Remy International, Inc., filed patent and trademark infringement lawsuits today in the United States Federal District Court for the District of Nevada, against four major manufacturers in the rotating electrical industry. Remy alleges that the Defendants are marketing under Remy's trademarks and/or trade names and are making, importing, using, selling and/or offering to sell to major distributors or retailers in the United States various original equipement alternators and starting motors containing Remy's patented technology. Remy has requested both injunctive relief and damages in its Complaint. Remy's legal action has been brought amidst growing concern with the increasing manufacture and/or importation of patent-infringing products into United States markets. Infringing companies are channeling new "knock-off" parts into both the automotive aftermarket, which has traditionally used remanufactured products, and the original equipment market.
