Lululemon Sues Costco Over ‘Dupes' of Pants and Jackets
Lululemon is taking Costco to task for allegedly knocking off its pants, hoodies and jackets and selling the dupes at a fraction of the price. Filed Friday in a United States District Court for the Central District of California, the Canadian athleticwear brand's lawsuit alleges that Costco perpetuated trade dress infringement and unfair competition by creating its own cheaper versions of popular Lululemon products like Scuba hoodies and sweatshirts, Define jackets and ABC pants, which range in price from $98 to $128. Some of Costco's nearly-identical versions of these products retail for less than $20. More from Sourcing Journal Shein Faces Copyright Infringement Complaint from Brandy Melville QVC and Cornerstone File FMC Complaint Against ONE for Alleged Failure to Fulfill Contract Material World: MycoWorks Melds Reishi and Danish Design in Nordic Light According to Lululemon, the brand's success has given way to the rise of knockoffs of its designs, a phenomenon that's become so widespread that there is a 'LululemonDupes' hashtag on TikTok wherein users share and promote copycat products. The infringing products create an improper association with the brand, with some shoppers believing they are authentic and others specifically purchasing them because they're tough to distinguish from authentic Lululemon merchandise. Lululemon asserted that Costco has been willful and complicit in perpetuating deceptive sales practices, writing in its complaint that it had already served Costco with a cease-and-desist letter to no avail. The similarities in the products have been well-documented in the media; the Washington Post published an article titled 'Is That Hoodie a Lululemon or a Costco Dupe? No One Has to Know But You, while the New York Times ran a piece featuring the headline, 'Are These $20 Costco Pants a Lululemon Dupe? We Investigated.' The athleisure label also asserted that Costco is known to use manufacturers of popular brands' products for its own Kirkland private label. The line, which has developed its own cult following, now accounts for over one-third of Costco's sales. Neither Costco nor its manufacturers disclose the connection between Kirkland products and the original branded products—a source of ambiguity that Lululemon said 'preconditions at least some consumers into believing that private label, KIRKLAND-branded dupes are in fact manufactured by the authentic supplier of the 'original' products.' In other words, Costco consumers may believe they are getting the same product they might buy at Lululemon, just unbranded. 'Defendant does not dispel this ambiguity'—and in fact, it benefits from it, the complaint said. Now, Lululemon is seeking an award of damages in the form of lost profits, or other damages adequate to compensate for the patent infringement. It is also seeking an order permanently preventing Costco and any of its associated businesses or vendors from manufacturing, importing, advertising, marketing or selling products that infringe upon its trade dresses. The company is demanding a trial by jury.

Family, friends mourn Marissa DiNapoli in Morgan Hill as police seek boyfriend
Authorities in Morgan Hill continue to search for a man identified as a person of interest in the death of 18-year-old Marissa DiNapoli, whose body was discovered near Anderson Lake earlier this week. DiNapoli had been reported missing by her family on Monday. Her relatives and friends began their own search and located her body days later near the lake. The man being sought is Martin Mendoza, who police believe is either DiNapoli's boyfriend or ex-boyfriend. Morgan Hill Police said they have not yet located him. While Mendoza has not been officially named a suspect, DiNapoli's family believes he is responsible for her death. Marissa DiNapoli (left) was last seen on June 29, 2025, according to Morgan Hill Police. Martin Mendoza (right) has been named a person of interest in the case. Morgan Hill Police Department "I know she was struggling to get out of the relationship for a really long time. It's not like this was her first time trying to leave and stuff," said Monice Ramirez, DiNapoli's older sister. Loved ones gathered Thursday night at a vigil near the location where her body was found, remembering DiNapoli as a sweet and caring young woman. She had recently graduated from high school and was preparing to attend a local college this fall. "She was really ambitious. She was kind. And she was really warm-spirited," Ramirez said. "When I think of Marissa, I think of love, right? I think of how much I love her." Family members said the couple had been in a relationship that showed signs of abuse and domestic violence. Authorities and the family are asking for the public's help in locating Mendoza, who may be driving a white Toyota Camry. Police have released two possible license plate numbers: CW87W00 or 9PTM351. The family also shared a surveillance video on social media that appeared to show DiNapoli and Mendoza leaving a house together on Sunday morning. They said Mendoza later returned DiNapoli's car to the same house alone. "It's stuff like this that's happening that makes you not trust anybody or anything," said Lina Perez, a Morgan Hill resident who visited the makeshift memorial on Friday with her daughter to pay their respects. The tragedy has reopened emotional wounds for many in the tight-knit South Bay community, which is still haunted by the 2012 disappearance and murder of local teenager Sierra LaMar. "I just feel so bad. This is so heartbreaking. We live in the same town. And I can't even imagine what her parents are going through," Perez said. Police have not disclosed whether their search for Mendoza is focused locally or extends out of state. The investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information about Mendoza's whereabouts is urged to contact Morgan Hill Police.

