The Donald Judd Foundation, which manages the legacy of the late artist, points to a specific video Kardashian posted to YouTube — that’s since been removed — but drew over 3.6 million views and featured a tour of her SKKN office in California.
“Judd Foundation categorically prohibits customers from using purchased Donald Judd furniture for marketing and promotional purposes.”
The lawsuit asks that Kardashian remove the video, which she did on Wednesday, and retract her claims the tables were Judd originals.
Members of the Judd Foundation said they contacted Kardashian three days after the video was first posted, asking for a public statement acknowledging the mistake.
Kardashian’s representatives denied the request, offering instead to make a correction in the caption and a social media post supporting the foundation. Both sides were unable to come to an agreement.
The lawsuit also names Clements Design as a defendant in the case, accusing the company of trademark and copyright infringement.
