Crocs Sues Five Below Over Look-Alike Clogs and Shoe Charms
- Crocs and its subsidiary Jibbitz filed suit against Five Below on 18 September 2026 in the US District Court for the District of Colorado, case 1:26-cv-04606, assigned to Judge Timothy P. O'Hara[1]
- The complaint says Five Below's clogs, sold online and in its stores, infringe and dilute the Crocs Classic Clog trade dress in two 3D trademark registrations (Nos. 5,149,328 and 5,273,875) and infringe Crocs design patent D1,100,450[2]
- Jibbitz claims Five Below's shoe charms infringe its utility patents 7,698,836, 8,122,519 and 8,782,814 covering ways to attach decorative charms to shoes[1][2]
- The registrations cover the sloping front field of holes, the patterned band around the toe and the boxy, upturned profile; Crocs says it sells about 150 million pairs a year[2]
- Crocs seeks an injunction and compensatory and punitive damages, and demands a jury trial[2]
