Halle Berry claims an Italian watch company used to her name and image in their ads without her permission, but in exclusive court documents obtained by Breaking Celebrity News, Toywatch and Triboo Digitale companies are firing back at the actress claiming she has no case.

In a legal response filed on Dec. 6, 2013, the watch companies deny each and every allegation made by Berry, 47, claiming the privacy laws "do not apply to the acts of these Defendants that occurred outside of the United States."

The watch companies argue that all infringement, trademark and logo laws do no apply to them because the ads were published in Italy, and therefore they are "protected by the doctrine of nominative fair use."

Berry filed the lawsuit on Oct. 30, 2013 seeking $2 million and asked for an injunction making it impossible for the company to use her likeness in any way.
