Today, On 14th November, The Supreme Court refused to consider petitions by Bata and Liberty against a Delhi High Court decision restoring Crocs’ passing off suits. This ruling clears the path for Crocs to continue its legal proceedings against several Indian footwear manufacturers.
The Delhi High Court has revived Crocs’ passing off lawsuits against major Indian footwear brands, reversing a previous dismissal. The court mandated a full trial to evaluate claims that these companies copied Crocs’ iconic foam clog design. The ruling allows Crocs another opportunity to argue its trademark protection claims.
