I watched a video talking about how Bapes get away with copying Nike all the time. If I remember correctly it's some shyt like a shoe patent only last like 15 years after that you're free to rip them off.

Protecting Your Shoe Designs With Patents - The Rapacke Law Group
Are Shoe Designs Really Patentable?
The short answer is yes; shoe designs are patentable. There are two types of patents that you can have, design or utility. Having patents gives you the right to protect your shoe design from others using, selling, producing, or offering to sell a shoe that uses an element protected by your patent.

To determine you have the potential for securing a patent, determine if your shoe has a unique function or design. The next step is to perform a search and confirm that no one has already come up with your idea. You can then prepare and file your application. You’ll then need to track your application’s status and promptly respond to any communications sent by the USPTO.

Upon approval, protection lasts a specific amount of time. A design patent will last for 15 years from the date of approval by the patent office. A utility patent will last for 20 years from the date the patent grants your application.

Once you have patent approval, you can then profit by licensing out the right to use your inventions to shoe manufacturers.

I don't see the point in it though. If these aren't cheap there is no reason to spend good money to get shyt on for wearing fake2x Laker 3's, just get some Chucks.

Hope the Lakers Jordan and LA sue the shyt out of him


That would be a major L :russ: he should have hopped on that "Bing bong" wave and made some Bing Bong 3s all Knicks colors. At least the Knicks wouldn't give a shyt and he would only get sued by 2 people instead of 3. :dead:

Now he gonna have to go crawling back to his family with a dowry of 200 cattle to get back into the family Jewelry business.
