Lidl has been banned from selling sandals that a Dutch court ruled were copies of Birkenstock designs.
The court order prevents the retailer from continuing to sell the products in question. The ruling also requires Lidl to compensate Birkenstock and pay the company’s legal fees.
The decision concerns a dispute between the German discount retailer and Birkenstock over the design of the sandals. The supplied ruling does not give details of the compensation amount, the specific products involved or when the ban will take effect.
