Kymsta Corp, a small manufacturer in Los Angeles, recently won the right to use the Roxywear name for apparel. In a lawsuit, Quiksilver had argued that the name was too close to its Roxy brand.
The ruling on Dec. 30 from the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of
Appeals overturned a 2-year-old U.S. District Court decision mandating
Kymsta phase out its Roxywear line over an 18-month period, according to a report in Apparel News.
Quiksilver, based in Huntington Beach, Calif., had 30 days to seek
further review of the appeals-court decision, but has not taken
further legal action.
