Skechers USA, Inc. will be re-filing its lawsuit against Asics Corporation and Asics America Corp. for trade libel, unfair competition and tortious interference with prospective economic advantage and economic business relations. The suit will be re-filed when Skechers answers Asics' complaint. Skechers will seek $100 million in punitive damages and a declaration that none of its designs infringe on Asics' trademarks. Asics said last week that Skechers had dropped the suit without giving reason. However, Skechers said it informed Asics in March that it would re-file the suit as a counterclaim .
