"Quince's complaint alleges that 'Deckers is trying to prevent lawful competition through 'template' lawsuits.' Quince accuses Deckers of operating a 'litigation assembly line' by churning out template complaints asserting exclusive rights over basic and unprotectable product features."
"In the earlier litigation, Deckers pointed out that Quince did not have any footwear designers on staff, even as it offered a number of models that were dupes of top-selling Uggs products."
Quince has filed a complaint against Deckers Footwear, alleging that Deckers uses template lawsuits to stifle competition and maintain its market position. Quince claims Deckers operates a 'litigation assembly line' to assert exclusive rights over unprotectable product features. This complaint marks a shift from previous litigation where Deckers sued Quince for trade dress and design patent infringement. Quince aims to leverage its earlier legal victories to counter Deckers' claims and challenge the validity of Deckers' design patent.
