A Picture is Worth...$100 Million Print
Thursday, August 24 2017

How much is a selfie picture worth? If it's of reality star Kim Kardashian, one company claims it's $100 million.

According to news reports, Snaplight, a company that makes cell phone cases with LED lights, and Hooshmand Harooni, the purported inventor of the product, are suing Kardashian and her company, Kimsaprincess Inc., alleging that the reality star's use and promotion of a similar product, the LuMee case, violates their patent.

In the lawsuit, Snaplight claims it is very difficult to compete in the selfie case market because of Kardashian's large social media following. The legal documents further note that Kardashian receives a cut of LuMee's profits for being a spokesperson and Harooni claims he should as well. The lawsuit seeks $100 million in damages and a demand that Kardashian quit promoting and using the LuMee product.

A representative for Kardashian calls the lawsuit ridiculous, adding, "The patent lawsuit filed by Snaplight has no merit and is just another attempted shakedown. Kim has done absolutely nothing wrong."
