If an applicant in a Federal Circuit Court case doesn’t know who was involved in a contravention until during discovery and witness testimony, are those involved in a contravention still liable for pecuniary penalties if they have not been specifically accused of such in the application and statement of claim?

If the application simply states to seek Pecuniary penalties from “those involved in the contravention”, is that sufficient or not?

No. You do an amended application.
