So New York and Company is suing JcPenny because they stole their trademark of "NYC Style" however, the quesion is does New York and Company truly have a legal trademark on this phrase? New York and Company has spent over 6 million in advertising for the company with the particular phrase. It will be interesting to see how this one ends up!
