In addition to the Negg Egg Peeler, the plaintiff also launched the NEGG Deviled Egg seasoning and applied for corresponding trademark protection for it:

So far, 36 sellers have been prosecuted for selling related products . Therefore, sellers who are still selling related products should conduct self-inspections as soon as possible to avoid potential infringements.

3. CRIMPiT Food Sealer

  • Plaintiff: CRIMPIT GROUP LTD.
  • Case Number: 24-cv-24117
  • Prosecution date: October 24, 2024

  • Reason for prosecution: Trademark infringement

  • Court: United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida

  • Law firm: BSF


CRIMPiT is a brand that focuses on kitchen products, and its star product is a practical food sealer. This small kitchen tool can roll up and seal the edges of tortillas or thin bread, effectively preventing the ingredients inside from sliding out and ensuring the integrity of the food.


Users can easily achieve a perfect curling effect with a simple press operation, which greatly improves the convenience and aesthetics of food preparation.


Since its launch at the end of 2021, the CRIMPiT food sealer has quickly become popular and is now in more than 350,000 households around the world, winning wide recognition and love.

The case involves the CRIMPiT brand trademark:
It is worth mentioning that CRIMPiT has strict intellectual property protection for its food sealer. The product has two related patents, patent numbers are US D1,022,626 S and US D1,036,206 S , and the approval dates are April 16, 2024 and July 23, 2024 respectively.
Therefore, sellers need to be extra careful when selling similar products to avoid infringing CRIMPiT’s patent rights.
In general, "no matter how small the infringement is, it is a big deal". Nowadays, e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, Shein, and TikTok Shop pay more and more attention to intellectual property rights. Therefore, sellers should also be vigilant in their business operations, prevent infringements, and strengthen their awareness of self-protection.
