"The publication in question is called , which is where the legal questions begin. As Air Mail's Carolina de Armas reports, Condé Nast has filed a lawsuit against the California-based "dog fashion magazine," arguing that it violates the trademark of Vogue and could cause confusion between the two publications. (Presumably, "one has people on the cover and the other has dogs on the cover" is not a viable legal strategy.)"
"As Air Mail notes, Dogue was founded in 2019 and is currently sold at exactly one newsstand, in Beverly Hills. To be fair, it has featured some celebrities along with their canine companions, including Paris Hilton and Kevin Costner. Complicating matters is the fact that Vogue has also used "Dogue" for an online feature that debuted in 2024. Condé Nast filed their lawsuit on Dec. 5. Thus far, the case has not yet gone to trial."
Condé Nast filed a lawsuit against Dogue, a California-based dog fashion magazine, alleging trademark infringement and potential consumer confusion with Vogue. Dogue launched in 2019 and is sold at a single Beverly Hills newsstand, having featured celebrities and their canine companions, including Paris Hilton and Kevin Costner. Vogue used the term "Dogue" for an online feature in 2024, and Condé Nast filed the suit on Dec. 5; the case has not gone to trial. A separate trademark issue involved a new Gourmet edition after Condé Nast did not renew that trademark, which Ruth Reichl supported.
