Victoria's Secret Settles Copyright Infringement Suit

L Brands’ lingerie chain Victoria's Secret has settled a copyright infringement suit by Debra MacKinnon, the principal of intimate apparel company Zephyrs and inventor of a kidney-shaped, silicone bra insert. The suit, filed in January in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, said that MacKinnon came up with the idea for the insert in 2008 while visiting the International Lingerie Show in Paris. Afterward, the suit alleged that Victoria's Secret copied the invention.
