In December of 2021, New York-based designer David Yurman filed a lawsuit against venture capital-backed Mejuri for ‘copying’ several distinctive jewellery designs that bore similarities with Yurman’s Pure Form and Sculpted Cable collections.
According to reporting from Rapaport News, Judge Ronnie Abrams of the US District Court in New York closed the case on Tuesday without costs to any party via court order.
The filing did not disclose the terms of the settlement and spokespeople for the two companies declined to comment.
David Yurman previously accused Mejuri of taking “steps to falsely associate itself with Yurman through its promotional messages, advertising campaigns and artwork, and partnerships.”
Mejuri denied these claims and in March of last year, filed a countersuit alleging that David Yurman’s original lawsuit was “an attempt to bully an emerging competitor, monopolize common design motifs, and prevent competition from one of the fastest-growing fine jewellery brands in a rapidly evolving industry.”
Should either party wish to resume the lawsuit they made file an application to restore the action within the next 30 days.
