The razor industry’s dominant player claims Dollar Shave Club’s razors are in violation of a 2004 Gillette patent.
Gillette, a behemoth in the razor market, is putting the screws to popular e-commerce upstart Dollar Shave Club, in an attempt to curb its razor sales altogether. A suit filed by Gillette in federal court on Thursday alleges that Dollar Shave Club’s razors infringe on a patent it has held since 2004; Gillette has requested an injunction to bar Dollar Shave Club from selling the razors.
