Kim Kardashian's company Kimsaprincess Inc.. got slapped with$100 million lawsuits on Monday by a guy named Hooshmand Harooni who says he got a patent back in 2013 for an "integrated lighting accessory and case for a mobile phone device." Kim Kardashian use and promotion of an illuminated smartphone case is totally ripping off the guy who invented it, and he says he has receipts to prove it.
No doubt you've seen Kim flaunt the LuMee on her social media. She says it helps her take perfectly lit selfies obviously, a major asset in her world. She even used it for her famous selfies with Hillary Clinton. If that sounds familiar, that's because it's a perfect description of the LuMee.
The problem is that Harooni licensed his invention to a company called Snaplight, which is now getting buried in sales. Snaplight and Harooni say LuMee jacked their patented technology and made it an unfair fight by teaming up with an incredible trendsetter like Kim.
In the docs, Snaplight says Kim is getting a cut of LuMee's sizable profits and now it wants a wodge of that cheddar too. The company says $100 million will cover its lost profits.
