Sulzer Mixpac Files Lawsuit Against Mixing Tips Copiers and Gains Key Judgment

Also on November 28, 2012, the same court in New York entered a Consent Judgment and Permanent Injunction against UC Dental dba HappyStone. The judgment states that so called new design transparent base mixing tips made by Seil Global of Korea, and distributed by UC Dental are counterfeit and infringe Sulzer’s U.S. Trademark Registrations and Patent, and that certain advertising for the products constitutes false advertising. The Permanent Injunction prohibits further advertising, sale or offer for sale of the Seil Global made mixing tips, or use of the false advertising in the United States.
