They are both customer focused companies? The respective owners know each other / are related? The brands are distinctive enough and discerning consumers are not fooled?
Just thinking: but most importantly, if the brand is focused on customer satisfaction and customers are not confused, then sue will only profit the lawyers and will not change status quo.

Also, assuming Hermes existed before COACH, then if not sure like after WW2 (end 1945), what is there to sue now like > half century too late. Average man would also be sophisticated enough to distinguish based on the Roman characters: so each trademark is sufficiently unique.

One is horse pulling carriage. The other is carriage pulling the horae. Difference is night and day

It is notable that Coach does not own and it doesn’t appear Coach or any predecessors ever tried to federally-register the non-verbal element of its horse-drawn carriage logo, do you suppose the principles set forth in Section 1207.01(c) of the TMEP explain why?

“When the marks at issue are both design marks, the similarity of the marks must be decided primarily on the basis of visual similarity. E.g., In re Vienna Sausage Mfg. Co., 16 USPQ2d 2044, 2047 (TTAB 1990). In this situation, consideration must be given to the fact that the marks usually will not be viewed side-by-side in the marketplace and a purchaser’s recollection of design marks is often of a general, rather than specific, nature; thus the marks may be confusingly similar despite differences between them. See, e.g., In re United Serv. Distribs., Inc., 229 USPQ 237 (TTAB 1986) (holding mark consisting of a design featuring silhouettes of a man and woman, used in connection with distributorship services in the field of health and beauty aids, and mark consisting of a design featuring silhouettes of a man and woman, used in connection with skin cream, likely to cause confusion).”

I see an automated robot on wheels dragging the reluctant horse into the slaughter house. The man behind is slightly amused to see the animal protesting in vain

It a funny thing to use horse drawn carriage for a brand of handbags. Carry it means you are the horse! :biggrin:
