Paris being sued over shoes

Paris Hilton wants people to take a walk in her shoes for once, but it could cost her in court. A New York shoe company says the heiress’ new line of footwear is a complete rip off.

According to docs filed last week in Seattle, a company called Gwyneth Shoes is suing Paris over part of her new shoe design — a heart-shaped pad on the insole — claiming the idea was theirs first. Gwyneth Shoes claims they filed to patent the heart cushion idea back in 2007 — months before Paris’ shoes launched in February 2008.

Gwyneth Shoes is suing for trademark and patent infringement … and get this: they want Paris to hand over every last one of the allegedly infringing shoes — which probably number in the thousands.
