A designer accuses the Lego company of copying without his permission the leather jacket he had created for the cast member of the “Queer Eye” series, Anthony Porovski.
James Conkannon claims that the leather jacket included in the set of Lego figures with the Netflix series is a “copy” of his design and that the Danish company did not ask for his permission, nor did he compensate him for his work.
Porofsi wore the designer’s jacket in the fourth cycle of the “Queer Eye” series.
The lawsuit, filed in Connecticut District Court, alleges that Lego “deliberately” and “diligently” copied the leather jacket it had created to be worn during the filming of the Netflix series.
The company also reportedly offered Concanon “a free Fab 5 Loft set – which sells for $ 99.99 for his six-year-old son, but later withdrew the offer through an outsider, who told him that Lego was not giving away its products. free”.
The New York-based designer, according to a NY Post article in the lawsuit, admits in the lawsuit that he did not require Netflix to code a license to present the jacket “as he had done in previous cases when his creations appeared in the series” but adds “He certainly never agreed to allow Lego – the world ‘s largest gaming company, with more than $ 5 billion in annual revenue – to commercialize his work for free.”
