There is a final conclusion on the dispute between Shanzhai.

According to the world clothing and shoe net, recently, the US federal court dismissed Adidas's two accusations against Cage. The former pointed out that the Cage MegaBlade series copied the concept of its Springblade "blade fighters" shoes, and put forward to prevent Cage from selling the moving shoes, but eventually lost the lawsuit.

In fact, this is the second time that Skech was sent to court by Adidas. In September 2015, Adidas accused Cage of copying his classic representative, Stan Smith.

In the first instance of last February, Adidas won the lawsuit. The second instance is expected to take place in April 2018.

The concept is very similar.

At present, the two second court offices began in July last year, and Adidas accused it of illegally copying the design concept of its own brand sports shoes.

The German brand claims that Skech intentionally infringed two patents on Adidas's Springblade "blade warrior" series three years ago in its Mega Flex 2 and Mega Flex 3.0 two sports shoes.

This unique running shoe has a knife edge at the bottom, which supposedly provides high performance support and resilience for runners.

For the two patent disputes, the court finally rejected the claim filed by Adidas.

Judge Michael Simon (Michael Simon) said, "Adidas provides evidence of irreparable losses, a lot of speculation, lack of convincing enough to prove that Mega Blade sports shoes have a serious impact on the Springblade series."

After winning the battle, Cage, chairman of Michael Greenberg of the US company, said publicly: "a year ago, when Adidas obtained the patent, the Cage Mega Blade shoes had already started marketing."

Therefore, the court also believes that Cage does not exist intentionally violating intellectual property rights.

Skech, who won this year, was founded in 1992 in California, USA, and originally started with a single product of leather boots, and began to enter the fitness market in 2009.

Because of its moderate price and comfortable clothing, its fitness shoes quickly became popular in the mainland and gradually became the popular footwear brand of American consumers.

With the help of sports shoes, in the 2014 fiscal year, Cage's sales reached $24 billion, and the company's share price doubled.

In 2015, Skech continued to show a "black horse" attitude. The sports shoes Market Report of NPD, a research firm, showed that Adidas was pushing Adidas and Under Armour to rank second in the US market share of 5%, second only to sports giant Nike.

In addition, it is worth noting that in 2016, Skech's sales in the Chinese market increased by 89% over the same period last year, and the brand's Chinese business grew rapidly.

In parallel with the growth of its performance, in recent years, Skech has been involved in many plagiarism lawsuits.

In addition to disputes with Adidas, Cage was accused of Nike in January last year, claiming that he had violated Nike's up to 8 patents in the past two years.

Another sports brand CONVERSE also accused Cage of having mass production, distribution or sale of Shanzhai CONVERSE Chuck Taylor classic sneakers in 2014.

At present, Adidas's plagiarism accusation has been dismissed, and Cage has finally breathed a sigh of relief, but it still takes time for the brand to completely remove the name of "Shanzhai addiction".
