The company has asked for damages, and also wants the rapper's business to stop selling the items, as well as surrender and destroy the ones that have already been made.
Kanye, 40, is not the only one in his family to have been accused of ripping off someone else's designs lately.
News of the lawsuit comes just as his wife Kim Kardashian, 37, faces claims that she ripped off Kylie Jenner's range of concealers while designing her own Conceal, Bake & Brighten kits, scheduled to go on sale later this month as part of her KKW Beauty venture.
Some fans found it suspicious for Kim to release a range of concealers when her sister has already done so, and took to Twitter to air their comments.
'Why is Kim Kardashian bringing out concealer kits when Kylie’s already got concealers out?' one person wrote. 'I don’t get it why copy your sister, surely there’s something different you can think to release?'
'I feel like there’s a sister feud between Kim and Kylie,' someone else noted, 'now Kim is about to sell concealer.'
