Kim Kardashian's Company SUED For $100 Million Over LuMee Phone Case

More Celebrity News ►►
Kim Kardashian’s company is being sued over her Lumme phone case endorsement.
A whopping $100 million dollars is on the line all over a lit selfie accessory.
Kim has promoted the lit phone case on numerous occasions but Snaplight is not having it. A company by the name of Snaplight filed a patent infringement lawsuit on Monday in the California federal court stating that a man named Hoooshmand Harooni filed a patent in 2013 for a QUOTE - "integrated lighting accessory and case for a mobile phone device." Harooni is arguing that it has been extremely difficult for his company to compete in the selfie case market when up against someone with as large of a following as Kim Kardashian. Kim of course has promoted the LuMee case on several occasions to her 165 million plus social media followers.
Snaplight, is asking the court to stop Kim from promoting and using the LuMee cases along with asking for $100 million in damages. But back in November, LuMee actually filed a lawsuit against Snaplight for infringing on its patent. That case is currently pending in Delaware federal court. Kim’s rep released a statement to the Hollywood Reporter saying QUOTE - "The patent lawsuit filed by Snap Light has no merit and is just another attempted shakedown. Kim has done absolutely nothing wrong." A rep for LuMee supported Kim’s rep’s claim saying QUOTE - "LuMee was disappointed to learn about the lawsuit filed against Kim Kardashian West by Snaplight, LLC, alleging patent infringement with regard to her involvement with LuMee. The lawsuit has no merit and Kim has done nothing wrong. LuMee is an innovator of illuminated cell phone cases and was the first to market. Between its patents, copyrights and trademarks, LuMee has developed substantial intellectual property rights surrounding its product line."
Snaplights attorney fired back with a statement to Us Weekly saying QUOTE - "We brought this case to recognize the true inventor and innovator, Mr. Harooni, and the company that invested in him and his technology, SnapLight. Ms. West was targeted because she is the best known user/endorser of the infringing cases and happens to also be a ‘partner' with LuMee. Urban Outfitters was targeted because it is one of the largest distributors of the infringing cases. LuMee and Ms. West are unfairly reaping the benefits of technology that was patented by Mr. Harooni. SnapLight is confident that it will prevail in vindicating its rights in the Harooni patent. The lawsuit is not a ‘shakedown' as contended by Ms. West."
