Experience
- Converse Inc. v. Skechers U.S.A., Inc. (ITC, E.D.N.Y). Represented Skechers in a trademark infringement lawsuit on remand at the ITC. Skechers’ Twinkle Toes, BOBS, and Hydee Hytop sneakers were found not to infringe Converse’s claimed trademark. In addition, as a result of the litigation, Converse was forced to significantly narrow the originally asserted scope of its claimed trademark in order to preserve its validity.
