To be honest, I thought Paris Hilton had finally died because she's been out of the media for so long now, but Gwyneth Shoes has brought her back from the dead with a lawsuit. TMZ reports:
According to docs filed last week in Seattle, a company called Gwyneth Shoes is suing Paris over part of her new shoe design -- a heart-shaped pad on the insole -- claiming the idea was theirs first.
Gwyneth Shoes claims they filed to patent the heart cushion idea back in 2007 -- months before Paris' shoes launched in February 2008.
Gwyneth Shoes is suing for trademark and patent infringement ... and get this: they want Paris to hand over every last one of the allegedly infringing shoes -- which probably number in the thousands.

I didn't even know you could trademark something like that. I guess I better stop production of my board game in which players compete to purchase properties and pass Go for 200 dollars. That was my ticket to riches too. Either that or a jump to conclusions mat.
