Topshop will reportedly dispose of over 1000 yellow dungaree dresses after a legal dispute with Chloe.

Selling an average of 30 pairs of knickers a minute and 6000 pairs of jeans a day, Topshop agreed to pay $12,000 in compensation and legal costs to Chloe.

Topshop's version of Chloe's Sea Cruise dress cost only $35, in comparison to the $185 Chloe design.

Sir Philip Green told the Times: "We paid them over $12,000 without any admission whether it was or it wasn't [a copy]. We felt it was easier to do that and get on with the rest of our lives."

Chloe previously took action against former internet retailer Bananasoup.com over a fake version of their best selling Paddington bag.

i can c why chloe is annoyed, its basically identical

Does anyone know anything of the bill being introduced into the US senate to stop this sort of 'counterfeiting'?

I'm not sure about the bill but I think standard is 6 or 7 changes from the original design, for example different buttons, fabric choice, strap placement/ width that sort of thing before it can be considered 'inspired by' rather than 'counterfeit'
