The Nelsonville-based footwear maker on Monday said it reached a settlement with former Rocky employee Glen Bratcher, his company and a Chinese manufacturer it alleged were using trade secrets to make boots nearly identical to some Rocky lines. Also named in the suit were Bratcher's Franklin, Tenn.-based company, Westwood Footwear and Accessories LLC and Nantong Hong Yi Wang Shoes Company Ltd., which makes products for Westwood as well as Rocky Brands.
Rocky said terms of the settlement are confidential, but CEO Mike Brooks said the company is "extremely pleased" with the resolution of the case, which included 13 claims against Bratcher and the two companies.
