Louis Vuitton flower has a circle in the middle. And since when did companies start trademarking flowers?!

Remember the word “Scrolls” that Mojang trying to trademark then got sued by Bethesda for that? I member. Trademark can be filed on anything, and since LV filed a 4 petals flower in that angle, shape, and colour, what Molly Tea does is basically walked into LV’s trap card. Molly Tea also tried to file a trademark for that 4 petals flower, they’re not a good guy either. They know exactly what they’re trying to do.
