More than 200 stores sued! Safety nails lead to infringement

Recently, when infringement cases come out, the number of stores involved ranges from dozens to hundreds. A few days ago, the editor found that more than 200 stores were sued for infringement because of a small product. The infringed product this time is a safety nail called Safety Nailer, and the case number is 21-cv-22073.

This safety nail can be understood literally, that is, a product that allows buyers to use nails safely. It is suitable for screws, nails, staples, etc. Buyers may clamp the things they need to fix in the middle, which can not only ensure the stability of the nails, but also protect the user's hands from injury. It is sold for less than $18 on Amazon. The application date can be searched in the United States Trademark and Patent Office as October 2017, the registration date is August 2018, and the serial number is 87662156.

In addition, Safety Nailer is a privately held company that mainly sells tools. When searching on Amazon, we will see similar products are still on sale. If there are sellers selling this product, please remove it from the shelves in time.

Previously, infringing products were mostly clothing and decorative products, and there were relatively few infringement cases of this type. However, sellers should not take it lightly when selling and think that it is not a big problem. Sometimes, it is precisely because of a careless mistake that they fall into trouble.

Compared with other clothing, shoes, hats, and decorations, tool products may not be particularly popular. Most of their consumers are families, but these consumers have a high rate of repeat purchases, and product sales remain stable. For example, in the United States, the requirements for maintenance workers are relatively high, so many American consumers like to buy tools and decorate or repair their homes by themselves, which has created a large demand for tool products.

In fact, behind the infringement, it is not difficult to find that infringement and hot-selling products often overlap. Hot-selling products such as mascara and branded clothing that were previously popular are often "imitated" due to their high profits and large sales. This kind of "imitation" has potential infringement risks, but there are many people who are lucky enough not to infringe.
