The complaint

Richards Packaging Holdings US Inc. v. Medical Buyers Group, LLC dba Integrity PRP and John Does 1-10, No. 1:26-cv-06746 (N.D. Ga.), is a 22-page complaint filed November 5, 2026 in the Atlanta Division, docketed with a jury demand and a request for preliminary injunction. The docket record lists District Judge Victoria M. Calvert as the assigned judge. Richards is a Delaware corporation based in Portland, Oregon. Medical Buyers Group is a Georgia limited liability company based in Dacula, Georgia, that the complaint alleges, on information and belief, does business as Integrity PRP. The Doe defendants are alleged, on information and belief, to be owned by or affiliated with it.

The mark

The complaint alleges that a United Arab Emirates company assigned the DERMAPEN registration, related applications, goodwill, and the right to sue, including for past damages to Richards on July 8, 2026, and that the assignment was recorded with the USPTO on July 13, 2026 at Reel/Frame 9334/0819. USPTO TSDR shows DERMAPEN in standard characters, Reg. No. 7,882,669 (Serial No. 88236207), registered August 5, 2025 on the Principal Register, owned by Richards Packaging Holdings US Inc., for medical devices and devices for nonsurgical cosmetic treatments, namely devices for nonsurgical cosmetic microdermabrasion skin treatments, in Class 10, with a claimed first use of March 1, 2011. The complaint describes the registration as covering devices for nonsurgical cosmetic "microdermabrasion and microneedling skin treatments." The complaint also claims common-law rights from use since 2011 by Richards, its licensees, and its predecessors, who it says invented the Dermapen microneedling tool.

What Richards alleges

According to the complaint, Integrity PRP began offering a "Microneedling Derma Pen" in or about 2022 and its website now offers at least three products using DERMAPEN or DERMA PEN, including "Derma Pen Replacement Cartridges" and "Derma pen protective sleeves." It alleges that the parties use the same trade channels, that people at trade shows told Richards' agents they thought they had bought Richards' products when Integrity PRP was the source, and that the assignor sent a cease-and-desist letter by email on or about October 12, 2025 that went unanswered.

Claims and relief

The complaint pleads registered trademark infringement under 15 U.S.C. § 1114(1)(a), trademark infringement and false designation of origin and unfair competition under 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a), and unjust enrichment, and calls the infringement willful. It asks for a declaration, preliminary and permanent injunctions that would also bar any mark combining DERM or DERMA with PEN, destruction of infringing materials, corrective advertising, a sworn compliance report, actual damages, the defendant's profits, treble damages under 15 U.S.C. § 1117, attorneys' fees, and interest.

Docket

The docket shows a certificate of interested persons, an electronic summons issued to Medical Buyers Group, the AO 120 form forwarded to the Commissioner on November 6, 2026, and clerk's letters on pro hac vice requirements.
