JURISDICTION / VENUE
8
9
13.
This Court has Federal subject matter jurisdiction over this matter
10
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1331 and 1338(a) and (b), in that the case arises out of
11
claims for trademark infringement, false designation of origin, unfair competition
12
and dilution under the Lanham Act (15 U.S.C. 1051 et seq.), copyright
13
infringement under the Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. 501(a)), and design patent
14
infringement under the U.S. Patent Act (35 U.S.C. 1 et seq.); and this Court has
15
supplemental jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1367(a) and 1338 (a)(b).
16
14.
This Court has personal jurisdiction over Defendants since
17
Defendants have committed the tortious and illegal activities of trademark
18
infringement, copyright infringement, patent infringement, and unfair competition
19
in this district and/or Defendants have sufficient minimum contacts with this
20
district such that the exercise of jurisdiction over Defendants by this Court does
21
not offend traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice. Among other
22
things, Defendants have advertised, offered to sell, sold, and distributed products
23
that infringe the trademarks, copyrights, and design patents of Plaintiff to
24
consumers within this judicial district. Defendants have also offered to sell, sold,
25
and distributed counterfeit products (described more fully below) using an
26
interactive internet website knowing or having reason to know that consumers
27
throughout the United States, including within this judicial district, would
28
purchase said counterfeit goods from Defendants, believing that they were
-4-
authentic goods manufactured and distributed by Plaintiff or its authorized
manufacturers.
15.
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 Courts assertion of jurisdiction
over Defendants does not offend traditional notions of fair play and due process.
16.
Venue is proper, inter alia, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1391(b) because
10
on information and belief, a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise
11
to the claim occurred in this judicial district, and has caused damages to Plaintiff
12
in this district. The counterfeit Speck-branded products were purchased from
13
California and Defendants purposefully shipped these counterfeit products into
14
California. Defendants actions within this district directly interfere with and
15
damage Plaintiffs commercial efforts and endeavors and harm Plaintiffs
16
goodwill within this venue. Additionally, Plaintiff conducts substantial business
17
within this venue.

Defendants Wrongful and Infringing Conduct
21
27.
22
Defendants use, amongst other things, the Internet auction website
23
known as www.ebay.com (eBay) to sell and distribute products, including
24
counterfeit hard goods bearing Plaintiffs Marks, embodying Plaintiffs
25
Copyrights, and utilizing Plaintiffs Patent described above, to consumers. At any

given time, there are millions of items listed on eBay.com for purchase by its
27
more than 200 million registered users.
28
///
-8-
28.
Beginning on a date that is currently unknown to Plaintiff and
continuing to the present, Defendants have, without the consent of Plaintiff,
offered to sell and sold within the United States (including within this judicial
district) goods that were neither made by Plaintiff nor by a manufacturer
authorized by Plaintiff (such goods are hereafter referred to as Counterfeit
Goods) using reproductions, counterfeits, copies and/or colorable imitations of
one or more of Plaintiffs Marks, Plaintiffs Copyrights, and Plaintiffs Patent.
29.
On information and belief, Plaintiff further alleges that Defendants
imported said Counterfeit Goods into the United States, or encouraged others to
10
import said Counterfeit Goods into the United States, for the purpose of reselling
11
the Counterfeit Goods in the United States and within the Central District of
12
California.
13
30.
Defendants own and operate at least two (2) known web stores on
14
eBay using the seller IDs drsmartphonesgroup and md5technologies. Through
15
these web stores, Defendants regularly and systematically used Plaintiffs Marks
16
in advertising and marketing and distributed and sold Counterfeit Goods bearing
17
Plaintiffs Marks, embodying Plaintiffs Copyrights, and comprised of Plaintiffs
18
Design Patent.

On or about January 29, 2013, Plaintiff purchased a purported

Plaintiffs
Defendants intentionally and knowingly accepted Plaintiffs money
from a financial institution located in the State of California.

- 10 -
1
2
3
36.
Defendants
also
intentionally and
knowingly delivered
the
Counterfeit Goods into the State of California.

37.
Through such business activities, Defendants purposely derived
benefit from their interstate commerce activities by expressly targeting
foreseeable purchasers in the State of California. But for Defendants advertising,
soliciting and selling of counterfeit SPECK-branded CANDYSHELL products,
Plaintiff would not have been able to make a purchase of the subject products.
38.
Defendants use images and names confusingly similar or identical to
Plaintiffs Marks to confuse consumers and aid in the promotion and sales of their
10
unauthorized and Counterfeit Goods. Defendants use Plaintiffs Marks, Plaintiffs
11
Copyrights, and Plaintiffs Patent, without authorization, to import, advertise,
12
display, offer to sell, sell, and distribute Counterfeit Goods.
13
39.
Defendants use began long after Plaintiffs adoption and use of
14
Plaintiffs Marks, and after Plaintiff obtained trademark, copyright, and patent
15
registrations alleged above. Neither Plaintiff nor any authorized agents have
16
consented to Defendants use of Plaintiffs Marks, Plaintiffs Copyrights, or
17
Plaintiffs Patent.
18
40.
Defendants actions have confused and deceived, or threatened to
19
confuse and deceive, the consuming public concerning the source and sponsorship
20
of the Counterfeit Goods sold and distributed by Defendants. By their wrongful
21
conduct, Defendants have traded upon and diminished Plaintiffs goodwill.
22
Furthermore, the sale and distribution of Counterfeit Goods by Defendants have
23
infringed upon Plaintiffs Marks, Plaintiffs Copyrights and/or Plaintiffs Patent.
24
41.
Defendants offering to sell, selling, importing and encouraging
25
others to import Counterfeit Goods in this manner was and is likely to cause
26
confusion or to cause mistake and/or to deceive consumers who purchase the
27
Counterfeit Goods.
28
encouraged others to import for purpose of resale within the United States
Defendants also offered to sell, sold, imported, and/or
- 11 -
Counterfeit Goods consisting of reproductions and/or copies of products bearing
Plaintiffs Marks, embodying Plaintiffs Copyrights, and utilizing Plaintiffs
Patent. Defendants use of such marks, copyrights, and patent was done without
Plaintiffs authorization.
FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION
(Trademark Infringement Against Defendants PATRICK MATTSON, STU
DISTRIBUTION SERVICES, LLC, MD5 TECHNOLOGIES, and DOES 1-
10, Inclusive)
[15 U.S.C. 1114/Lanham Act 43(a)]

42.
10
Plaintiff hereby incorporates by reference each of the other
11
allegations set forth elsewhere in this First Amended Complaint as though fully
12
set forth in this cause of action.

