German footwear brand Birkenstock is cracking down on a growing trade in counterfeit products in India, and has filed a lawsuit in the capital against multiple manufacturers and sellers allegedly involved in producing and exporting fake versions of its products.
The infringement case, lodged in May with the Delhi High Court, names four footwear traders, four manufacturing units, and two unnamed individuals operating in and around Agra, a city in the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, and New Delhi, according to a report by Reuters.
