Headline: Birkenstock Loses Court Battle: Sandals Deemed Design, Not Art

Caption:

Germany's highest civil court has ruled that Birkenstock sandals, despite their cultural impact, are considered pieces of design and not art, denying them copyright protection. The Federal Court of Justice dismissed Birkenstock's lawsuit aimed at blocking competitors like Tchibo from selling similar sandal styles.
