Pittsburgh, PA-based intellectual property law firm Ference & Associates announced today that a preliminary injunction was entered by the Honorable William S. Stickman IV of the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania in a lawsuit filed against e-commerce sites AliExpress, eBay, and Wish. These online retailers sell counterfeit items that resemble the plaintiff’s patented Orange Screw Ultimate Ground Anchor.

Made by Gorge Design Group LLC, the Orange Screw ground anchor is an innovative, screw-in, plastic anchor made entirely from recycled plastic and is manufactured in the United States.  Orange Screw ground anchors are portable, easy-to-use, and perform in a wider range of soil conditions than other portable ground anchors.  This multi-use tool serves many purposes: It can replace tent stakes and metal dog tie-outs, anchor RV awnings and sun shelters, and hold tarps over boats, ATVs and firewood.

Gorge Design Group LLC is a small, family-owned company dedicated to building an international brand that is synonymous with high quality and long-lasting products. Counterfeit products made of lesser quality than their authentic Orange Screw  ground anchors create confusion in the marketplace.  “I’ve received calls from angry customers telling me that their Orange Screw product broke causing their tent to blow away or their pet to run loose,” said Kirby Erdely, CEO and founder of Gorge Design Group LLC. “It became evident that the product they purchased is a knock-off of our original, patented design. These fake items, easily purchased from e-commerce sites, are watering down the market and damaging the Orange Screw  brand.”

“This preliminary injunction opens the door to rightfully securing all funds for the Orange Screw family of products,” said Stanley Ference, managing partner of Ference & Associates and lead attorney on the matter. “We’ll continue to litigate the claims for our client to ensure that their product is not confused for lesser quality items being sold on various e-commerce sites.”

Stanley Ference was assisted in this matter by Brian Samuel Malkin and the team of attorneys and professionals at Ference & Associates.

PITTSBURGH, PA, December 21, 2018 – Pittsburgh, PA-based intellectual property law firm, Ference & Associates, announced today that it secured preliminary injunctions in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania in two civil actions filed against sellers on Amazon, eBay, and AliExpress. The orders prohibit the companies from manufacturing and selling alleged counterfeit goods similar to the Negg® boiled egg peeler, manufactured and sold by plaintiff, Airigan Solutions, LLC, based in Connecticut. The order also prohibits Amazon, PayPal, and AliExpress and other online stores and payment systems from providing services to the defendants’ user accounts as well as any activity with the defendants’ financial accounts with these companies pending the outcome of the litigation.

“We are pleased that the court granted equitable relief in the first cases of this kind filed in the Western District of Pennsylvania,” said Stanley Ference, the firm’s Managing Partner and lead attorney on the matter. “We look forward to litigating the claims on our client’s behalf.”

“We worked hard for a long time to develop a superior product for our customers and to obtain the appropriate patent and trademark protection,” said Sheila Torgan, co-creater/maker of the Negg® product. “We are happy that we will have the opportunity to present our case and stop counterfeit versions of the Negg® from being sold.”

The Preliminary Injunction Orders were issued by Nora Barry Fischer, United States District Judge for the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. Judge Fischer previously issued Temporary Restraining Ordersagainst these online sellers.

Stanley Ference was assisted in this matter by Brian Samuel Malkin and the team of attorneys and professionals at Ference & Associates.
