Yummie Tummie Wins Motion

The Northern District Court of Georgia on Tuesday ruled in favor of Yummie Tummie in their complaint against Spanx Inc. reports WWD.

This spring we reported that the initial suit over the patent for the shapewear came to a head. Heather Thomson, president of Times Three Clothier LLC and creator of the Yummie Tummie, "fired her first salvo against Spanx and its founder, Sara Blakely, on Tuesday by countersuing the Atlanta-based firm with a patent infringement complaint in Southern District Court of New York. Times Three also filed a motion to transfer or 'stay' a declaratory judgment filed by Spanx in the Northern District Court of Georgia on March 5. In the lawsuit, Spanx contends that its products, including The Total Taming Tank, The Top This Tank style and The Top This Cami style, 'have not infringed and do not infringe any valid claim of the patents-in-suit.'"
