New Zealand fashion designers Trelise Cooper and Tamsin Cooper have settled out of court, putting an end to a drawn out trademark dispute regarding the similarity in their names and countless media references to a certain biblical battle.
In a joint media statement, the designers felt that, with the significant amount of media attention the case has attracted, customers now have a better understanding of their respective brands.
‘Both Trelise Cooper and Tamsin Cooper have agreed that to continue with the case is neither productive nor beneficial and energies are better focused on building their individual brands and future successes.'
‘Tamsin Cooper will continue to trade under her name in her current form without restriction and all legal proceedings will be withdrawn by Trelise Cooper.’
