Ozma Files Two District of New Mexico Suits on a Blanket-Based Structures Patent Against Lukidoki USA and WESTB.

The two complaints

On October 20, 2026, Ozma LLC filed Ozma LLC v. Lukidoki USA LLC d/b/a Hengtai Rising Splendor LLC, No. 1:26-cv-03520 (D.N.M.), and Ozma LLC v. WESTB Limited Liability Company, No. 1:26-cv-03521 (D.N.M.). Each pleading is a complaint for patent infringement, ECF No. 1. The Lukidoki complaint is 17 pages. The WESTB complaint is 10 pages. Jamie Bame of Workman Nydegger in Salt Lake City, Utah, signed both, and both list Collin D. Hansen and Jeremy S. Pratt of the same firm as counsel for Ozma. The dockets list the Lukidoki case as assigned to Magistrate Judge John F. Robbenhaar and the WESTB case to Magistrate Judge Kevin R. Sweazea, with Magistrate Judge Laura Fashing as the referral judge in both.

The parties, jurisdiction, and venue

Both complaints say Ozma is a Utah limited liability company with its principal place of business in Draper, Utah. They describe Ozma as "a family-owned business specializing in innovative blanket fort construction systems" and name its Tote-a-Fort system. Each says Ozma's Tote-a-Fort products practice at least one embodiment of the claimed invention. Each alleges that Ozma is the owner by assignment of all right, title, and interest in U.S. Patent No. 10,433,662.

The Lukidoki complaint alleges, on information and belief, that Lukidoki USA LLC is a New Mexico limited liability company that conducts business under the alternate business name Hengtai Rising Splendor LLC. The complaint calls the defendant Hengtai. It pleads personal jurisdiction on that allegation and because Hengtai sells and ships products in New Mexico. It pleads venue under 28 U.S.C. 1400(b) on the ground that the defendant is organized under New Mexico law and therefore resides in the district for purposes of patent venue.

The WESTB complaint alleges, on information and belief, that WESTB Limited Liability Company is a New Mexico limited liability company. It pleads personal jurisdiction on that allegation and because WESTB sells and ships products in New Mexico. It pleads venue under 28 U.S.C. 1400(b) on the ground that WESTB is organized under New Mexico law and therefore resides in the district for purposes of patent venue.

Both complaints plead subject matter jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. 1331 and 1338(a).

Claim 1 of the '662 patent

Both complaints identify U.S. Patent No. 10,433,662 as titled Blanket-Based Structures. Google Patents lists an issue date of October 8, 2019, a filing date of March 15, 2019, a priority date of February 24, 2017, and inventors Kris Distefano and Vennessa Distefano. It lists the status as active.

Each complaint quotes claim 1, asserts at least claim 1, and says claim 1 is representative. Claim 1 covers a system for assembling or modifying a blanket-based structure, comprising an enclosure element that comprises one or more attachment mechanisms fixedly attached to the enclosure element and configured to detachably associate with one or more environmental structures, a plurality of eyelets disposed adjacent to the perimeter of the enclosure element, and one or more weights selectively attachable to the enclosure element by one or more securing straps at one or more of the attachment mechanisms, the plurality of eyelets, or combinations thereof, such that the weights are configured to be suspended from the perimeter of the enclosure element by the securing straps.

The accused kits

The Lukidoki complaint alleges, on information and belief, that Hengtai has made, used, sold, offered for sale, or imported blanket fort building kits, including the products identified by UPC 627987259001, UPC 782570619126, UPC 715614932356, and UPC 782570619119, and substantially similar products, and that those products directly compete with Ozma's Tote-a-Fort products. It alleges, on information and belief, that Hengtai offers and sells the accused products through eBay, Amazon, and www.lukidoki.com. The complaint sets out a claim 1 chart for each of the four UPCs. UPC 715614932356 and UPC 782570619119 are the same two UPCs named in the amended complaint in Ozma LLC v. Triumvirate Consulting LLC, No. 5:26-cv-02801 (W.D. Okla.).

The WESTB complaint alleges, on information and belief, that WESTB has made, used, sold, offered for sale, or imported blanket fort building kits, including the product identified by UPC 756190700762 and substantially similar products, which directly compete with Ozma's Tote-a-Fort products, and that WESTB offers and sells them through online marketplaces including eBay. The complaint sets out one claim 1 chart for that UPC.

The count and the relief sought

Each complaint pleads one count of direct infringement under 35 U.S.C. 271(a), literally or under the doctrine of equivalents. Each alleges that the accused products directly compete with Ozma's patented products and that the infringement has caused lost profits, diverted sales, loss of market share, and irreparable injury.

Each complaint asks for a declaration that the patent is valid and enforceable, a judgment of infringement, a permanent injunction under 35 U.S.C. 283, and damages under 35 U.S.C. 284, including lost profits or a reasonable royalty, with interest and costs. Both complaints demand a jury.
