Love To Dream™ is a market leader in designing innovative sleep systems for babies. Unfortunately, innovation can inspire copycats.
In May 2019, Love To Dream™ brought a patent infringement lawsuit against Halo Innovations, Inc. in a federal court in Minnesota. Love To Dream alleged in its complaint that Halo’s SleepSack Self-Soothing Swaddle product infringed Love To Dream’s U.S. Patent No. 9,179,711 for its SWADDLE UP™ products. The parties have agreed to settle the patent infringement lawsuit brought by Love To Dream on a confidential basis and out of court. As part of this settlement, Halo acknowledges that the ‘711 Patent is valid and enforceable. Also as part of the settlement, Love to Dream™ has agreed that, while Halo must immediately cease and desist the sale of the Accused Product, Halo’s retailers may sell their remaining inventory of the Accused Product.
Beware of imitations, even if they are sold under a different brand from our brands LOVE TO DREAM™, SWADDLE UP™, SWADDLE UP™ TRANSITION BAG or SUIT, LOVE TO DREAM SLEEP BAG™, LOVE TO DREAM SLEEP SUIT™, INVENTA Sleep Bag™ or NUZZLIN Sleep Bag™.
Love To Dream™ has successfully stopped & received compensation from businesses MIZZLE Pty Ltd (Tasmania) & Yoheved Edri trading as BONDI BOOTI (Sydney) from selling swaddle products on the basis that they infringe Love To Dream's registered patent rights. These products were sold under their own brands MIZZLE & BONDI BOOTI.
