SAFETY SOCKET ANNOUNCES FEDERAL COURT UPHELD JURY VERDICT IN COUNTERFEIT MILITARY PARTS TRIAL
CHICAGO, Feb. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The jury in a federal court trial in June of 2024 found that high-strength fasteners produced by a supplier for military applications were counterfeit under federal trademark laws. The case is Safety Socket LLC v. Relli Technology, Inc., filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The jury further found that Relli committed willful counterfeiting when it sold fasteners bearing the registered trademarks of Safety Socket to fill orders for military part numbers, destined for use in combat vehicle contracts, without Safety Socket’s authorization to sell them as such. Relli’s post-trial challenge to the jury’s verdict of willful counterfeiting was denied by the Court on February 10, 2025.
This was the second such litigation successfully pursued by Safety Socket. The prior case was Safety Socket LLC v. Accurate Aerospace, Inc.
Safety Socket LLC has supplied high-strength fasteners for demanding commercial, military and aerospace applications for over 80 years.
