Jo Malone faces £200,000 lawsuit from Estee Lauder over perfume name use

Fragrance entrepreneur Jo Malone is being sued for over £200,000 by Estee Lauder for using her own name on Zara perfumes. Estee Lauder, which owns the Jo Malone London brand, claims Malone infringed trademarks after she sold her original company to them in 1999. She launched a new business, Jo Loves, and collaborated with Zara. Malone expressed sadness and surprise, stating she sold a company, not herself, and is defending her right to use her name.
