LOS ANGELES, June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Well known women's luxury apparel brand
Kay Celine recently filed a lawsuit for counterfeiting against national
retailer and manufacturer Stein Mart and Sienna Rose. Kay Celine filed suit in
the United States Federal District Court, for the Central District of
California.  In its complaint, Kay Celine alleges that Stein Mart and Sienna
Rose are selling counterfeit garments.

Kay Celine's attorney, Farhad Novian, Head of the Trademark and Brand
Strategies Division for Novian & Novian, LLP, a law firm in Century City,
California, says that the complaint centers on Stein Mart and Sienna Rose
intentionally and knowingly counterfeiting Kay Celine's distinctive and wildly
successful beaded designs. The complaint further alleges unfair competition,
as the defendants' sale of counterfeit merchandise has hurt Kay Celine's sales
of its garments which are featured at national luxury retailers including
Nordstrom's and Bloomingdales.

Mr. Novian went on to say that the defendants have agreed to pull the
infringing items from their shelves and discontinue sales.  Kay Celine is
seeking turnover of the remaining counterfeit garments, along with damages and
an injunction against Stein Mart and Sienna Rose prohibiting sales of
counterfeit garments in the future.
