ARTICLE

SAN FRANCISCO and NEW YORK (Reuters) - A battle between the pop star and the fashion brand just turned fierce.

Abercrombie & Fitch Co, the apparel retailer known for sexy advertising and casual looks, has sued the singer Beyonce Knowles, claiming her plan for a new fragrance to be launched in early 2010 infringes on its existing trademark.

In a federal lawsuit filed on Tuesday in Columbus, Ohio, Abercrombie claims a fragrance under the singer's "Sasha Fierce" label "poses a likelihood of confusion" with the retailer's own "Fierce" brand.

It said such confusion could deprive it of control over a trademark it has used since 2002, and perhaps cost it sales. The lawsuit seeks to halt potential trademark infringement, unfair competition and deceptive trade practices.

Representatives of Knowles did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Best known for clothing sold to teens and college-age adults, New Albany, Ohio-based Abercrombie said it has sold more than $190 million worth of fragrance under the Fierce name, and expects $64 million of sales in 2009.

Abercrombie sells Fierce at more than 350 retail stores and on its website, typically for $40 to $70 in bottles featuring a young man's muscular, nude torso. The fragrance is sprayed throughout stores via a scent machine or by store employees.

"A&F's intent is that all garments that leave the store have the FIERCE scent attached to them," the complaint said.

The company markets Fierce as a men's cologne whose "fresh citrus aroma" and "warm musky subtleness" will "naturally draw her curiosity because of its seductive nature."

A saleswoman at a San Francisco store nonetheless described it as a "unisex" scent.

WHO IS MORE FIERCE?

Fragrance maker Coty Inc has signed an agreement to market Knowles' fragrance.

Knowles, often known solely by her first name, is one of the world's best-known singers, after having risen to fame as lead singer of the group Destiny's Child.

Last November, her album "I am ... Sasha Fierce" debuted at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart. On Sunday, the song "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" from that album won the Video of the Year award at the MTV Video Music Awards.

In English vernacular "fierce" means "cool" or "fabulous."

The case is Abercrombie & Fitch Co v. Knowles, U.S. District Court, Southern District of Ohio (Columbus), No. 09-807.

    I would look on Myspace or Facebook because almost everyone has one or the other and if the have one you could find out a lot about someone by the picture and comments they post online. Something you could find that makes you want to not find them is maybe half nude pictures, or pictures of them with weapons, or anything of that nature.

    A group of girls were fighting with one of their friends, Nicole. They created a “Rate Nicole” group on a social networking site. They posted embarrassing photos of Nicole from middle school and high school and invited their hundreds of “friends” to join the group to look at the photos, and tell Nicole how she stacked up. Cruel and crude comments were posted on the group’s message board. One message said that some girls were planning to beat up Nicole. At school, Nicole got text messages on her cell phone saying, “Take a look at what everyone thinks of you.”

    What’s the Problem?
    People were using the internet to get back at Nicole

    What emotions do you think Nicole felt when she saw the photos and read all the comments online?
    She was probably feeling mad that someone would take it as far a posting photos online of her a long time ago. also she was probably depressed that everyone turned against her over a little fight.

    She probably felt scared that she has to watch her back

    How do you think this situation affected the learning environment of the school?
    Everyone was probably more worried about whats going to happen to Nicole that they didn't pay attention in the classroom.

    What advice you would you give Nicole?
    I would tell her that things could be a lot worst and that she should either go to the principal or the police

    What advice would you give the girls who created the group?
    I would tell them to try and shut down the blog before things get out of control and that they should try and resolve things with Nicole.

    What could you do if you witnessed a similar situation online that made you worried?
    I would tell someone
