The Global Legal Post
Foley & Lardner LLP attorneys Jeffrey Greene, Ashley Koley, Jax England, and Sarah McGrath authored The Global Legal Post article, “What to watch in 2026: key US fashion, apparel and beauty cases.”
“In 2026, several U.S. cases are testing the legal boundaries in fashion, apparel, and beauty, including disputes over IP protection for minimalist design, the rise of ‘dupe’ culture, and when competitive practices cross into infringement,” the authors write in their examination of cases set to shape this year’s landscape and 2025 cases that continue to have a lasting impact on industry trends.
