Suite 102, McKinney, Texas.
4. Plaintiff alleges, on information and belief, that Defendant MD5

9. This Court has Federal subject matter jurisdiction over this matter
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1331 and 1338(a) and (b), in that the case arises out of

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 Courts assertion of jurisdiction
over 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

goodwill within this venue. Additionally, Plaintiff conducts a substantial business
within this venue.

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 targeting
foreseeable 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
Plaintiffs Marks to confuse consumers and aid in the promotion and sales of its
unauthorized and counterfeit product. Defendants use of Plaintiffs Marks,
Copyright, and Design Patent include importing, advertising, displaying,
distributing, selling and/or offering to sell Counterfeit Goods.
34. Defendants use began long after Plaintiffs 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 Plaintiffs 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 Plaintiffs
goodwill. Furthermore, the sale and distribution of Counterfeit Goods by
Defendants have infringed upon Plaintiffs Marks, Federally-Registered
Copyrights, 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

Counterfeit Goods consisting of reproductions and/or copies of products bearing

Copyrights, Common-Law Copyrights, and Design Patent was done without
Plaintiffs authorization.
FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION
(Trademark Infringement Against Defendant PATRICK MATTSON,
Defendant STU DISTRIBUTION SERVICES, LLC, Defendant MD5
TECHNOLOGIES, and DOES 1-10, Inclusive)
[15 U.S.C. 1114/Lanham Act 43(a)]
37. 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.
38. Defendants actions as described herein constitute direct and/or
contributory trademark infringement in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1114(1)(a).
39. As a proximate result of Defendants trademark infringement,
Plaintiff has been damaged in an amount to be proven at trial. Further, Plaintiff
alleges on information and belief that, as a proximate result of Defendants
trademark infringement, Defendants have unlawfully profited in an amount to be
proven at trial.
40. At all relevant times, Defendants acted intentionally and/or willfully
in using the Marks on the Counterfeit Goods, knowing that said Marks belonged
to Plaintiff, that the Counterfeit Goods were in fact counterfeit, and that
Defendants were not authorized to use said Marks on the Counterfeit Goods.
Plaintiff is therefore entitled to recovery of treble damages pursuant to 15 U.S.C.
1117(a). Further, Defendants knowing, intentional and/or willful actions make
this an exceptional case, entitling Plaintiff to an award of reasonable attorney fees

41. Defendants actions also constitute the use by Defendants of one or
more counterfeit mark as defined in 15 U.S.C. 1116(d)(1)(B). Plaintiff
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).
42. 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
(False Designation of Origin, False or Misleading Advertising Against
Defendant PATRICK MATTSON, Defendant STU DISTRIBUTION
SERVICES, LLC, Defendant MD5 TECHNOLOGIES, and DOES 1-10,
Inclusive)
[15 U.S.C. 1125 (a)]
allegations set forth elsewhere in this Complaint as thought fully set forth in this
cause of action.
44. Defendants actions as described herein constitute direct and/or
contributory violation of 15 U.S.C. 1125(a)(1)(A), as such actions are likely to
cause confusion, or to cause mistake, or to deceive as to the affiliation,
connection, or association of Defendants with Plaintiff and/or as to the origin,
sponsorship, and/or approval of such Counterfeit Goods by Plaintiff.
45. As a proximate result of Defendants violation as described herein,
Plaintiff has been damaged in an amount to be proven at trial. Further, Plaintiff
alleges on information and belief that, as a proximate result of defendants direct
and/or contributory trademark infringement, Defendants have unlawfully profited,
in an amount to be proven at trial.

THIRD CAUSE OF ACTION
(Trademark Dilution Against Defendant PATRICK MATTSON, Defendant
STU DISTRIBUTION SERVICES, LLC, Defendant MD5
[15 U.S.C. 1125(c)]
cause of action.
48. Plaintiffs Marks are distinctive and famous within the meaning of
the Lanham Act.
49. Upon information and belief, Defendants unlawful actions began
long after Plaintiffs Marks became famous, and Defendants acted knowingly,
deliberately and willfully with the intent to trade on Plaintiffs reputation and to
dilute Plaintiffs Marks. Defendants conduct is willful, wanton and egregious.
50. Defendants intentional sale of fake, pirated and counterfeit items
bearing Plaintiffs 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 Plaintiffs Marks,
and are likely to impair the distinctiveness, strength and value of Plaintiffs
Marks, 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.

52. As the acts alleged herein constitute a willful violation of section

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 Defendant PATRICK MATTSON, Defendant
STU DISTRIBUTION SERVICES, LLC, Defendant MD5

cause of action.
54. Defendants actions described herein constitute unlawful, unfair
and/or fraudulent business acts or practices. Defendants actions thus constitute
unfair competition pursuant to California Business & Professions Code
17200.
55. As a proximate result of Defendants actions, Plaintiff has suffered
an injury in fact, including without limitation, damages in an amount to be proven
at trial, loss of money or property, and diminution in the value of its trademarks.
Plaintiff therefore has standing to assert this claim pursuant to California Business
& Professions Code 17204.
56. Defendants actions have caused, and will continue to cause Plaintiff
to suffer irreparable harm unless enjoined by this Court pursuant to California
Business & Professions Code 17203. In addition, Plaintiff requests that the
Court order that Defendants disgorges all profits wrongfully obtained as a result of
Defendants unfair competition, and order that defendant pay restitution to
Plaintiff in an amount to be proven at trial.

FIFTH CAUSE OF ACTION
(Federal Copyright Infringement Against Defendant PATRICK MATTSON,
Defendant STU DISTRIBUTION SERVICES, LLC, Defendant MD5
[17 U.S.C. 501(a)]
cause of action.
58. Plaintiff is the exclusive owner of copyrights in and related to its
Speckbranded products packaging, having numerous applications relating to
the same pending with the United States Copyright Office and possessing
copyright registrations with the United States Copyright Office.
59. Defendants did not seek and failed to obtain Plaintiffs consent or
authorization to utilize, manufacture, reproduce, copy, display, prepare derivative
works, distribute, sell, transfer, rent, perform, and/or market Plaintiffs copyright-
protected materials.
60. Without permission, Defendants intentionally and knowingly
reproduced, counterfeited, copied, displayed, and/or manufactured Plaintiffs
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 Plaintiffs copyright
protected product packaging.
61. Defendants acts as alleged herein, constitute infringement of
Plaintiffs copyright, including Plaintiffs exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute
and/or sell such protected material.
62. Defendants knowing and intentional copyright infringement as
alleged herein has caused and will continue to cause substantial and irreparable
harm to Plaintiff and has and will continue to cause damage to Plaintiff. Plaintiff

SIXTH CAUSE OF ACTION
(Common Law Copyright Infringement Against Defendant PATRICK
MATTSON, Defendant STU DISTRIBUTION SERVICES, LLC, Defendant
MD5 TECHNOLOGIES, and DOES 1-10, Inclusive)
[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 Plaintiffs 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 Plaintiffs 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 Plaintiffs
rights. Defendants acts have irreparably harmed and continue to harm Plaintiffs
exclusive proprietary rights and constitute common law copyright infringement
and 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

70. Defendants have infringed and continue to infringe Plaintiffs Design
