto claims in its federal lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut Friday that Aspen Licensing, which owns two “Aspen” trademark registrations, “is a trademark troll with a long history of making demands for payment for any use of the word ‘Aspen’ in connection with a number of goods, regardless of the context of that use.”
