Louis Vuitton has won a lawsuit against a Britney Spears music video for featuring their trademark logo without their permission.
The pop star is seen driving a Hummer and tapping her fingers on dashboard that resembles Vuitton's Cherry Blossoms design in her video for Do Something.
A Paris civil court ordered Sony BMG and MTV Online to stop broadcasting or marketing the video and fined them 80,000 euros (£57,549) apiece.
They were also found guilty of violating counterfeiting laws. Spears herself was not fined or found guilty.
It was not immediately clear how the ban would be enforced, or whether the companies would appeal.
Louis Vuitton, whose signature bags have been counterfeited worldwide, has fought vigorously to protect its trademark goods.
