Amazon and UL are suing five companies involved in manufacturing e-bikes and e-scooters, claiming they misused UL trademarks on their products.
Details of the lawsuit against manufacturers
The lawsuit, submitted on January 23, targets three Chinese firms, one Hong Kong-based company, and an individual, alongside several unnamed defendants. It is filed in the U.S. District Court for Western Washington.
The complaint asserts the defendants sold items with registered UL trademarks during 2024 and 2025, breaching contracts and deceiving customers. It seeks actual damages and the removal of any counterfeit products.
Claims of conspiracy and contract violations
The complaint also alleges that the defendants worked together in the counterfeit scheme. They registered as third-party sellers on Amazon, which requires adherence to certain agreements specifying legal jurisdictions.
Amazon and UL had previously filed five similar lawsuits in December, requesting that all cases be assigned to the same judge for efficiency.
Specific details about named defendants
Defendants include Jiangmen Meijiasheng Bicycle Co., Ltd.; Shenzhen Aibosi Sport Technology Co., Ltd.; Guangzhou Aierfeile Sport Technology Co., Ltd.; Hong Kong Manchester International Trading Co., Ltd.; and individual Tang Shuhui.
The complaint identifies seven specific product models sold on Amazon. It further claims that some of these models were also marketed on aipasbike.com with unauthorized UL trademarks.
