Birkenstock to take small-scale factories to court

Birkenstock
  • Legal representatives have seized suspected counterfeit Birkenstock footwear from small-scale factories in India.
  • The action follows an infringement lawsuit filed by the German brand in the Delhi High Court against four footwear traders, four factories and two unnamed individuals.
  • A Delhi judge issued an order in May, appointing lawyers as commissioners to visit the factories in Agra and New Delhi to seize infringing products.
  • The judge noted that the alleged counterfeit products appeared to be "cheap knockoffs" that could easily deceive the public.
  • The visits have been completed, with reports submitted to the court, and the next hearing in the case is scheduled for October 6.
