Crocs, the Niwot-based plastic-clogs-maker, won a patent-infringement ruling that may help the company block U.S. imports of Dawgs and Waldies Comfy Clogs footwear.
The U.S. International Trade Commission in Washington on Monday upheld a judge’s findings that the company’s patented design for shoes was infringed unpon by Dawgs owner Double Diamond Distribution Ltd. and Waldies-maker Effervescent Inc.
Crocs filed the complaint in 2006 and initially lost before the agency. An appeals- court ruling in favor of Crocs last year revived the case.
