ORLANDO — The NOCO Company is suing several companies they allege infringed on their intellectual property rights.
Deltona Transformer Corporation, Deltran USA LLC and Deltran Operations USA Inc. were all named as defendants in the suit.
The NOCO Company claims that the success of its BOOST products has led to unauthorized replication and infringement of its intellectual property rights, according to a complaint filed Nov. 13 in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida.
The defendants are selling and using jump starters in the United States, including Florida, that the plaintiff claims violate its asserted patents.
NOCO claims the defendants directly infringed the plaintiff's patent by importing, offering to sell, selling and/or using the Accused Battery Tender jump starters in the United States, without authority.
"Unless an injunction is issued enjoining Defendants and their officers, agents, servants, employees, attorneys, representatives, affiliates, and all others acting on their behalf from infringing the ’203 Patent, NOCO will continue to be greatly and irreparably harmed and has no adequate remedy at law," the complaint states.
The defendants are accused of offering and selling Battery Tender jump starters on their website and the Amazon marketplace, according to the suit.
NOCO is seeking injunctive relief, compensatory damages, enhanced damages and pre- and post-judgment interest. It is represented by Michelle Hogan, Meredith M. WIlkes, David B. Cochran and John C. Evans of Jones Day.
