Death in Venice for Crocs shape mark
We have covered various aspects of the Crocs saga over the years. Thanks once more to Hogan Lovells, and particularly to Maria Luce Piattelli and Maria Luigia Franceschelli, for an Italian update from Venice, this time concerning a shape mark for those gorgeous plastic clogs. Result: trade mark invalid as the shape, though ugly, added value. Crocs lost the trade mark but won the case because unfair competition was found. Read the Lovells article here for more information.
