Looks like Madonna and her daughter Lordes have a fight on their hands over the line of clothes for teenagers they’ve created for Macy’s that just recently launched.

Apparently, a California based clothing company called LA Triumph is claiming they’ve used the name Material Girl since 1997, for a line they say is similar in style, price, and availability. 

Lawyers for LA Triumph went to court on Thursday and filed a suit, demanding that The Big M and Macy’s change the name and hand over all profits to them (of course) saying that this creates “deception” in the market.

Considering that Madonna coined the phrase “Material Girl” 26 years ago, wouldn’t she own rights to it?  Will the judge presiding over the case notice when word of  Madonna and Lourde’s line and it’s moniker made the news months ago, LA Triumph remained strangely silent over the matter?  What exactly where they waiting for?  Questions, questions….

Besides being exposed to business meetings and the inner workings of the fashion industry, guess Lourdes is also getting her first exposure to corporate dust-ups.  Welcome to the big league, kid.

Whichever way this suit goes (instinct says it’ll be dismissed) Madonna won’t be hurting for money.  Rumour is the big M is being offered $1 BILLION for a five year Las Vegas residency at Ceasar’s Palace.
