Diesel U.S.A. won a permanent injunction and final judgment on consent against Chic Lady Ltd. and its owner, Michael Kamali, for copyright infringement. According to court documents, Diesel filed a copyright infringement lawsuit in October 2005 against wholesale apparel and accessories retailer Chic Lady for allegedly using its stylized "D" trademark and the "Diesel-Only-The-Brave-Diesel" trademark on Chic Lady jeans. Under the terms of the judgment, Chic Lady is restrained from reproducing the jeans or any other merchandise with the Diesel trademarks.
I think that it's ridiculus that Diesel has to deal with something as pettie. They are such a large company that they have other problems they need to deal with, but at least they settled this situation. Hopefully it won't happen again.
