What the complaint alleges
Eli Zhadanov sued Homewerks Worldwide, LLC in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, alleging that Homewerks’ Nevis line of handheld showerheads sold under Lowe’s Allen + Roth brand infringes two of Zhadanov’s patents (U.S. Patent Nos. 12,485,435 and 11,992,850) covering a 2-Mode Power Wash feature.
