Back in January, we reported that Massachusetts based glass artist Tom Patti had filed a copyright infringement suit against Diddy and designers James Gager and Johan Liden over the casing of the Sean John Unforgivable fragrance.

Well, court proceedings have begun and Stephanie Berry of The Republican has the story.

One of the more noteworthy revelations is the fact that Patti offered a "settlement" which would allow him to claim one third of the wholesale sales, which seems ludicrously high and skin to saying that the inspiration that Patti's designs allegedly provided were directly responsible for at least half of all sales, when you consider that wholesale numbers would not include expenses in development, marketing and elsewhere.

Defensive lawyer Barbara A. Solomon, representing Diddy, called the offer "ridiculous" and said that Unforgivable "hasn't made a dime," which is an interesting assertion. It also seems like an odd one. I've e-mailed Ms. Solomon in an effort to verify this statement.

"I think they’re looking at a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow that does not exist," Solomon also said, according to Berry. The trial has not yet been given a date.

Speaking to QDEEZY.COM, Kid Cudi revealed that he got a job at Wendy's at age 15 so that he could buy Sean John. He thinks he was the first to rock Sean John in his high school.

Just as they did last year, Sean John designed the jackets given to the 2009 inductees of the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame, reports NBA.com's John Schuhmann.

Earlier today, I mentioned a video of Diddy and Vogue magazine Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, in which Diddy mentioned there would be music, drinks and, most importantly, shopping at the Sean John store on 5th Avenue in New York City for Fashion's Night Out. The Sean John blog has details on this, including a giveaway and the ability to donate any old Sean John item to receive 30% off a new Sean John item.
