Recently I read an article about the lawsuit started by Cartier against Raymond Weill because of alledged infringement of copyrights. Apparently, RW "copied" some distinctive features of Cartier's Ballonbleu watch and reproduced them in a watch - the Jasmine - that looks similar but which is not a rep or straight "copy" of the original Cartier.
Who draws the line defining if a watch is a copy or not ?
I wonder how many watch manufacturers should Rolex sue if it came to fight for copyright infringement of the venerable "Datejust." concept.
