Skechers has filed a lawsuit against Eliya, the maker of Bernie Mev footwear, for marketing and distributing footwear that allegedly infringes on its Skech-Air by Skechers product line. The suit, which has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, states that Eliya is selling the infringing products as part of its Bernie Mev Gummies collection. The suit seeks compensatory and punitive damages as well as injunctive relief for infringing on multiple Skechers' patents and the unique Skech-Air by Skechers trade dress, and for breaching a prior settlement agreement between the parties on the Skech-Air by Skechers footwear design.
