  • 2020 Annual Report Annual 2020
    2020 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 ANNUAL SKECHERS USA, INC. 228 Manhattan Beach Blvd. REPORT Manhattan Beach, California 90266 February 2021 To our Shareholders, We would like to express our sincere hope that you and your loved ones are staying safe and healthy during this on-going health crisis. We began 2020 with the same positive momentum that drove record revenues in 2019. The first quarter showed significant growth until COVID-19 leaped from Asia to Europe, the United States and virtually every market around the globe. By the end of March, most of the world pressed pause as the pandemic took hold and within weeks, we temporarily closed offices and stores, and faced a new normal of doing business and living. At Skechers, the ability to pivot quickly has been a hallmark of our business and success since our beginning. 2020 put our flexibility to the test as we adapted to this new reality. With the global infrastructure we have in place, our teams around the world were able to effectively work from home. The speed of our actions early on allowed us to weather the worst of the pandemic in the first and second quarters with as minimal impact as possible considering the unprecedented challenges. By the close of the second quarter, China had already returned to sales growth of 11.5 percent, and many of our biggest international markets, including Germany and the United Kingdom, showed meaningful recovery. Our quick action and our efforts to efficiently manage both inventory and expenses also resulted in Skechers emerging in a relatively strong position as markets began to re-open.

  • Wolverine World Wide, Inc
    WOLVERINE WORLD WIDE, INC. SEARCH ENGINE MARKETING POLICY General Any retail customer authorized by Wolverine World Wide, Inc. (“Wolverine Worldwide”) to sell Wolverine Worldwide branded products on approved internet sites must do so pursuant to the terms of Wolverine Worldwide’s written Internet Agreement. Any such “Authorized Retailer” that wishes to advertise Wolverine Worldwide’s brands and products through the use of so-called “paid search advertising” or “search engine marketing” on Google, Bing, Yahoo, MSN, or similar search engines (collectively, “Search Marketing”) must do so pursuant to this Search Engine Marketing Policy (“SEM Policy”). Statement of Policy Authorized Retailers are prohibited from engaging in Search Marketing (including both bidding and appearing in paid advertising) that (i) utilize a Protected Term (listed on Appendix A) as a stand-alone search term or exclusively in combination with another Protected Term without any other description or (ii) directs a consumer to a website that does not sell the branded product for which the consumer searched. In addition, each Authorized Retailer must set all Protected Terms as “exact negative matches” within each primary search engine (Google, Yahoo, Bing and MSN). Wolverine Worldwide has established these restrictions in order to protect its brands and ensure any Search Marketing is not confusing to, or inconsistent with, the expectations of Wolverine Worldwide’s consumers. For example, Wolverine Worldwide believes that a consumer engaging in a search for a stand-alone Protected Term is looking for one of Wolverine Worldwide’s branded websites and is expecting a full representation of that brand and brand story, which only Wolverine Worldwide can offer.

    DESIGN PATENTING BY ORGANIZATIONS 2013 March 2014 U.S. PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE ELECTRONIC INFORMATION PRODUCTS DIVISION - PTMT P.O. BOX 1450 ALEXANDRIA, VA 22313-1450 tel (571) 272-5600 / FAX (571) 273-0110 A PATENT TECHNOLOGY MONITORING TEAM REPORT Design Patenting By Organizations 2013 This report, prepared from the Technology Assessment and Forecast (TAF) database, profiles design patents granted during calendar year 2013. Part A1 Part A1 presents patent counts by origin, U.S. and foreign. Individual counts are also presented for each of the top 36 patenting countries. Patent origin is determined by the residence of the first-named inventor listed on a patent. Patent ownership-category information reflects ownership at the time of patent grant and does not reflect subsequent changes in ownership. If more than one assignee (the entity, if any, to which the patent rights have been legally assigned) was declared at the time of grant, a patent is attributed to the ownership-category of the first-named assignee. The "U.S. Corporations" and "Foreign Corporations" ownership categories count predominantly corporate patents; however, patents assigned to other organizations such as small businesses, nonprofit organizations, universities, etc. are also included in these categories. While the "U.S. Government" ownership category includes only patents granted to the Federal Government, no such distinction is made for the "Foreign Government" ownership category. The "U.S. Individuals" and "Foreign Individuals" ownership categories include patents for which ownership was assigned to an individual as well as patents for which no assignment of ownership was made at the time of grant (i.e., ownership was retained by the inventor(s)).
