Skechers USA Inc. Vows to Defend Against Kizik's Patent Lawsuit Over Hands-Free Footwear Technology

Skechers USA Inc., a leader in hands-free footwear technology, is engaged in a legal battle with Kizik Design, LLC over alleged patent infringement. Kizik claims that Skechers' entire line of Hands Free Slip-ins® infringes on its patents, asserting that it pioneered the hands-free footwear category. Skechers refutes these allegations, describing them as baseless and a strategic move following its recent $9.42 billion merger announcement with 3G Capital. Skechers maintains that it has developed its own Slip-ins technology, holding over 140 utility and design patents globally. The company plans to aggressively defend its position and challenge both the validity of Kizik's patents and their infringement claims.