43.
13
14
Defendants actions as described herein constitute direct and/or
contributory trademark infringement in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1114(1)(a).

44.
15
As a proximate result of Defendants trademark infringement,
16
Plaintiff has been damaged in an amount to be proven at trial. Further, Plaintiff
17
alleges on information and belief that, as a proximate result of Defendants
18
trademark infringement, Defendants have unlawfully profited in an amount to be
19
proven at trial.
45.
20
At all relevant times, Defendants acted intentionally and/or willfully
21
in using Plaintiffs Marks on the Counterfeit Goods, knowing that Plaintiffs
22
Marks belonged to Plaintiff, that the Counterfeit Goods were in fact counterfeit,
23
and that Defendants were not authorized to use Plaintiffs Marks on the
24
Counterfeit Goods. Plaintiff is therefore entitled to recovery of treble damages
25
pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1117(a). Further, Defendants knowing, intentional and/or
26
willful actions make this an exceptional case, entitling Plaintiff to an award of
27
reasonable attorney fees pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1117(a).
28
///
- 12 -
46.
Defendants actions also constitute the use by Defendants of one or
more counterfeit marks as defined in 15 U.S.C. 1116(d)(1)(B).
therefore reserves the right to elect, at any time before final judgment is entered in
this case, an award of statutory damages pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1117(c)(1) and/or
(2).
47.
Plaintiff
The acts of direct and/or contributory trademark infringement
committed by Defendants have caused, and will continue to cause, Plaintiff
irreparable harm unless they are enjoined by this Court.
SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION
10
(False Designation of Origin, False or Misleading Advertising Against
11
Defendants PATRICK MATTSON, STU DISTRIBUTION SERVICES, LLC,
12
MD5 TECHNOLOGIES, and DOES 1-10, Inclusive)
13
[15 U.S.C. 1125 (a)]
14
48.
15
allegations set forth elsewhere in this First Amended Complaint as thought fully
16
17
49.
Defendants actions as described herein constitute direct and/or
18
contributory violation of 15 U.S.C. 1125(a)(1)(A), as such actions are likely to
19
cause confusion, or to cause mistake, or to deceive as to the affiliation,
20
connection, or association of Defendants with Plaintiff and/or as to the origin,
21
sponsorship, and/or approval of such Counterfeit Goods by Plaintiff.
22
50.
As a proximate result of Defendants violation as described herein,
23
Plaintiff has been damaged in an amount to be proven at trial. Further, Plaintiff
24
alleges on information and belief that, as a proximate result of defendants direct
25
and/or contributory trademark infringement, Defendants have unlawfully profited,
26
in an amount to be proven at trial.
27
28
51.
Defendants acts of violating, directly and/or contributorily 15 U.S.C.
1125 have caused, and will continue to cause, Plaintiff irreparable harm unless
- 13 -
they are enjoined by this Court.
THIRD CAUSE OF ACTION
(Trademark Dilution Against Defendants PATRICK MATTSON, STU
10, Inclusive)
[15 U.S.C. 1125(c)]
52.
10
53.
Plaintiffs Marks are distinctive and famous within the meaning of
11
the Lanham Act.
12
54.
Upon information and belief, Defendants unlawful actions began
13
long after Plaintiffs Marks became famous, and Defendants acted knowingly,
14
deliberately and willfully with the intent to trade on Plaintiffs reputation and to
15
dilute Plaintiffs Marks. Defendants conduct is willful, wanton and egregious.
16
55.
Defendants intentional sale of fake, pirated Counterfeit Goods
17
bearing Plaintiffs Marks is likely to cause confusion, mistake, or to deceive,
18
mislead, betray, and defraud consumers to believe that the substandard imitations
19
are genuine products manufactured by Plaintiff.
20
complained of herein have diluted and will continue to dilute Plaintiffs Marks,
21
and are likely to impair the distinctiveness, strength and value of Plaintiffs
22
Marks, and injure the business reputation of Plaintiff and its marks.
23
56.
The actions of Defendants
Defendants acts have caused and will continue to cause Plaintiff
24
irreparable harm. Plaintiff has no adequate remedy at law to compensate it fully
25
for the damages that have been caused and which will continue to be caused by
26
Defendants unlawful acts, unless they are enjoined by this Court.
27
28
57.
As the acts alleged herein constitute a willful violation of section
43(c) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. 1125(c), Plaintiff is entitled to injunctive

- 14 -
relief as well as monetary damages and other remedies provided by 15 U.S.C.
1116, 1117, 1118, and 1125(c), including Defendants profits, treble damages,
reasonable attorneys fees, costs and prejudgment interest.
FOURTH CAUSE OF ACTION
(Unfair Competition Against Defendants PATRICK MATTSON, STU
10, Inclusive)
California Business & Professions Code 17200 et seq.

58.
10
11

59.
12
Defendants actions described herein constitute unlawful, unfair
13
and/or fraudulent business acts or practices. Defendants actions thus constitute
