Lidl, interdicție să vândă sandalele care imită modelele unui celebru brand de modă. Decizie a instanței privind „designul tălpii interioare”, în Olanda

A Dutch court has ruled that Lidl must stop selling sandals that imitate Birkenstock designs, risking a daily fine of €5,000. The court found Lidl violated Birkenstock's trademark regarding the design of the sandals' insoles. Lidl is also required to compensate Birkenstock for legal costs and provide sales data. Birkenstock emphasized the importance of protecting creativity and innovation against imitations. This ruling follows a series of legal decisions favoring Birkenstock, highlighting ongoing disputes in the fashion industry over design imitation.
