Case number: 2:07-cv-4182-GAF Settlement –  Equitable Settlement

Facts

The lawsuit involved allegations by defendant and cross-claimant Cobra International Inc. alleging that the circuit used in Skechers lighted footwear infringed Cobra's patent on sequential lighting.

Result

On June 6, 2012, Cobra and Skechers entered into a settlement agreement. Cobra agreed to dismiss its lawsuit against Skechers with prejudice and release all claims against Skechers. Skechers did not pay any money and is free to continue using its lighted footwear technology without modification and without any payment or obligations to Cobra. The case settled after Skechers filed a summary judgment motion to invalidate Cobra's patent.
