(Reuters) – French luxury fashion house Herm\u00e8s International SCA has settled a lawsuit brought by Skechers USA Inc that claimed Herm\u00e8s sneakers infringed Skechers’ patent rights, according to a Wednesday filing in Manhattan federal court.<\/p>\n

The filing said the two sides signed a confidential settlement agreement on Monday. Representatives for the companies did not immediately respond to requests for comment and additional details.<\/p>\n

Manhattan Beach, California-based Skechers sued Herm\u00e8s last year, alleging its Eclair and Envol sneakers infringe two Skechers design patents covering the undulating “Massage Fit” soles in its “Go Walk” walking shoes.<\/p>\n

Skechers said the soles of Herm\u00e8s’ shoes were “substantially the same” as its soles and requested an unspecified amount of money damages.<\/p>\n

Herm\u00e8s did not respond to the allegations in court.<\/p>\n

Skechers has also sued Fila, Reebok, Steve Madden and other shoemakers in the past for infringing “Go Walk” design patents, in cases that later settled.<\/p>\n
