Ozma Sues an Oklahoma City Seller and an Individual Over a Blanket Fort Building Kit, Asserting a Blanket-Based Structures Patent.

The parties and the court

The case is Ozma LLC v. Triumvirate Consulting LLC, No. 5:26-cv-02801 (W.D. Okla.), filed October 7, 2026. Ozma filed an amended complaint on October 14, 2026 (ECF No. 4), which is the operative pleading described here. Ozma is a Utah limited liability company based in Draper, Utah. The amended complaint alleges, on information and belief, that Triumvirate is an Oklahoma limited liability company with its principal place of business in Oklahoma City, and that Colton Murphy, the individual defendant it adds, is Triumvirate's sole principal and resides in Oklahoma City. It pleads personal jurisdiction over Murphy because he resides in the district and pleads venue under 28 U.S.C. 1400(b), alleging that both defendants reside in Oklahoma City. Ozma is represented by Ed White Law and demands a jury. The case is assigned to Judge David L. Russell.

The patent and the asserted claim

U.S. Patent No. 10,433,662, titled "Blanket-Based Structures," issued October 8, 2019, and claims priority to Application No. 15/442,262, filed February 24, 2017, now U.S. Patent No. 10,307,002. The amended complaint alleges that Ozma owns all right, title, and interest in the patent and that the assignment is recorded at the USPTO at Reel 075356, Frame 0276 (Exhibit 2). Google Patents lists an anticipated expiration date of February 24, 2037.

The amended complaint asserts at least claim 1. 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 it and configured to detachably associate with one or more environmental structures, a plurality of eyelets disposed adjacent to its perimeter, and one or more weights selectively attachable to it by one or more securing straps at one or more of the attachment mechanisms, the eyelets, or combinations thereof, such that the weights are configured to be suspended from the perimeter of the enclosure element by the straps.

The accused product

The amended complaint calls the accused products the Magic Kids Fort Building and identifies them by UPC 715614932356 and UPC 782570619119. It alleges that they include each element of claim 1, refers to a claim chart attached as Exhibit 3, and alleges sales to customers in the district, including the Magic Fort Building Kit, and advertising through websites such as eBay.com.

Relief sought

The single count alleges direct infringement, literally or under the doctrine of equivalents, and alleges on information and belief that the infringement has been willful. The count's infringement allegations refer to "Defendant" in the singular and to Triumvirate; they do not separately describe conduct by Murphy. The prayer runs against both defendants and asks for a judgment of infringement under 35 U.S.C. 281, a permanent injunction under 35 U.S.C. 283 that names the two UPCs, damages no less than a reasonable royalty with interest under 35 U.S.C. 284, enhanced damages for willfulness under 35 U.S.C. 284, an accounting, and a determination that the case is exceptional with an award of attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses under 35 U.S.C. 285.

What the amendment changed and service

Compared with the original complaint, the amended complaint adds Murphy as a defendant along with the jurisdiction and venue allegations about him, identifies the accused products by two UPCs, attaches the recorded assignment as a new Exhibit 2 (the claim chart moves to Exhibit 3), and directs the prayer against both defendants. A summons returned executed was filed on October 19, 2026 (ECF No. 5).

What to watch next

Watch for the defendants' answers or motions under Rule 12 directed to the amended complaint, and for the scheduling order. Also watch whether Ozma files suits on the same patent against other sellers.
