Lite-Netics, LLC competes with Nu Tsai Capital, LLC d/b/a Holiday Bright Lights (HBL) in the market for holi- day string lights.

It also sent two notices, one before filing suit and one after, to its customers (in par- ticular, stores that sell the lights), some of which were also HBL customers, informing them of allegedly infringing competitors in the market and stating Lite-Netics’s intent to enforce its patent rights.
