    [SINGAPORE] Global luxury and fashion goods company Louis Vuitton has sued a wholly owned subsidiary of mainboard-listed ValueMax Group in the Singapore High Court for trademark infringement and passing off.

    Louis Vuitton, known popularly as LV, is taking issue with some jewellery being sold by ValueMax Retail, which LV claimed to be in direct competition with its jewellery business.

    In its statement of claim filed in mid-September, LV alleged that ValueMax Retail had in July and August 2024 at its Yishun Street 22 store offered for sale various jewellery pieces that were affixed with signs identical or similar to one or more of LV’s marks.
