Polo Ralph Lauren loses battle

Polo Ralph Lauren has lost a legal battle in which it tried to stop both the US polo association and a rival clothing company from using a logo which resembled Ralph Laurens own trademark polo horseman.

David Cummings, president of USPA Properties, said:

“Since 1984, the US Polo Association has been trying to co-exist with Polo Ralph Lauren, but it appears they wanted nothing more than a monopoly on the sport. That has ended today with this ruling.”
