Canadian company Lululemon is suing Costco, alleging that the American-based big-box wholesaler is selling knock-off versions of its yoga attire. The legal action was officially filed in California 7 days ago. Lululemon feels that Costco infringed on its intellectual property rights, patents, and trademark laws – which protect ownership of its clothing and designs. These knock-off products are commonly referred to as ‘dupes’. We dig deeper into this complex debate with Julie Zerbo in Hour 1. She founded The Fashion Law, a news outlet based in New York.

Kristy Cameron chats with Lorraine Mastersmith, who is the co-owner of Carp-based Kin Vineyards. But first, we bring you up to speed on today’s top headlines.
