Shoe Designer Charles Philip Sues Gap Over Alleged Copycat Slippers
Shoe designer Charles Philip has accused Gap of using similar designs, in addition to using his name, in their recent line of slipper moccasins. The main contention is the striped design on the inside of the shoe, which Philip claims is his trademark. According to the designer, calling the shoes the “Philip slipper” and the “Philip slipper moccasin” may mislead customers to believe that they are affiliated with him.
