New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has reportedly sent Khloe Kardashian a letter informing her that a design on one of her t-shirts is too similar to a logo currently under copyright. <\/p>\n

The design shows the Statue of Liberty above a row of crops, which is almost exactly like a logo made for the Department of Agriculture’s “Pride of New York” campaign. Cuomo’s office says that if Khloe doesn’t stop selling the shirt within five days, the state will file a lawsuit. <\/p>\n

“The State of New York has invested substantial time, effort and resources creating the respect and goodwill associated with the trademark,” the letter reads<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kardashian created the shirts as part of the “Rich Soil” clothing line she began with husband Lamar Odom; the tees go for about $35 apiece. The “Pride of New York”<\/a> logo was created in order to easily identify locally grown foods, so it’s no surprise that the governor doesn’t want Khloe’s clothing line confused with the initiative. <\/p>\n
