LOS ANGELES – The designer and marketer of UGG shoes alleges an Illinois corporation has unlawfully copied one of its boot designs.

Deckers Outdoor Corp. filed a complaint on April 17 in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against Collections Etc. Inc. and Does 1-10 alleging federal trade dress infringement and unfair competition.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges its Bailey Button Triplet boots design was copied by the defendant.
