A month later, Sitch <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2011\/09\/10\/the-situation-jersey-shore-abercrombie-and-fitch-cease-and-desist-letter-gtl-tshirts-trademark-infringement\"><strong>sued the company<\/strong><\/a>, claiming it ripped off his &#8220;GTL&#8221; and &#8220;Situation&#8221; trademarks on a line of guido-mocking t-shirts (<em>below<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ll-media.tmz.com\/2011\/09\/09\/0909-the-fituation-af.jpg\" alt=\"Abercrombie &#038; Fitch GTL and Fitchuation T-shirts\" \/><br \/>But now, A&#038;F is trying to put an end to the back-and-forth &#8212; claiming Sitch had no right to sue them in the first place &#8230; because he doesn&#8217;t technically own the trademarks in question &#8230; he only applied for them.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more &#8212; A&#038;F claims Situation&#8217;s application for &#8220;Gym Tan Laundry&#8221; has actually been suspended &#8230; because MTV already owns &#8220;Gym Tanning Laundry,&#8221; and the US Patent &#038; Trademark Office thinks they&#8217;re too similar.<\/p>\n<p>But trademarks aside &#8212; A&#038;F insists its shirts are still protected under a law that allows parody as part of free speech &#8230; in other words, the shirts were obviously a harmless joke &#8230; albeit at the Situation&#8217;s expense.<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line, A&#038;F is hoping to avoid further litigation by citing an often incontrovertible fact &#8230; The Situation is full of crap.
