Brand History & Trademark Analysis
Louis Vuitton founded his trunk-making workshop in Paris in 1854. The LV Monogram canvas, the interlocked initials surrounded by floral motifs, was designed by his son Georges Vuitton in 1896 specifically to counter widespread counterfeiting. LV trademarks the Damier chequerboard pattern, the Monogram canvas, and the shape of certain handbags as registered trade dress. In 2000, the Paris Court of Appeal awarded Louis Vuitton damages against eBay for facilitating the sale of counterfeit goods on its platform.
