Zhongshan Besway Sues the Operator of Amazon's Belle-Direct Storefront Over a Kids' Bed Frame Design Patent.

Zhongshan Besway Technology Co., Ltd. v. Yeuk Fung GY International Limited, No. 4:26-cv-09703 (S.D. Tex., Houston Division), is a design patent infringement complaint filed November 4, 2026. The complaint says Besway is a Chinese company based in Zhongshan and alleges, on information and belief, that the defendant is a Hong Kong company. It says the defendant operates the Belle-Direct Amazon storefront and markets the accused products there under the BELLEMAVE brand. Jurisdiction is pleaded under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1338(a); personal jurisdiction under Rule 4(k)(1)(A) and the Texas long-arm statute or, alternatively, Rule 4(k)(2); and venue under 28 U.S.C. § 1391(c)(3). Besway demands a jury trial.

The patent

U.S. Design Patent D1,115,368, titled Single Bed Frame for Kids, issued March 3, 2026, from application 29/991,748, filed March 3, 2025. The patent lists Long Li of Zhongshan, China, as inventor and names Zhongshan Besway Technology Co., Ltd. as applicant and assignee. USPTO assignment records show an assignment of the patent recorded to Zhongshan Besway Technology Co., Ltd. Its single claim is to the ornamental design for a single bed frame for kids, as shown and described. The complaint says Besway owns all right, title, and interest in the patent.

What the complaint alleges

The complaint identifies thirteen accused bed frame listings, by ASIN, that it says the Belle-Direct storefront offered on Amazon in April and May 2026, after the patent issued. It alleges that an ordinary observer familiar with the prior art would find their overall ornamental appearance substantially the same as the claimed design. Its single count alleges direct infringement under 35 U.S.C. § 271(a).

Relief requested

The prayer seeks a judgment of infringement, damages under 35 U.S.C. § 284 with interest and costs, or alternatively the defendant's total profit under 35 U.S.C. § 289 without double recovery, a permanent injunction under 35 U.S.C. § 283, and an exceptional-case finding with attorneys' fees under 35 U.S.C. § 285.

Earlier suit

The complaint says Besway asserted the same patent against marketplace sellers, including Belle-Direct, in No. 1:26-cv-06031 (N.D. Ill.), filed May 22, 2026; that the court dismissed the initial complaint without prejudice on June 10, 2026; and that Besway voluntarily dismissed that action without prejudice on August 17, 2026, without a ruling on the merits.
