    Skechers Strengthens UK Presence with 'VERSA WING' Trademark as Global Footwear Shift

    On 12 March, Skechers filed for a new UK trademark, 'VERSA WING,' targeting the buoyant athletic footwear segment. This market has notably overtaken traditional city footwear, driven by changing consumer preferences and robust competition from global brands such as Nike, Adidas, and New Balance. Skechers, with global net sales reaching around nine billion dollars in 2024—a rise of nearly one billion dollars year-on-year—is capitalising on evolving shopping behaviours marked by the dramatic rise of eCommerce and innovative store formats, reshaping the retail landscape. Founded in 1992 and based in Manhattan Beach, California, Skechers primarily offers lifestyle footwear such as Memory Foam, BOBS charity line, and Relaxed Fit shoes, alongside its performance range including Skechers GOrun and GOwalk. Additionally, through licensing, it markets accessories such as watches and eyewear. In the competitive US market, Skechers enjoys strong brand recognition, with nearly 90% awareness and ranking eighth in popularity among apparel and footwear brands, as 37% of American consumers expressed positive sentiment towards the brand in a recent survey. The following tag cloud illustrates Skechers' trademark applications in the EU and UK in 2024.

  • Bayer Faces Mounting Legal Challenges Amid Financial Setbacks


    Bayer Faces Mounting Legal Challenges Amid Financial Setbacks

    German pharmaceutical and agricultural giant Bayer has encountered substantial legal difficulties, most recently suffering a major defeat with a jury verdict in Georgia awarding $2.1 billion in damages related to its controversial Roundup weedkiller. The verdict comprised $2 billion in punitive and $65 million in compensatory damages, prompting a sharp 6.6% decline in Bayer's shares. The company vehemently disputes the decision, arguing it conflicts with global regulatory consensus supporting glyphosate's safety, and plans to appeal the excessive penalties. Concurrently, Bayer successfully contested numerous infringing domain names under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP). The domains were ordered transferred to the company, reflecting Bayer's ongoing vigilance against trademark infringement. Nevertheless, the continuous legal skirmishes linked to its Monsanto acquisition, along with unresolved glyphosate litigation, underline persistent reputational and financial risks Bayer must navigate. The following chart showing the distribution and listing of top-level domains (TLDs) used in the disputed Bayer domains.
