Has Diddy Ever Had An Original Idea??? Tries To Beat Copyright Case Over Sean John Cologne!!!

Diddy is facing a copyright infringement lawsuit over the design of his Sean John Unforgivable cologne, that could turn the successful fragrance into a pricy mistake. Pop the hood for details.

It doesn’t take a fine arts expert to see the similarities between Tom Patti’s 1981 sculpture “Compacted Gray With Clear and Ribs” and a bottle of Sean John Unforgivable cologne, but lawyers for Diddy are hoping they can get the lawsuit dismissed by blaming a Brooklyn based art magazine “The Urban Glass Quarterly” for planting the idea in the artist’s head.

Lawyers for Sean “Diddy” Combs filed papers in Brooklyn federal court last week asking a judge to compel The Urban Glass Quarterly to hand over all of the notes journalist Frida Hognabba took for her 2008 article.

“The article appears to have been conceived entirely by the Glass Quarterly parties, who approached [Patti] . . . with a suggestion that [Diddy's] fragrance package copied Tom Patti’s works,” Combs lawyers wrote in court papers.

We don’t blame Diddy or his lawyers for trying to get out of the suit. We’re pretty sure a judgment in Patti’s favor will be a pretty pricy one. Keep in mind that sculpture of his was valued at $40,000 in 2006 when it was displayed at the Heller Gallery in Chelsea.

Considering Diddy’s penchant for jacking samples for pretty much the entire Bad Boy catalog, from where we’re sitting there’s a pretty good chance he’s gonna have to pay up.

Where’s Kim Porter? It’s looking like karma is about to catch up with her baby daddy…

    wow…i hope it works out for everyone…It does have similarities, but I think sometimes when they put their teams to work on these things they do not expect this type of outcome…i believe that they put too much trust in these people…

    Well, it wouldn’t be the first time. Diddy’s whole Empire is stolen from others.

    And I agree it looks a lot like the sculpture.

    Personally, I don’t care for him but how many ways can you design a perfume/colgne bottle? If it was copyrighted, he needs to pay up!!! Then, he needs to get it together and quit being so full of himself. Confidence is attractive, arrogance is not.

    diddy’s might not get away w/ it scot-free as he/his company has the money to pay up. damn i miss my boo.

  • Love Hangover

    i meant diddy not diddy’s… sorry for the typo. i got the flu y’all…

  • AUGUSTUS

    THE FOLKS WHO CLAIM THAT DIDDY HAS NO ORIGINAL IDEAS MUST HAVE BEEN BORN IN THE YEAR 2000. ANYONE FROM 1990 ON BACK KNOW THAT THIS IS A LIE. IT IS A SHAME THAT SOME JEALOUS PEOPLE JUST LOVE TO SIT BACK AND HATE. THEY CAN NOT HAVE WHAT DIDDY HAS HATE HIM FOR BEING A SUCCESS. THE LADY WHO CALLS DIDDY WHACK, HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE YOU EMPLOYING, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HELP SOMEONE. WHO KNOWS YOU BESIDES THOSE OF US WHO READ YOUR LAMEBRAIN MESSAGE. IF HE HAD THE SAME FRAGRANCE, AN ISSUE, BUT A BOTTLE, NO. SOME OF YOU LOSERS JUST HATE TO SEE SOMEONE A SUCCESS WHILE YOU ARE LOSERS. GET A LIFE!

    To sue over that is just plain silly. Then again, it isn’t my sculpture. What do I kno? LoL

    Now Creed should go after him for stealing the top notes of Millesime Imperial and calling it Unforgivable. People if you’re ever in Neiman Marcus, go sample a bottle of Creed’s Millesime Imperial. P. Shitty blantantly ripped if off. Millesime Imperial is much more classy though, worth the $210.00 price tag.

    Plagueis The Wise : You are on top of your game. And although I might agree with you, when discussing fragrances – top notes, etc. – many of today’s most successful brands and houses are creatures of habit. Oddly, I tried reaching out to several of Diddy’s colleagues and legal team because I know the information I wield would help him have the case dismissed. It’s unfortunate that people sitting high don’t realize that everything burns from the ground up. I could have helped. I still can.

    The only originaly idea Sean has ever had was to . . . . .well, cant think of one. LOL!
