Random Lawsuit of the Day: Porsche v. Crocs

Monday, Nov 9, 2009 / 4:03 PM

greencrocslawsuit.jpgWho knew that luxury car makers would be concerned with hideously unattractive footwear? Not us.
Turns out in Germany, they most certainly are. Our sibling site, GoingConcern.com, has discovered a lawsuit in Germany where Porsche is suing Crocs over use of the word “Cayman.” (That’s the name of the style pictured to the left. This is a Porsche Cayman.)
We have to agree with their story in that there’s got to be a fairly low level of confusion as to which “Cayman” one is talking about.
But we cannot lie and say we don’t advocate anything that chips away at the company behind these fashion abominations. We might be able to handle Fit Flops, but Crocs…never.

I can’t believe that Porsche is bothering with this kind of frivolous law suit. Ridiculous.

in theory this is stupid as. but idc it’s crocs for goodness’ sake.

What happens to the ad agency Cramer-Krasselt who is the agency of record for both brands? Yikes! Do you keep the car or the shoe?
