claims for trademark infringement, false designation of origin, unfair competition

and dilution under the Lanham Act (15 U.S.C. § 1051 et seq.), and copyright

infringement under the Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 501(a)); and this Court has

supplemental jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1367(a) and 1338 (a)(b).10. This Court has personal jurisdiction over Defendants since

Defendants have committed the tortious and illegal activities of trademark

infringement, copyright infringement, patent infringement, and unfair competition

in this district and/or Defendants have sufficient minimum contacts with this

district such that the exercise of jurisdiction over Defendants by this Court does

not offend traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice. Among other

things, Defendants have advertised, offered to sell and have sold products that

infringe the trademarks of Plaintiff to consumers within this judicial district.

Defendants have also offered to sell and actually sold counterfeit products

(described more fully below) using an interactive internet website and knowing or

having reason to know that consumers throughout the United States, including

within this judicial district, would purchase said counterfeit goods from

Defendants, believing that they were authentic goods manufactured and

distributed by Plaintiff or its authorized manufacturers.

11. Additionally, supplemental jurisdiction exists over Defendants

because, on information and belief, Defendants conduct business in California and

in this judicial district, have purposefully directed action to California and this

district, or have otherwise availed themselves of the privileges and protections of

the laws of the State of California, such that this Court’s assertion of jurisdictionover Defendants does not offend traditional notions of fair play and due process.

12. Venue is proper, inter alia, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b) because

on information and belief, a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise

to the claim occurred in this judicial district, and has caused damages to Plaintiff

in this district. The counterfeit Speck®-branded products were purchased from

Good(s)”) using reproductions, counterfeits, copies and/or colorable imitations of

one or more of the subject Marks, Federally-Registered Copyrights, Common-Law Copyrights, and/or Design Patent. On information and belief, Plaintiff

31. Defendants also intentionally and knowingly delivered the

counterfeit products into the State of California.

32. Through such business activities, Defendants purposely derived

benefit from their interstate commerce activities by expressly targetingforeseeable purchasers in the State of California. But for Defendants’ advertising,

soliciting and selling of counterfeit Speck®-branded products, Plaintiff would not

have been able to make a purchase of the subject products.

33. Defendants use images and names confusingly similar or identical to

Plaintiff’s Marks to confuse consumers and aid in the promotion and sales of its

unauthorized and counterfeit product. Defendants’ use of Plaintiff’s Marks,

Copyright, and Design Patent include importing, advertising, displaying,

distributing, selling and/or offering to sell Counterfeit Goods.

34. Defendants’ use began long after Plaintiff’s adoption and use of its

trademarks, and after Plaintiff obtained the trademark and copyright registrations

alleged above. Neither Plaintiff nor any authorized agents have consented to

Defendants’ use of Plaintiff’s Marks, Federally-Registered Copyrights, Common-

Law Copyrights, and/or Design Patent.

35. Defendants’ actions have confused and deceived, or threatened to

confuse and deceive, the consuming public concerning the source and sponsorship

of the counterfeit Speck products sold and distributed by Defendants. By their

wrongful conduct, Defendants have traded upon and diminished Plaintiff’s

goodwill. Furthermore, the sale and distribution of Counterfeit Goods by

Defendants have infringed upon Plaintiff’s Marks, Federally-RegisteredCopyrights, Common-Law Copyrights, and/or Design Patent.

36. Defendants’ offering to sell, selling, importing and encouraging

others to import Counterfeit Goods in this manner was and is likely to cause

confusion or to cause mistake and/or to deceive consumers who purchase the

Counterfeit Goods. Defendants also offered to sell, sold, imported, and/or

THIRD CAUSE OF ACTION

(Trademark Dilution Against Defendant PATRICK MATTSON, Defendant

STU DISTRIBUTION SERVICES, LLC, Defendant MD5

TECHNOLOGIES, and DOES 1-10, Inclusive)

[15 U.S.C. § 1125(c)]

47. Plaintiff hereby incorporates by reference each of the other

allegations set forth elsewhere in this Complaint as though fully set forth in this

cause of action.

48. Plaintiff’s Marks are distinctive and famous within the meaning of

the Lanham Act .

49. Upon information and belief, Defendants’ unlawful actions began

long after Plaintiff’s Marks became famous, and Defendants acted knowingly,

deliberately and willfully with the intent to trade on Plaintiff’s reputation and to

dilute Plaintiff’s Marks. Defendants’ conduct is willful, wanton and egregious.

50. Defendants’ intentional sale of fake, pirated and counterfeit items

bearing Plaintiff’s Marks is likely to cause confusion, mistake, or to deceive,

mislead, betray, and defraud consumers to believe that the substandard imitations

are genuine products manufactured by Plaintiff. The actions of Defendants

complained of herein have diluted and will continue to dilute Plaintiff’s Marks,

and are likely to impair the distinctiveness, strength and value of Plaintiff’sMarks, and injure the business reputation of Plaintiff and its marks.

51. Defendants’ acts have caused and will continue to cause Plaintiff

irreparable harm. Plaintiff has no adequate remedy at law to compensate it fully

for the damages that have been caused and which will continue to be caused by

Defendants’ unlawful acts, unless they are enjoined by this Court.

cause of action.

58. Plaintiff is the exclusive owner of copyrights in and related to its

Speck®–branded products packaging, having numerous applications relating to

protected works by offering, advertising, promoting, retailing, selling, and

distributing counterfeit Speck-branded products contained within product

packaging which is at a minimum substantially similar to Plaintiff’s copyright

61.

Defendants’ acts as alleged herein, constitute infringement ofPlaintiff’s copyright, including Plaintiff’s exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute

and/or sell such protected material.

[California Civil Code §980 et seq., and California Common Law]



cause of action.

64.

At all times relevant herein, Plaintiff has held and still holds the

exclusive rights under California law and common law to reproduce, distribute, or

license the reproduction and distribution of the artwork, design, pictures,

representation, model and patterns protected by Plaintiff’s Common-Law

Copyrights in any and all formats and mediums, throughout the United States.

65. The artwork, design, pictures, representation, model and pattern of

protected by Plaintiff’s Common-Law Copyrights are original works in tangible

form which have been widely disseminated and published since at least in or

about September 2001.

66. The conduct herein complained of was extreme, outrageous,

fraudulent, and was inflicted on Plaintiff in reckless disregard of Plaintiff’s

rights. Defendants’ acts have irreparably harmed and continue to harm Plaintiff’s

exclusive proprietary rights and constitute common law copyright infringementand unfair competition. Defendants’ outrageous conduct supports an award of

exemplary and punitive damages in an amount sufficient to punish and make an

example of Defendants and to deter them from similar conduct in the future.

67. Each infringing transfer, duplication, sale, rental, distribution, display

and other exploitation of the artwork, design, pictures, representation, model and
