This is pretty amusing. Abercrombie & Fitch (NYSE: ANF) is claiming rights to the number 22. No seriously, this isn't a Sesame Street episode or anything. From the Associated Press:
Abercrombie & Fitch says its Hollister stores own the number 22.
The New Albany-based company has sued rival retailer American Eagle Outfitters, seeking to prevent it from using the number on its clothing.
The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Columbus asks a judge to order American Eagle to stop using 22 - or anything similar - on its clothing and advertising, destroy any clothes or ads the use the number and pay Hollister for any profits from those items.
Hollister says it owns the number 22 because it has appeared on the chain's clothing since it opened three years ago.
Stop laughing. Really. It's not that funny... =P
