SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 28 – Easy Spirit
sued Sketchers for stealing
its Traveltime trade dress for
Sketchers' "Commute
Time."
On February 26, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
William H. Pauley III held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Judge
Pauley had ruled in January
dismissing some claims but
allowing others to proceed.
Still Easy Spirit disputed it.
Now Judge Pauley
has ruled that Sketchers'
requested "motion for
clarification" is not needed;
any motion to amend the
pleading to include claims
regarding Sketchers' Commute
mark would be futile.
On April 9, Judge
Pauley held another
conference, and Inner City
Press again covered it. The
parties had submitted lists of
witnesses, but only one of the
two had distinguished "Will
Call" from "May Call." Judge
Pauley made a referral to
Magistrate Judge Ona T. Wang,
and ordered that motions in
limine are due May 19.
The case is Easy
Spirit, LLC v. Skechers
U.S.A., Inc. et al.,
19-cv-3299 (Pauley)
