Jewelery brands David Yurman and Mejuri have settled their trademark-related lawsuit in the US with little fanfare.
In December of 2021, New York-based designer David Yurman filed a lawsuit against venture capital-backed Mejuri for ‘copying’ several distinctive jewelry designs that bore similarities with Yurman’s Pure Form and Sculpted Cable collections.
According to reporting from Rapaport NewsJudge Ronnie Abrams of the US District Court in New York closed the case on Tuesday without costs to either party via court order.
The filing did not disclose the terms of the settlement and spokespersons for the two companies declined to comment.
David Yurman previously accused Mejuri of taking “steps to falsely associate itself with Yurman through its promotional messages, advertising campaigns and artwork, and partnerships.”
Mejuri denied these claims and in March of last year, filed a countersuit alleging that David Yurman’s original lawsuit was “an attempt to bully an emerging competitor, monopolize common design motifs, and prevent competition from one of the fastest-growing fine jewelry brands in a rapidly evolving industry. “
Should either party wish to resume the lawsuit they made file an application to restore the action within the next 30 days.
