name Gold Glove Boot Camp and maintains a website located at the URL
www.goldglovebootcamp.com for the promotion and sale of training camps. A screen shot is
attached as Exhibit C. ABAs coaches have spent over two decades providing baseball and
softball services, namely, camps and individual athlete and team coaching services. ABAs
coaches are considered to be some of the best in the state of Kansas and are often sought after
by individuals and teams looking for someone with baseball and softball expertise, who can
provide baseball and softball camps and coaching services. ABAs baseball and softball camps
and coaching services constitute a substantial and important part of ABAs business.
13. ABA actively and prominently promotes its services in Kansas and Missouri

advertisements, print advertisements and business cards.

GOLD GLOVE BOOT CAMP which serves as a word mark (ABA WORD MARK). ABA
began using the ABA WORD MARK at least as early as 2012.

materials. ABAs logo is unique and distinctive logo formed with a pair of mirrored Gs using a
yellow color (ABA LOGO MARK). ABA actively and prominently promotes its services in
Kansas and Missouri using its distinctive logo.
16. ABA has used the ABA WORD MARK substantially and continuously prior to
use by Seeling, Anderson, and GLA. ABA has expended substantial amounts of money
promoting the ABA WORD MARK and as such, the ABA WORD MARK serves to identify
ABA as the source of services bearing the marks.
17. The ABA WORD MARK serves as its common law trademark in its advertising
and promotional materials. ABA actively and prominently promotes its services in Kansas and
throughout the U.S. using its word mark.
18. ABA has used the ABA LOGO MARK substantially and continuously prior to
use by Seeling, Anderson, and GLA. ABA has expended substantial amounts of money
promoting the ABA LOGO MARK and as such, the ABA LOGO MARK serves to identify

filed on September 1, 2014 and is presently pending as serial number 86/382,140.
21. ABA used the TM identifier in connection with its ABA LOGO MARK on its
website and print material, and based upon information and belief, that use was made known to

Seelings and Andersons Conduct
22. Upon information and belief, defendant Seeling and defendant Anderson
(collectively referred to as Gold Glove Defendants) acted in concert while doing business under
their respective d/b/as. Gold Glove Baseball and Softball Academy and Gold Glove Baseball
and Softball are one in the same.
23. Upon information and belief, Gold Glove Defendants started doing business on or
around November of 2013. Gold Glove Defendants services are identical or nearly identical to
those of ABA. For instance, Gold Glove Defendants offer baseball and softball camps and
coaching services. Gold Glove Defendants services, however, are less expensive and are a lower
quality.
24. Gold Glove Defendants are promoting their services in Kansas using the ABA
LOGO MARK in their advertisements, including, but not limited to, online, print and
promotional materials. A copy of Gold Glove Defendants website is attached as Exhibit D.
25. Gold Glove Defendants are also promoting their services in Kansas and around the
U.S. using the term Gold Glove KC (the FIRST COPIED MARK) in their advertisements,
including, but not limited to, online, print and promotional materials, in connection with the same
services as ABA, the FIRST COPIED MARK being confusingly similar to the ABA WORD
MARK.

Kansas Office of the Secretary of State for the SECOND COPIED MARK on September 26,
2014, which was after the date the original Complaint was served on Seeling. A screenshot from
the State of Kansas Office of the Secretary of States website showing the Trademark / Service-
Mark Search Details for the SECOND COPIED MARK is attached as Exhibit E.
28. Amongst other things, Exhibit E shows that the date of first use in both Kansas
and elsewhere for the SECOND COPIED MARK was November 23, 2013, which is subsequent
to ABAs first use of the ABA WORD MARK.

LOGO MARK and the ABA WORD MARK (ABA MARKS).

ABA sent Seeling a letter to try and amicably resolve the matter. Seeling, however, did not reply
to ABAs letter. A copy of the returned card is attached as Exhibit B.

15 U.S.C. 1125

56. ABA incorporates by reference the allegations of each of the above paragraphs as
if fully set forth herein.
57. This count is pled against Defendant Google.
58. Google exercises dominion and control over the websites it hosts including
www.goldglovekc.com and thus exercises dominion and control over Gold Glove Defendants
