In cases like this, it's essential to remember that brands are attempting to defend their brand against infringement and dilution/confusion. Their patent is for certain things, and while knock-offs happen, if you get too close to the patent/design, this kind of brand defense comes up.

@BertBrussen Месяц назад

You can patent a shoe, like a design with 13 holes, but you cant patent 'shoes' or 'shoes with 14 holes'. But the problem with things like this is that it only take an intimidating email to scare Etsy, while they would never win this in a courtroom.

@RealJoeRobert Месяц назад

That’s what I’m thinking too thanks for watching!

@BertBrussen Месяц назад

You can obviously patent shoes with 14 holes but if your design is 13 holes then you cant claim any right on shoes with another number of holes.

@RealJoeRobert Месяц назад

I’m following you 😊

@pat4005 Месяц назад

I don't agree. That's because IF it looks enough like the Crocs Brand, that people could CONFUSE them with Crocs, then I think that the Crocs Brand can go after rip-offs of their IP in court. All Trademarked IP has to actively protect their Trademark, or they will loose it.

@BertBrussen Месяц назад

@@pat4005 true. But this doesn't work if your patent is '13 holes' and the look-a-like is 14 holes. The 13 holes is what the brand actually defines, not the shape and size. This is the reason Printify can sell shoes like this. The point is dat shapes of shoes are in the eye of the beholder, where 'shoe with 13 holes' or a brandname like 'Crocs' is specific.

@GTAGFEBAY 22 дня назад

I miss the days wollies / Woolworths (shopping center in AU ) used to sell their unbranded ones for $5 a pair , now they can only sell the Crocs for $60 a pair

@pamwaldron3504 Месяц назад

Clogs are a type of shoe. There are many styles of clogs made in many different materials and colors, including woven leather and solid uppers. Crocks can't claim the word "Clogs" as it is in the public domain. They are over reaching. That's like trying to claim the word jeans or plate or wheel.

@RealJoeRobert Месяц назад

Agreed, I think 😃

@catherinew5208 Месяц назад

Crocs owns the patent for shoe they actually own over 2k patents.

@BertBrussen Месяц назад

Best practice in cases like this: legal claims are by definition always in such a way that it's as intimidating as possible. So an email like this might scare the hell out of you but that is what they want. It does not mean they are in their right and chances are if you ignore it they will back off. So, if you know with certainty you did nothing wrong, just ignore the scare tactics, because they cant do anything about it. Of course its always good to ask a layer or legal expert.

@RealJoeRobert Месяц назад

Agree

@janbounds911 Месяц назад

You can buy some kind of knock-off clogs like these in nearly every garden center in the country. Usually plastic. Talk to Printify abt changing to several slots instead of holes. They're clogs and Printify can get it done.😊

@HappyTailsSupport Месяц назад

I created a shirt design that was a parody of the RIAA PAL mark (music industry explicit lyric label) and within 24 hours of posting it on Amazon got a cease and desist letter from their attorneys. Although I was pretty stoked that it got enough views in 24 hours for RIAA to notice it, it scared the hell out of me and I hadn't even made a sale. So I took it down. I did not know about fair use parody with copyrights back then and probably could have fought it, but it was pretty intimidating and not worth the time or money. Corporations take advantage of their size and power when it comes to what "they own" and although patents are one thing - the intellectual, copyright and trademark side gets a little outrageous and unfair. (Think about the Warner/Chappelle bogus copyright for the Happy Birthday song)

@SaraBond-f6s Месяц назад

Thanks for this Joe!! I've been waiting for this video to see what you had to say. I ordered a sample of the shoes and you're right. The printing on them is great.

@RealJoeRobert Месяц назад

Super nice!

@breath888 Месяц назад

Hey Joe (I see now I can't type that without thinking of the Jimi Hendrix song 😆) I know this happens on Etsy. But I'm wondering if they'd even be on Crocs' radar if it were sold on a little Shopify store.

@RealJoeRobert Месяц назад

Ha! Not sure though

@antonvalentinov4753 Месяц назад

If you try to sell shoes that look like Air Jordan 1 or Air Force 1, you can get into big trouble with Nike. This case seems similar.

@rashipp4982 Месяц назад

Yet, Nike is all over Etsy an nobody is being pulled. SMH

@DelroyMorgan-cn4hb Месяц назад

This was clear and to the point. Should I order samples to test the quality of product before selling them?

@RealJoeRobert Месяц назад

I always say ordering samples is never a bad thing

This were always called Clogs the only thing is Crocs just came and name it as their own and they shouldn't have had the right to do so. I would find crocs patent and come up with a design that's different and better and name it something else.

Again, you failed to mention that these shoes are only available to be printed in China with Printify. Almost ALL the shoes in there are only available in China.

@RealJoeRobert Месяц назад

Why are you making this comment in a way where you’re acting like I’m with holding that info? This is fairly common for lots of products. Not a big deal when you’re dealing with pod companies, this is not Ali express drop shipping for example

@autohog Месяц назад

@@RealJoeRobertIt wasn’t an attack on you. The point is that China is not legally bound by US patents, they could care less about selling a reseller an exact copy. The US reseller is the one who would face a lawsuit.

@ivannightly1919 Месяц назад

you really need to be careful of copy write

@susanravella6261 Месяц назад

What everyone needs to take away from this is the tragic truth that there is a very strong, unholy "relationship" between seemingly separate corporate entities, and a well-defined hierarchy among them. Because Etsy is a much less powerful participant, it will bow to the will of Crocs, Disney, etc. Upon establishing our own relationship as sellers, we agreed that Etsy was not legally liable in any way for our mistakes or misdeeds. So, legally, they do not need to take any action against us. Yet they do, don't they? Please watch the patterns as they appear. Corporations not only do not pay taxes in this country, they are permitted to "make policy" outside the normal scope of law. And that is why you will notice increasing cases of "over-reach," and exaggerated punitive damages against small businesses, such as ours. Be careful out there, everyone, for these are truly reptile-infested waters. "Crocs" included, lol!😅

I was killing it with a bunch of random designs on these shoes. My best sellers had a waffle cone and ice cream design. No mention of Crocs, but Etsy completely shut me down. That was about 3 years ago. Several suppliers have come out with different foam shoes that no longer look like the standard clogs.

Sorry about your shop. Thanks for watching my video!
