Last October, Converse filed a lawsuit to prevent 32 companies from infringing their trademarks, and accused brands such as Skechers, Walmart, K-Mart, FILA, Ed Hardy, and Ralph Lauren to steal their companies' trademark Converse Chuck Taylor.

All the Converse owned by Nike protested.

Brand plagiarism

Its brand classic shoe style stripes and toes style, and pointed out that its brand design was founded in 1917, which was named after the basketball star /Converse salesman Chuck Taylor, and was then used by the classic rock band Nirvana's lead singer and guitarist Kurt Cobain helping hand, and was eventually applied to the world's high fashion.

At present, Ralph Lauren Corp. and Converse Inc. have reached an agreement to jointly apply for the end of the case.

According to the ITC documents, the case remained unresolved before the US International Trade Commission.

According to the WWD report, under the agreement, Ralph Lauren will destroy all Converse copycat products.

According to the ITC survey, a total of 36

The shoe style infringes on the Converse trademark, including washable canvas shoes, Western leather, camouflage leather shoes and bleached jeans cloth shoes.

Within 30 days after the entry into force of the agreement, Ralph Lauren must remove these products, including parts, tools and moulds that make up products, and advertising and fast selling materials have been packaged for irregularities.

Ralph Lauren will also pay a certain amount of compensation to Converse, but the amount of payment is not specified in the public version of the settlement agreement.

The main concern of Converse is to put an end to the impostor Chucks, but the accusation of trademark infringement is hard to prove in the global fashion world. As New York Times pointed out, the company must prove to consumers that these specific designs come from the designated brand, and that this design is not only a part of many fashion trends.

Companies can not legally register their functional design, but Chuck Taylors is obviously very clear about the details of Converse design, even if Ralph Lauren's copycat version can not be imitated.
