The parties and the court

Hong Kong Steed Reach Technology Limited dba UNIHOO DIRECT v. Shenzhen Gouchen Electronic Commerce Co., Ltd., No. 4:26-cv-01655 (E.D. Tex.), is a declaratory judgment complaint filed November 5, 2026. The complaint describes the plaintiff as a limited company organized under the laws of China that sells wallet products on Amazon under the UNIHOO DIRECT store. It alleges, on information and belief, that the defendant is a limited company organized under the laws of China with a business address in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China. Jurisdiction is pleaded under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1338(a) and the Declaratory Judgment Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2201 et seq., and venue under 28 U.S.C. § 1391.

The patent and the Amazon complaint

U.S. Design Patent D1032197, titled "Wallet," issued June 25, 2024 from Application No. 29/912,523, filed September 20, 2023, and names the defendant as applicant and assignee. Its single claim reads "The ornamental design for a wallet, as shown and described." The complaint alleges that in and around September 2026 the defendant lodged Amazon Complaint ID 22046008131 asserting that patent against the accused wallets identified by ASIN B0H5HBTMT7, and that Amazon responded by removing the accused products.

The counts

The first headed claim seeks a declaratory judgment that the D1032197 patent is invalid under 35 U.S.C. § 102 because, the complaint alleges, wallet products offered by a third-party seller on 1688.com with a first publication date in December 2022, a third-party men's card holder wallet sold under ASIN B0BVPKST52 on Amazon.ca with a first available date of March 13, 2023, and a YouTube review of a slim aluminum card wallet posted September 14, 2023 disclose identical or substantially similar designs that predate the patent's priority filing date. The second headed claim seeks a declaratory judgment that the accused products do not infringe the design claim, including because the patent is invalid under § 102.

Relief sought

The prayer asks for preliminary and permanent injunctions ordering the defendant to withdraw Amazon infringement complaints against the accused products on the D1032197 patent and to refrain from lodging further such complaints; a declaratory judgment of noninfringement; a declaration that the claims of the patent are invalid and that the accused products do not infringe; an exceptional-case finding and fees under 35 U.S.C. § 285; and further relief. The complaint demands a jury under Rule 38.

Docket

Through November 5, 2026, the docket shows the complaint, a disclosure statement, and the patent and trademark form (AO 120). Watch for service on the defendant, its answer, counterclaims, or a Rule 12 motion, and any ruling on the requested Amazon-withdrawal injunction. The case can end at any time, including by settlement or voluntary dismissal.
