Target Corp., the Minneapolis-based retail chain, was sued for patent infringement by a Philadelphia-based garment manufacturer.

Destination Maternity Corp. accuses Target and its supplier of infringing patent RE43,531, which was issued July 24. The patent covers a garment with an expandable belly panel and a torso-encircling circumference that recedes downward to make room for the growing abdomen of a pregnant woman.
