Tom Votel, President of Tenacious Holdings, Inc. (d\/b\/a Ergodyne<\/a>) threw down the gauntlet yesterday against the Wells Lamont Glove<\/a> company in a lawsuit claiming infringement on his glove design patent. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The lawsuit (Case 0:2012cv00893) filed in Minnesota on April 10th<\/sup>, seeks damages against Wells Lamont for claims that they infringe on a US Patent design patent #D\/388,514. This patent, filed in 2009, was issued to Votel (listed as the inventor) on February 2, 2010 and assigned to Tenacious Holdings. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As a glove patent owner myself on several glove utility (field of use) patents, a glove design (appearance) patent for a work glove<\/a> is rather unique and interesting. As a matter of fact, in the last two decades I\u2019ve only been associated with one (1) design glove patent and that was for a consumer novelty glove.  <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It\u2019s not uncommon for glove companies to copy another’s work glove and I can only assume Mr. Votel and his company became very tired of these glove industry shenanigans. I like the Wells Lamont Glove Company and I like the Ergodyne Company but I\u2019m a glove designer and maker. So, I\u2019ll watch this case closely. Let\u2019s see who will be the most tenacious. <\/div>\n
