Lopez And Anthony File $5 Million Lawsuit

Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony are suing a British pram company for $5 million (£3.47 million) for allegedly using the couple's image to promote their range.

The pair filed a trademark infringement lawsuit in a Los Angeles district court on Wednesday (25Feb09), claiming executives at Silver Cross had used a snap of them with their one year old twins, Max and Emme, in their strollers without prior permission.

The suit claims the British manufacturing firm used the photograph of the famous family online and in advertisements, thereby deceiving the public into "believing that Lopez and Anthony endorse and sponsor" the brand.

Lopez and Anthony are seeking at least $5 million (£3.47 million) in damages, a permanent injunction against any further use of their namesor images in the company's advertising, and any money that may have been made by allegedly using the couple as unwitting spokesmodels.
