Plaintiff,

PROMOTIONS LLC, DAMON DASH MUSIC
GROUP LLC, DAMON DASH ENTERPRISES
I LLC, DAMON DASH, and KANYE WEST,
Defendants.
-----------------------------------------------------------------X
Plaintiff, Michael A. Medina, brings this second amended complaint against
Defendants, Dash Films Inc., Damon Dash Promotions LLC, Damon Dash Music Group
LLC, Damon Dash Enterprises I LLC, Damon Dash, and Kanye West, alleging as
follows:
DEFINITIONS
1. Loisaidas Clips refers to a series of short music videos entitled Loisaidas
produced by Defendants in 2015 and featuring a group that Defendants named
Loisaidas in 2015.
NATURE OF THE CASE
2. Plaintiff Michael A. Medina is an individual that started a Latin band performing
original musical compositions and sound recordings. In or about 2008, Mr. Medina
coined the name LOISAIDAS to identify music videos, musical performances, marketing
material, CD's, and other media from which the performances could be obtained by the
purchasing public.

Case 1:15-cv-02551-KBF Document 57 Filed 09/16/15 Page 2 of 19

3. In or about 2011, Mr. Medina applied for and obtained Registered Trademarks
for the LOISAIDAS word mark in Classes 9, 16, and 41 (hereinafter the Loisaidas
Trademarks).
4. On or about March of 2015, the Defendants Damon Dash and Kanye West,
along with their companies and organizations, began using the same exact mark
LOISAIDAS to identify the Loisaidas Clips.
5. Defendants LOISAIDAS Clips graphically depict a violent gangster-infused world
where drug dealing, mob wars, and murder are not only accepted as routine but are
glorified as a sort of nirvana.

with the LOISAIDAS Clips, is anathema to the Latin music and videos being marketed
and sold by the plaintiff under the LOISAIDAS trademarks.
