PennEngineering wins $14 million judgment against Pinconn
- August 28, 2018
- News Release
- Assembly and Joining
Danboro, Pa.-based PennEngineering® has obtained a $14 million judgment and permanent injunction against Dongguan Fenggang Pinconn Hardware Factory, based on Pinconn’s counterfeiting and infringement of more than 12 PennEngineering patents and trademarks.
In addition to being permanently restrained from selling the infringing products and being ordered to remove the infringing content from its website, Pinconn was ordered to pay PennEngineering $14 million for statutory damages. The final order has been recorded with United States Customs and Border Protection to prevent importation to the U.S. of Pinconn products.
The original complaint was filed against Pinconn on Oct. 13, 2017, in response to Pinconn’s scheduled appearance at the Las Vegas International Fasteners Expo, where PennEngineering enforced against Pinconn a preliminary injunction order issued by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, resulting in the removal of all of Pinconn’s signage, advertising materials, and infringing product at its tradeshow booth. The preliminary injunction also forced Pinconn to abandon its booth at the 2017 Design & Manufacturing Expo in Minneapolis.
