Victoria Beckham Loses VB Trademark Battle, Keeps Smiling

0:00It's April 23rd, I'm Cory with the story. This is entertainment and celebrity news today, driven by AI and built for the culture. Victoria Beckham just dropped her trademark fight against US handbag giant Vera Bradley over the initials VB. The fashion designer had tried to block them from using those letters, since VB is the logo for her own beauty line. But her team filed to withdraw the opposition, letting Vera Bradley move forward with their application. Vera Bradley pulls in about 200 million pounds a year in sales, started back in 1982 by two founders. Victoria's lawyers argued her global fame with VB would confuse shoppers into thinking her crew designed the bags. They even asked for extra time to build their case, but in the end, they backed off. Despite the legal L, Victoria seemed all smiles at the Time 100 Summit in New York this week. The 52-year-old shared fun behind the scenes snaps on Instagram, rocking a mighty dress from her own brand with pink heels and shades.

Earlier, she lost a similar battle in Norway against model Vindela Kiersebaum's Beauty brand, which also uses a VB logo. Courtsdale said Victoria couldn't prove enough local fame or sales just in that country. Beckham's keeping the good vibes rolling in New York after Miami, proving business VB's don't dim her style game. She's still owning the spotlight, one poised pose at a time.
