Birkenstock Files Copyright Bid, German Court Says "Sandals Not Art" | Spotlight | N18G

Germany’s top court has ruled that Birkenstock sandals, while iconic and comfortable, do not qualify as "applied art" under copyright law. The shoemaker had sued competitors for selling lookalike sandals, arguing that its design deserved the same legal protection as high-end furniture or classic cars. However, the court decided that Birkenstock's wide-strapped, big-buckled sandals are driven by function rather than artistic merit, making them ineligible for copyright protection. Despite the legal setback, Birkenstock remains a cultural and fashion staple, with celebrity endorsements, a major stock market debut, and an ever-growing global fan base. Watch the video to know more about the Birkenstock legal drama.
