LASKER, District Judge.
Lauratex Textile Corp. is a textile converter, which prepares and produces new designs for printing on fabric sold to garment manufacturers. Lauratex sues Allton Knitting Mills, Inc., another textile converter, and its president and operating head, Martin Levine, for allegedly copying Laura-tex’s design known as “Pattern # 36790 Show-Off” (Plaintiff’s Exhibit 3).