US judge clears the way for imminent deportation of 8 migrants to South Sudan
By Jody Godoy and Nate Raymond (Reuters) -Eight migrants lost their last-ditch effort to halt their deportation to South Sudan by the Trump administration on Friday, clearing the way for their imminent transfer after a judge in Massachusetts denied their request. Lawyers for the U.S. Justice Department said the men were scheduled to be flown to South Sudan on Friday at 7:00 pm Eastern Time after two courts considered the request on an emergency basis on July 4, when courts are otherwise closed for the Independence Day holiday. Lawyers for the migrants had filed new claims in Washington late Thursday after the U.S. Supreme Court clarified that a judge in Massachusetts could no longer require the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to hold them. U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss in Washington paused the deportation briefly on Friday afternoon, but sent the case back to U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy in Boston. Murphy said the Supreme Court order required him to deny their bid, saying their claims that deportation was being used as a form of punishment were "substantially similar" to the ones he had ruled on previously. The order was the latest round in the fight over the legality of the Trump administration's campaign to deter immigration through high-profile deportations to countries where migrants say they face safety concerns, and which has already gone from lower courts to the Supreme Court twice. Jennie Pasquarella, a lawyer with the Seattle Clemency Project who represents the migrants, called the ruling disappointing. No court will hear their claim that the Trump administration is unconstitutionally using deportation to dangerous countries as a form of punishment, on top of criminal sentences the men have already served, she said. "Both courts' decisions today have denied them their opportunity to have these claims heard and to protect their own lives. That is what is so tragic about where we came out," she said. Pasquarella said the men do not plan to file an appeal. A spokesperson for Homeland Security did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Friday. Department of Justice attorney Hashim Mooppan told Moss during Friday's hearing that court orders halting agreed-upon deportations pose a serious problem for U.S. diplomatic relations and would make foreign countries less likely to accept transfers of migrants in the future. The men have been convicted of various crimes, with four of them convicted of murder, the Department of Homeland Security has said. South Sudan has long been dangerous even for locals. The U.S. State Department advises citizens not to travel there due to violent crime and armed conflict. The United Nations has said the African country's political crisis could reignite a brutal civil war that ended in 2018. The eight men, who their lawyers said are from Cuba, Laos, Mexico, Burma, Sudan and Vietnam, argue their deportations to South Sudan would violate the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. "It seems to me almost self-evident that the United States government cannot take human beings and send them to circumstances in which their physical well-being is at risk simply either to punish them or send a signal to others," Moss said during the hearing. But he ultimately found their new claims should be heard by the court in Massachusetts. The Friday effort to prevent the deportations came after months of back and forth between Murphy, the Supreme Court, and the Trump administration. Murphy ruled in May to block the U.S. from immediately moving the men to South Sudan after he found that officials had violated his earlier ruling in a class action lawsuit concerning the due process rights of migrants. That ruling, in April, had blocked the administration from sending migrants to countries where they have no ties without giving them the chance to raise safety concerns. The Supreme Court on June 23 put Murphy's April injunction on hold. But Murphy that same day said the high court ruling did not apply to his May order. Calling Murphy's decision a "lawless act of defiance," the Justice Department the next day urged the Supreme Court to clarify its decision. The nine-member Supreme Court on Thursday, over the dissent of two of its liberal justices, sided with the Trump administration and said its decision serves to reverse Murphy's May order blocking the deportations to South Sudan.
