Spanx Ordered Competitor's Arm Tights & Then Copied Them, Per New

Spanx, the wildly successful hosiery brand, made Sara Blakely the youngest self-made female billionaire in the U.S. at age 41. Now the Atlanta-based company is being sued for allegedly purchasing the products of another brand, copying them right down to the design of the hangtag, and passing them off as original Spanx inventions. According to the copyright and trade dress infringement lawsuit that R and A Synergy (“R&A”) filed in a California federal court late last month, Spanx is, therefore, on the hook for “willfully disregarding the laws protecting” the design and branding of R&A’s innovative slip-on sleeves.
