Fine art tattooist and legend Don Ed Hardy filed a lawsuit against designer Christian Audigier for over $100 million in damages for various cases, including trademark infringement, breach of contract, unfair competition and cybersquatting.
Hardy claimed that Audigier did not pay the promised amounts in the licensing agreement, moreover Audigier also violated sub-licensing clauses by making deals against the terms of their contract. Hardy terminated the contract last August 2008 but Audigier continued to distribute the brand in violation of Hardy's trademark.
