Hyde Park company wants competitor to stop pounding sand
By adamg on Sat, 02/28/2015 - 10:21pm
Dune Jewelry, which makes jewelry with lockets containing beach sand, is demanding a Florida company stop making jewelry containing beach sand.
In a lawsuit filed in US District Court in Boston this week, Dune says it holds two design patents on incorporating sand in jewelry, that it quartz Rebecca James LLC red handed violating those patents and that a judge should make that company knock it off.
Dune adds Rebecca James, which sells under the name Tropicality, is also infringing on its "Sandbar" trademark.
In addition to demanding Rebecca James stop with the sand, Dune wants money, treble damages and lawyers' fees.

I'm pretty sure children of both genders have been making sand jewelry for eons.
You do have to give them credit for getting sand in their locket at the beach and instead of being annoyed they had the great idea to sell what most people try to avoid.
I do feel bad for the local company if the designer thought this ingenious idea would be the next Canadian Goose craze but it's always sad when a trivial idea gets patented.
why can't someone create jewelry...
that keeps sand out of your shorts?
