The Sun Products Corp. has settled its lawsuit filed against U.S. Nonwovens Corporation.
Sun Products sued the Brentwood, NY company in May 2010 for making and selling products that infringed certain patents, trademarks and trade dress related to its Snuggle, Sunlight and Sun brands.
Shortly after Sun Products commenced the lawsuit, U.S. Nonwovens agreed to stop manufacturing and selling products that infringed Sun Products’ intellectual property. The companies entered into discussions and recently finalized a settlement agreement, for which financial terms were not disclosed.
“Sun Products owns many valuable and distinctive brands, and associated intellectual property,” commented Beth Hecht, senior vice president and general cCounsel of Sun Products. “Our action against U.S. Nonwovens was necessary to protect our assets, and reflects Sun Products’ commitment to pursue companies that infringe our intellectual property.”
