PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Dreams USA, Inc. has secured two preliminary injunctions against alleged infringers of its trademarked and copyrighted Sonny Angel®, HIPPERS® and Smiski® mini-figures.
Article content
The surging popularity of Dreams’ products has spawned a stream of counterfeit products entering the U.S. market. Dreams continues to police and pursue legal action against infringers, including kiosk operators, C-store owners, franchisees, brick-and-mortar stores, web-based platforms, and social media sellers to prevent the sale of unauthorized and inferior products to unsuspecting consumers, and to protect our authorized distributors from financial harm. Dreams USA is the only lawful source for Sonny Angel®, HIPPERS® and Smiski® products in the Americas. Authentic Sonny Angel®, HIPPERS® and Smiski® products and a list of authorized U.S. distributors can be found at www.sonnyangelusa.com.
