Crocs sues Five Below for alleged patent, trademark infringement.

Crocs sues Five Below for alleged patent, trademark infringement. by: Adam Rosen Posted: Oct 15, 2026 / 09:56 PM EDT Updated: Oct 15, 2026 / 09:56 PM EDT DENVER (KDVR) - It's almost a story of resilience - how Crocs went from just about dead to back in high demand; however, the rise of knockoffs has led the company to file suit over trademark and patent infringement. The Colorado-based company recently filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado against Five Below, alleging trademark infringement and dilution, among other claims. Five Below's clog is accused of featuring an identical sole design that is patented by Crocs, as well as the holes on a horizontal portion of the upper, citing the overall appearance. The complaint accused Five Below of marketing imitation charms made by Jibbitz, a subsidiary of Crocs. In the complaint, Crocs accused Five Below of attempts "to create and sell knockoff versions" to try and "trade on the immense popularity" of its brand, citing the retail chain's "Juniors Charm Clog." "Five Below has wrongly sought to capitalize on the success of Jibbitz's innovations by directly and indirectly infringing the Jibbitz Patent," the complaint stated. According to the complaint, Crocs sent a letter to Five Below outlining the infringements on March 4, which was acknowledged five days later and then again on March 27; however, Crocs said Five Below continued to sell the aforementioned items on April 17 at Park Meadows Mall in Lone Tree. A second letter was sent on May 20, and no response had been provided, while as recently as June 16, Five Below was alleged to still be selling the products at retail stores in Colorado. Crocs' complaint asked for relief against Five Below via a jury trial on all issues that can be brought forth.
