Skechers sues maker of Bernie Mev
28/04/2016
                    Skechers is seeking compensatory and punitive damages as well as injunctive relief for infringements on patents and for breaching a previous settlement between the companies. The accusation relates to the Bernie Mev Gummies collection.
“We confronted Eliya about the Bernie Mev Gummies styles last fall when we saw them advertised and they represented to us that they made no sales of the infringing products in the United States and would not do so. However, the infringing Bernie Mev footwear is now in domestic sales channels where the Skechers products are sold, and we believe this is impacting our brand image and sales,” said David Weinberg, chief operating officer and chief financial officer of Skechers.
