Case overview

• Plaintiff: Dyson Technology Limited (a Dyson group company)
• Court: U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois
• Filed: October 23, 2026
• Status: Filed. The plaintiff also filed a “Leave to File” procedural document the same day, which in Schedule A cases is typically used to seek leave to file the defendant list and other materials under seal.

This is Dyson’s 3rd case in the Northern District of Illinois this week, after 26-cv-12807 and 26-cv-12970.

The complaint and Schedule A defendant list are not yet public; the rights and products at issue will be updated.

What may happen next

Schedule A plaintiffs usually move for a TRO within days of filing. Once granted, marketplaces freeze defendants’ funds.

Seller checklist

• Check for products that look like Dyson hair dryers, stylers, vacuums, or fans
• For compatible accessories using “for Dyson,” make clear they are compatible items and avoid Dyson logos or official images
• Check whether images or descriptions imply an affiliation with Dyson
