Case Information

 

Case Number: 2021-cv-565

 

Plaintiff: DOGGIE DENTAL INC.

 

Plaintiff’s Law Firm: Ference & Associates, LLC

BRISTLY tooth cleaning stick is a "tooth brushing magic tool" designed specifically for pet dogs . Its inventor and relevant intellectual property owner is Dertsakyan, who exclusively licensed the intellectual property to Doggie Dental, Inc. The company's main products include pet food and oral care products .

 

The editor learned that the company had submitted an application for registration of the US trademark "BRISTLY" as early as 2019 and registered multiple categories.

 

The relevant products were extremely popular once they were launched on the market, and even in short supply. For a while, many counterfeit products of the same style appeared on the market, and many "bold" sellers seized the opportunity to sell counterfeit products and make huge profits.

On a certain social platform, a consumer who bought counterfeit products angrily stated that the dental cleaning products he bought were bitten to pieces by his dog in less than ten seconds. What's worse is that the dog swallowed it. In order to remove it, the dog had to undergo surgery.

 

There are more and more counterfeit products. In order to prevent more consumers from suffering losses and protect the brand reputation, Doggie Dental, Inc. decided to initiate rights protection and sue 154 stores.

 

This time, Doggie Dental, Inc. is defending its appearance patent , but the company has also registered two trademarks, so the editor would like to remind all sellers to be extra careful!

 

The slow-feeding mat fell into the "infringement trap", and more than 50 stores also fell.

 

In addition to tooth cleaning sticks, more than 50 stores selling pet slow feeding pads Slow Treater were also sued!

 

This product, which can help pet dogs relieve their fear of bathing, has received rave reviews on Amazon, with more than 3,500 comments . Its practicality and appearance are deeply loved by consumers.

 

The prosecution of more than 200 stores above also serves as a wake-up call to all sellers. Although hot-selling products are "attractive", sellers must also operate in a formal and honest manner and not cause big losses for small profits.
