San Diego, CA 92101
Gordon & Rees LLP

13 the substantial time, effort, and money expended over the years by Lanard in
14 creating, promoting, and popularizing this product, Lanard has developed a
15 valuable reputation and goodwill in connection with its CHALK BOMB!® and the
16 trade dress associated therewith. Lanard enjoys substantial demand for this
17 product, and Lanard’s trade dress embodied in the CHALK BOMB!® has become
18 well known to consumers and the trade by widespread, continuous, and exclusive
19 use thereof. The purchasing public and customers of Lanard associate the CHALK
20 BOMB!® trade dress exclusively with Lanard. Such trade dress is protectable and
21 has acquired secondary meaning.
