Summary
- Condé Nast sued Dogue for trademark infringement.
- Dogue is a small canine fashion magazine.
- Creator sees lawsuit as a fight for independent creators.
A legal battle is brewing between Condé Nast and Dogue, a niche canine fashion magazine.
Condé Nast, the venerable publisher of Vogue, has filed a lawsuit alleging that Dogue's logo infringes on its trademark. The complaint states that Dogue's branding is designed to mislead consumers into believing there is an affiliation between the two publications.
Launched in 2019, Dogue features stylish canine photography, showcasing dogs in designer outfits. Its circulation is reportedly under 100.
Olga Portnaya, Dogue's founder, believes the lawsuit extends beyond her publication. She argues it represents a larger struggle for independent creators and the ongoing evolution of art and culture through creative dialogue and reinterpretation.
