Sherinian Law Obtains Substantial Judgment for Counterfeiting Design Patent Case

In a pioneering patent case to enforce U.S. Pat. D980990, the Law Offices of Konrad Sherinian, LLC has obtained a judgment for $1,867,842.57 in Shenzhen Kunshengze Electronic Commerce Co., Ltd. v. The Partnerships and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule “A”, Case No. 23-CV-8005 (N.D. Ill. Nov. 8, 2023)[Dkt. No. 112]. This case was originally filed against 318 online sellers operating on the Amazon platform that copied Plaintiff Shenzen Kunshengze’s patented design. Unlike in many patent cases where plaintiffs have to settle for $250 per defendant, our attorneys were able to prove up substantially greater damages, reflecting the actual value of the infringed patent.

If 25 or more online sellers are infringing your intellectual property, feel free to contact the Law Offices of Konrad Sherinian, LLC – one of our attorneys will work with you to put the infringers out of business, generally at out-of-pocket expense to you – our attorneys are compensated solely based on what they are able to collect and front all expenses.
