Brand History & Trademark Analysis
Dr. Martens has been registered in the UK for footwear since the Griggs family of Wollaston, Northamptonshire began manufacturing the boots in 1960 under licence from German inventor Klaus Märtens. The 1460 boot became a symbol of successive British subcultures — from skinheads to punks to grunge. The brand's trademark registration covers its distinctive yellow stitching, grooved sole, and heel loop, which together function as protectable trade dress.
