Dolce e Gabbana has been ordered by a French court to pay damages for the reproduction of a watch design by French watchmaker Pascal Morabito. According to the Agence France-Presse, the department store Les Galeries Lafayette has also been convicted for selling the Dolce e Gabbana watch in its stores. Together the parties will have to pay Morabito €150,000 in damages, with Lafayette having to pay up to €20,000. The court also ordered the destruction of the remaining watches in stock, accompanied by a fine of €150 a day for every day of delay after the two months following the sentence have ended. If it does not comply, Dolce e Gabbana is obligated to publish the judge’s sentence in Le Figaro and must place a summarized version, in French, on its website for three months. The court took into consideration the minor differences between the two designs during sentencing, but found that the D&G model had reproduced the combination of characteristics of the original Morabito design.
