The District Court also declined to grant Asics injunctive relief on its trade dress infringement claim, which was limited to one of the four Skechers styles in issue, the Skechers Showdowns. The court found that there was no evidence of actual confusion or that Skechers had intentionally copied Asics' design.
Paccione continued, “In light of this resounding victory, Skechers has decided to focus its resources on bringing this infringement case to a successful and prompt conclusion, and will consider recourse for Asics' anti-competitive and other wrongful conduct at a later date.”
Skechers was represented in the matter by Marshall Lerner, Brad Mattes and Philip Nulud of Kleinberg & Lerner of Los Angeles, California.
