Plaintiff
1 case as plaintiff.
Hexin Holding Limited is a privately held company incorporated in Hong Kong in 2017. It operates as a manufacturer and wholesaler of women's shapewear, sportswear, and other apparel, doing business under brand names including Waistdear and Shapellx. The company states it has been a shapewear manufacturer since 2011, with its own factory of 500 workers, and sells its products in over 150 countries.
Hexin Holding is an operating company that manufactures and sells a variety of apparel, with a focus on shapewear, yoga wear, and body shapers. The company describes itself as a fully integrated business with its own knitting, dyeing, and garment manufacturing operations. It offers wholesale, private label, and OEM/ODM services to its business customers.
Based on its litigation history, Hexin Holding is an operating company actively enforcing its intellectual property rights. The single tracked case shows the company as a plaintiff, a posture consistent with an operating company protecting its products. The company's lawsuits typically target large numbers of anonymous e-commerce sellers, often grouped as "Schedule A" defendants, in the Northern District of Illinois for alleged design patent and copyright infringement. This strategy is used to combat the sale of alleged counterfeit or copycat goods on platforms like Amazon and TikTok.
The case filed on April 18, 2026, Hexin Holdings Ltd v. Partnerships Unincorp Associations, alleges patent infringement related to an "ornamental design for a shaped support belt." This action follows a pattern seen in prior Hexin lawsuits, such as a 2025 case where the company won a default judgment and permanent injunction against online sellers for infringing a design patent on shapewear products.
