Imitation Sani-Pen Surrendered to Natural Trends

Natural Trends, a leading supplier of hand sanitizer, based out of Provo, Utah, announced a large quantity of patent-violating product has been surrendered to the company by an unnamed industry competitor.

According to Paul Christensen, president of Natural Trends, the product is described as a lesser-grade imitation of the company's popular Sani-Pen-Instant Hand Sanitizer Spray. The product was fabricated in China and imported to the U.S. in violation of design and utility patents held by Natural Trends.
