What happened
A cosmetics seller settled a Hello Kitty infringement suit on a consent decree, one of many in the 2023 cosmetics wave.
Outcome
Consent decree and permanent injunction before Judge Fernando M. Olguin.
The legal nuance
Hello Kitty makeup is a repeat flashpoint; the license is valuable and widely faked.
