Target's Apparel Lawsuits on the Rise

As frigid weather begins to set in throughout the U.S., warm and comfy apparel becomes a necessity to survive stepping outside. Just as retail giant Target rolls out boots, socks and slippers for the season, the company may have to rethink a certain pair of shoes as Minnetonka Moccasins is suing the merchant for a look-alike pair. According to The Huffington Post, Minnetonka believes Target snagged its "Thunderbird" design, placing the long-used beaded bird on the toe of similar looking shoes. Court documents reveal that Target once tapped Minnetonka to begin selling the brand in stores, which the moccasin maker clearly rejected.
