LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kellytoy Worldwide, Inc. (Kellytoy) has achieved the unique distinction of selling more than 50 million units of its SQUISHMALLOWS® branded plush toys and pillows in just over two years on the market.
"We are extremely excited to reach this milestone and owe it to our loyal and informed consumers, who recognize and love the unique ‘look and feel’ of Squishmallows plush that distinguish these goods from the goods of others,” said Kellytoy CEO Jonathan Kelly.
Kellytoy designed the original Squishmallows line (www.squishmallows.com) so these goods stand out to consumers as goods uniquely coming from Kellytoy and the success of Kellytoy's Squishmallows line shows that it has accomplished that goal. Kellytoy has also undertaken measures (e.g., in its marketing materials including product hangtags, social media, etc.) to emphasize and inform consumers that the overall shape, look, feel, and texture of its Squishmallows branded plush toy constitutes Kellytoy’s proprietary trade dress.
In addition, to protect its customers from being fooled by third-party imitations, Kellytoy is actively engaged in trying to stop third-party copies of its Squishmallows line from causing confusion in the marketplace.
