I. PARTIES
1. iovation is a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State
of Delaware and having its principal place of business at 111 SW Fifth Avenue, Suite 3200,
Portland, Oregon. iovation is a leader in online security and fraud prevention.
2. IOvations is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Massachusetts.
Upon information and belief, its principal place of business is 26 Ray Avenue, Burlington,
Massachusetts.
II. JURISDICTION AND VENUE
3. This is an action for trademark infringement, false designation of origin, and
unfair competition arising under the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. 1051 et seq., and the common law
of Oregon and other states. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. 1331
(federal question), 1338(a) (trademark claims), 1338(b) (related claims of unfair competition),
and 1367 (supplemental jurisdiction), and 15 U.S.C. 1121 (Lanham Act actions).
4. IOvations is subject to personal jurisdiction in this judicial district because, with
knowledge of iovations superior trademark rights, it has committed acts of trademark
infringement, false designation of origin, and unfair competition that it knows or should
reasonably foresee will cause harm to iovation in this judicial district.
5. Venue is proper in this district under 28 U.S.C. 1391.
III. IOVATIONS RIGHTS IN THE IOVATION TRADE NAME AND TRADEMARKS
6. iovation is a leader in online security and fraud prevention services. iovation sells
computer security and fraud prevention services to customers nationwide and throughout the
world.
7. iovation has used the term IOVATION as a trade name and trademark since at
least as early as June 1, 2004 and has spent considerable amounts promoting and protecting the
IOVATION mark. iovation owns U.S. Trademark Registration No. 3,313,470, for IOVATION
for fraud detection software and for computer services, namely acting as an application

service provider by hosting computer software applications for fraud detection; computer
software development; and installation and maintenance of fraud detection software in
International Classes 9 and 42, respectively. This registration is valid, subsisting, and
incontestable under the provisions of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. 1065 and, together with
iovations common law rights in the IOVATION mark, is referred to as the IOVATION
Trademark. A copy of U.S. Trademark Registration No. 3,313,470 is attached as Exhibit A.
8. iovation owns the domain <iovation.com> and has a website at
www.iovation.com that promotes iovations goods and services.
9. IOVATION is an arbitrary or fanciful mark with respect to the goods and services
with which iovation uses it, and thus is a strong mark.
10. As a result of iovations long historyas well as the quality of the computer
security and fraud prevention services iovation sellsthe IOVATION Trademark is widely
recognized throughout the United States, and elsewhere in the world. The consuming public has
come to rely upon and look for the IOVATION Trademark to identify computer security and
fraud prevention services originating from iovation. As a consequence, the IOVATION
Trademark symbolizes valuable goodwill and reputation.
IV. IOVATIONS INFRINGING ACTIVITIES
11. Upon information and belief, IOvations was organized on July 12, 2004. Upon
information and belief, IOvations first limited the services it offered under the IOVATIONS
mark to digital data storage solutions. More recently, however, IOvations has expanded the
services it offers under the mark to include computer network and security solutions.
12. IOvations promotes its products and services through its website at
www.iovations.com, the name of which mimics that of iovations website, www.iovation.com.
13. IOvations offers computer security services and products in interstate commerce
under the IOVATIONS mark that are identical or closely related to the computer security and
fraud prevention services that iovation offers under the IOVATION Trademark. Consumers

would reasonably expect the goods and services that iovation and IOvations offer under the
IOVATION and IOVATIONS marks to come from the same source.
14. IOvations sells its goods and services through marketing channels that are the
same as or closely similar to the marketing channels through which iovation sells its goods and
services. IOvations sells its goods and services to the same classes of consumers to which
iovation sells its goods and services. The individuals employed by customers and prospective
customers who are likely to make decisions as to whether to purchase IOvations goods and
services are the same individuals who are likely to make decisions as to whether to purchase
iovations goods and services.
15. IOvations use of the IOVATIONS marks has already caused actual confusion
with iovation and its IOVATION Trademark. Given the similarity, both visually and aurally,
between the IOVATION and IOVATIONS trademarks, the closely-related goods and services
that iovation and IOvations sell, and the parties overlapping channels of trade and classes of
consumers, actual confusion between the parties and their respective marks is likely to continue
and increase.
16. On August 22, 2013, counsel for iovation wrote to IOvations demanding that it
immediately cease using the infringing IOVATIONS mark and take down its website at
www.iovations.com. IOvations has refused to do so, and continues to engage in its infringing
conduct.
V. THE HARM TO IOVATION AND THE PUBLIC CAUSED BY IOVATIONS
17. IOvations unlawful infringement of the IOVATION Trademark has caused
irreparable harm to iovations reputation and goodwill. iovation will continue to suffer
irreparable injury to its reputation and goodwill unless IOvations is enjoined from continuing the
conduct complained of, which injury cannot be adequately compensated monetarily. As long as
IOvations is allowed to continue the acts complained of, iovations reputation will continue to be
damaged.

18. Upon learning of IOvations infringing activity, iovation took immediate steps to
notify IOvations of its infringement and to seek IOvations help in mitigating damages.
IOvations refused to cooperate with iovations requests, and instead continued to market
computer security services under its confusingly-similar IOVATIONS mark.
