Crocs, Inc. and Mosaic Brands Limited Announce Settlement of Litigation Crocs, Inc. Mosaic Brand Limited announced that they have settled a lawsuit in the Federal Court of Australia in which Crocs alleged that Mosaic's sale of certain molded foam shoes infringed on Crocs' intellectual property rights. Crocs, one of the world's leading casual footwear companies, has been selling its iconic Classic Clog shoes in Australia for almost 20 years. The Classic Clog is sold in more than 85 countries and has become one of the most recognizable footwear styles in the world. Crocs owns trademark registrations covering the iconic shape and design of its flagship shoe in more than 30 countries worldwide, including Australia.

The parties were able to agree on mutually agreeable settlement terms without admissions. While specific terms of the agreement are confidential, Mosaic has agreed to discontinue production and sale of certain molded footwear styles named in the litigation, and certain similar styles, before the end of the year.
