Birkenstock initiates legal action against rivals alleging sandal designs are 'applied art'

Credited from: THEGUARDIAN

  • Birkenstock has filed lawsuits against rival companies accused of copying its sandal designs, claiming these shoes are works of applied art.
  • The case is being adjudicated by Germany’s federal court of justice, which will determine the legal standing of the sandal designs.
  • The company’s lawyers argue that copyright law should apply, similar to protections for other artistic creations like furniture and cars.
  • Four specific models are under legal scrutiny, including the Arizona and Gizeh sandals, which have seen a rise in popularity as fashion items.
  • This legal battle follows two conflicting lower court rulings regarding the artistic status of the footwear.
