"A clothing company is taking legal action against &lt;strong&gt;Madonna&lt;/strong&gt;, claiming the material girl has ripped off the \"Material Girl\" trademark.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2010/08/19/0819-madonna-logo-ex-getty-credit.jpg\" alt=\"0819_madonna_logo_EX_getty\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;L.A. Triumph, Inc&lt;/strong&gt;. claims in a new lawsuit it's been marketing \"Material Girl\" clothing since 1997, selling millions of bucks worth of threads under its trademark.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the documents, obtained by TMZ, Madonna, aka Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone, has jacked the name \"Material Girl\" for her junior clothing line Material Girl Brand -- which launched this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L.A. Triumph wants a declaration from a federal judge that Madonna's use of \"Material Girl\" creates \"deception\" in the marketplace.&amp;#160; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition to the declaration, L.A. Triumph wants the judge to order Madonna and her company to turn over all of the profits they've made from their clothing line. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We've called Madonna's rep.&amp;#160; So far, no comment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- relatedlinks --&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://photos.toofab.com/galleries/material_girl_clothing_line_launch#tab=fab_fashion\"&gt;&lt;img src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2010/08/19/0819-madonna-photo-launch-ex-getty-2.jpg\" alt=\"0819_madonna_PHOTO_launch_EX_getty_2\" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
