They say imitation is the highest form of flattery, but Cartier doesn't seem to agree.
The French powerhouse is suing Donna Karen for copyright infringement, accused her of copying their famous Tank watch collection.
In documents filed in New York's Manhattan federal court on Wednesday, Cartier executives claim: "It is apparent that (the) defendant's use of the Cartier Tank trademark in connection with watches is willful and intentional and done in willful disregard of Cartier's rights."
We'll spare you the long boring details of the lawsuit, in a nutshell, Cartier doesn't want to be associated with Donna Karen because they believe she's going to "devalue" their collection. Ouch!
