"Last Word"-3 Ring Lawsuit

SUSIE GHARIB: And finally tonight, the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey circus isn't clowning around when it comes to its slogan. The entertainment company is suing beauty products seller Sephora and its parent, Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessey, claiming trademark infringement. The circus calls itself "the greatest show on earth."
