Taking Sexy Back
Converse is no stranger to being copied, but this time the athletic shoe company is accused of walking all over someone else's rights instead.
In a lawsuit filed on Monday, custom tattoo company Bloodrose claims that Converse infringed its copyrighted "Bishamonten Back" design (full version and detail, below),
by printing the one-of-a-kind design on a pair of its Chuck Taylor All-Star hi-tops.
The Bloodrose client/canvas is not identified in the complaint -- but it seems the jury is in for an eyefull.
