Company profile

Zhuhai Hengyunda Electronics Co., Ltd. (Chinese: 珠海市恒韵达电子有限公司), which sells under the trade name Upriin, is a privately held Chinese company registered in Zhuhai, Guangdong. Chinese business registries (Tianyancha) show it was incorporated on August 10, 2023, with a registered capital of RMB 100,000 and legal representative/sole shareholder Xie Hengying (谢恒膺); its registered address is in the Hengqin area of Zhuhai. It is not publicly listed. Public sources do not provide reliable revenue or headcount figures; its registered capital and a 2023 annual filing indicating a single employee are consistent with a small enterprise, but this cannot be independently confirmed.

Products / operations. The company operates in the printer-consumables trade, selling aftermarket ink cartridges and related components under the Upriin brand. It appears in US International Trade Commission proceedings as a respondent in the ink-cartridge supply chain, alongside numerous other Zhuhai- and Guangdong-based cartridge sellers and e-commerce entities. Detailed product lines beyond compatible ink cartridges are not documented in the sources reviewed; no manufacturing scale, plant, or distribution data could be verified.

Litigation posture. This is an operating company, not a patent assertion entity. The tracked data show one case, in which it is a defendant (0 as plaintiff), which is the profile of a company being attacked rather than one asserting a portfolio. Its sole tracked matter is a Section 337 proceeding at the U.S. International Trade Commission in Washington, D.C., an exclusion-order forum rather than a district court, so no Eastern District of Texas clustering applies.

Notable case / context. The tracked matter is Epson Portland Inc. et al. v. Dongguan Ocbestjet Digital Technology Co., Ltd. d/b/a Ocbestjet et al. (filed May 13, 2025). Seiko Epson, Epson Portland, and Epson America complained under Section 337 against roughly 19 Chinese cartridge makers and sellers, including Hengyunda/Upriin. The ITC instituted the investigation on June 12, 2025 as Certain Ink Cartridges and Components Thereof II (337-TA-1452), with a companion investigation (337-TA-1451) also naming the company. Context: global OEMs such as Epson have pursued coordinated ITC actions against the large Chinese third-party cartridge sector. No merits determinations specific to this company are characterized here.
