PennEngineering wins preliminary injunction against Pemco

PennEngineering®, a Danboro, Pa.-based manufacturer of fasteners and fastening equipment, has obtained a preliminary injunction against three patent and trademark infringers: Pemco Hardware Inc., Dongguan Fenggang Pemco Hardware Factory, and Shenzhen Pemco Fastening Systems Co. Ltd. (collectively Pemco).

In addition to being restrained from commercializing the infringing products and being ordered to remove the infringing content from its website, Pemco was ordered to transfer ownership of multiple infringing domain names to PennEngineering. As a result, Pemco shut down its U.S.-based website.

The original complaint was filed against Pemco in November 2015. The complaint alleged patent infringement, trademark infringement, false designation of origin, counterfeiting, and trademark dilution under U.S. law, along with common law trademark infringement and unfair competition. PennEngineering alleged that 12 patents and trademarks were being infringed.
