Avoiding future displays of a counterfeit outsole of a shoe

During a shoe industry trade show, our client Nimco discovered that Spring Footwear was promoting a new line of shoes that incorporated Nimco's proprietary outsole design. The counterfeit outsole was identical to Nimco's outsole in every way, not only encompassing the design elements, but also containing Nimco's logo and its patent numbers. To avoid future displays of the counterfeit outsole, Nimco asked us to immediately file suit against Spring Footwear. As a result of the litigation, Spring Footwear withdrew the counterfeit shoe from the market and commenced settlement discussions. The case has since settled in favorable terms for our client.
