in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in
Chicago, alleges that S&S Truck Parts, Inc., of Schaumburg,
Ill., has unlawfully labeled its materials with several Dana
trademarks, and is infringing at least one of Dana's
universal-joint patents. Dana is seeking an order requiring the
company to cease its deceptive actions, as well as unspecified
damages. Nick Cole, president of Dana's Heavy Vehicle Technologies
and Systems Group, said, "Dana views the infringement and
misrepresentation of our products as a very serious matter. We
invested tremendous amount of time, effort, and expense to provide
our customers with the best possible products. It's unfortunate
when individuals attempt to deceive these same customers. They need
to be protected, as do companies such as Dana, which is widely
recognized for its technological accomplishments with a strong
brand name." Dana Corporation is a global leader in the design,
engineering, and manufacture of value-added products and systems
for automotive, commercial, and off-highway vehicle manufacturers
and their related aftermarkets. The company employs approximately
60,000 people worldwide. Founded in 1904 and based in Toledo, Ohio,
Dana operates hundreds of technology, manufacturing, and customer
