"Seeking the same success Aquazzura experienced but without having to put in the hard creative work, defendants resorted to knocking off plaintiff's popular designs," the lawsuit says.
Footwear company Marc Fisher was also named in the suit.
"This is a baseless lawsuit aimed at generating publicity," said Matthew Burris, chief financial officer of Marc Fisher. "The shoe in question is representative of a trending fashion style, is not subject to intellectual property law protection and there are similar styles made by several major brands."
