Mojave Desert Holdings has been allowed to substitute U.S.A Dawgs in the appeal case following its acquisition of all U.S.A Dawgs assets in 2018 after the sandal-maker’s bankruptcy.
Crocs contested that Mojave Holdings should act as substitute for the case. It also claimed Mojave lacks standing in picking up U.S.A Dawg’s appeal case as it does not face a potential suit.
The Crocs figurative patent is filed under US number D517,789 and includes a single claim for “ornamental design for footwear”. According to the company, this patent is the basis for its “iconic clog design”.
