1 Discovery of Infringement
2 20. On or around July of 2017, SATA discovered that an influx of counterfeit SATA
3 paint guns were being distributed on the west coast branded under the name ITALCO
4 (“Counterfeit Paint Spray Guns”).
5 21. In its first investigation, SATA uncovered two distributors, one based in Phoenix,
6 Arizona, and one based in Sacramento, California. These distributors were distributing,
7 advertising, offering for sale, and selling several ITALCO paint spray gun models.
8 22. On Friday, June 30, 2017, SATA’s investigator purchased an ITALCO 5000 for
9 $350. As discussed more fully below, the ITALCO model infringes upon approximately seven
10 (7) SATA Marks and SATA Patents.
11 23. On August 25, 2017, SATA’s investigator was able to purchase an ITALCO H-
12 4000 Sprayer and ITALCO H-5000 sprayer for a combined amount of $756.00. As discussed
13 more fully below, the two models combined infringe a number of SATA’s intellectual property.
14 True and accurate copies of the photographs are attached hereto as Exhibit C.
15 The 2017 SEMA Trade Show

16 24. The SEMA trade show is one of the largest annual trade shows canvassing the
17 $477 billion automotive aftermarket industry. Manufacturers and suppliers who attend SEMA
18 represent everything from air conditioning to computer systems, to paint/coating body repair,
19 hand tools, and similarly situated companies. Exhibitors at SEMA generate business (i.e., buy
20 and sell products) and develop and maintain business relationships with key customers and
21 suppliers.
22 25. Typically, exhibitors will take orders and then ship them from their home
23 countries.
24 26. The 2017 SEMA was held between Tuesday, October 31, 2017, and Friday,
25 November 3, 2017, at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, and features
26 thousands of exhibitors and exhibitor booths.

27 27. The 2017 SEMA trade show drew nearly 75,000 domestic and international
28
10
1 buyers, and approximately 160,000 attendees.
2 Discovery of ITALCO products at the 2017 Show

3 28. While at the show, SATA representatives became aware of ITALCO’s presence
4 specifically because several vendors and consumers were talking about a knock-off SATA gun
5 that was 50% of the cost that had recently become available.
6 29. At this time, SATA became aware that a local Las Vegas auto paint company,
7 DISCOUNT AUTO BODY PAINT AND SUPPLY L.L.C., D.B.A. LAS VEGAS AUTO PAINT
8 (“LVAP”) was selling ITALCO’s Counterfeit Paint Spray Guns.
9 30. On Tuesday, November 1, 2017, SATA representatives visited LVAP’s store.

10 31. When SATA representatives inquired about the availability of the Italco’s
11 Counterfeit Paint Spray Guns, they were informed by LVAP that they had recently sold two
12 pallets, but that they could receive a new shipment by request within two weeks.
13 32. LVAP referred to the Counterfeit Paint Spray Guns as “knock off SATAs.”
14 33. LVAP also provided a representative sample of an ITALCO H-5000.
15 34. On December 21, 2017, SATA filed an action against LVAP for the Counterfeit
16 Paint Spray Guns. See Case No. 2:17-cv-03101. The case against LVAP was subsequently
17 settled.
18 35. During the litigation, SATA learned that ITALCO was actively soliciting
19 customers in the United States.
20 36. An individual named Betty, who listed herself as a “Sales Manager,” sent over
21 several versions of the paint spray guns of behalf of the parent company ZHEJIANG AUARITA
22 PNEUMATIC TOOLS L.L.C. True and accurate copies of the email communication are
23 attached hereto as Exhibit D.
24 37. LVAP later purchased Counterfeit Paint Spray Guns directly from AUARITA,
25 and received the shipment in Las Vegas Nevada. True and accurate copies of the email
26 communication and the invoice confirming the purchase are attached hereto as Exhibit E.
27
28
11
1 Discovery of ITALCO’s United States Website

2 38. SATA also discovered that ITALCO operates two separate websites at
3 http://www.italcojet.com/ and http://www.auarita.com/. The websites contain advertisements for
4 the counterfeit paint spray guns which are seen below.
5 39. True and accurate screenshots of the website displaying the counterfeit paint
6 spray guns are attached hereto as Exhibits F and G.
7 40. These websites allow for United States customers in the United States to import
8 infringing guns directly.
9 41. One of SATA’s major business challenges and a significant threat to its market is
10 the manufacture and sale of infringing and copyright products from China.
11 42. Without court intervention, ITALCO will be able to continue to use the websites
12 to advertise, market, distribute and sell infringing paint spray guns in the United States.
13 Totality of ITALCO’s Infringement

14 43. ITALCO has intentionally designed and created its paint spray guns to be
15 counterfeits of the various SATA models.
16 44. The chart below details generally the “model series” of the Counterfeit Paint
17 Spray Gun, and a non-exhaustive list of the specific SATA intellectual property assets being
18 infringed.

1 46. The marks shown above on the Counterfeit Products and in the comparison are
2 clearly meant to be confusingly similar in sight, sound and commercial impression to SATA’s
3 Marks.
4 47. On information and belief, the marks were specifically chosen and placed in
5 identical locations on the same type of goods covered by SATA’s Marks in order to cause
6 confusion, mistake or deception.
7 48. On information and belief, as a result of the similarity between the marks and the
8 identical relationship between the respective parties products, purchasers of Counterfeit Products
9 are apt to believe that they are somehow connected with, or endorsed or sponsored by SATA, to
10 the harm and detriment of SATA.
11 49. On November 30, 2017, SATA sent a letter to ITALCO informing it of its
12 infringement and demanding it cease and desist its actions.
13 50. SATA did not receive a response to the letter and the infringement continues as of
14 the date of this Complaint.
15 COUNT I - TRADEMARK COUNTERFEITING - 15 U.S.C. § 1114

16 51. SATA hereby realleges and incorporates by reference each and every allegation
17 set forth in the preceding paragraphs.
18 52. ITALCO has used spurious designations that are identical with, or substantially
19 indistinguishable from, the SATA Marks on identical goods.
20 53. ITALCO has intentionally used these spurious designations, knowing they are
21 counterfeit, in connection with the advertisement, promotion, sale, offering for sale and
22 distribution of the Counterfeit Paint Spray Guns.
23 54. ITALCO’s use of the SATA Marks to advertise, promote, offer for sale, distribute
24 and sell the Counterfeit Paint Spray Guns bearing infringing trademarks was at all times and is
25 currently without SATA’s authorization, license, or consent.
26
27
28
16
1 55. ITALCO’s unauthorized use of the SATA Marks on and in connection with
2 ITALCO’s advertisement, promotion, sale, offering for sale, and distribution of the Counterfeit
3 Paint Spray Guns constitutes a use of the SATA Marks in commerce.
4 56. ITALCO’s unauthorized use of the SATA Marks is likely to: (a) cause confusion,
5 mistake and deception; (b) cause the public to believe that the ITALCO’s Counterfeit Paint
6 Spray Gun is legitimate, and/or that the Counterfeit Paint Spray Gun is authorized by, sponsored
7 by, or approved by SATA, or that ITALCO is affiliated with, connected to, associated with, or in
8 some way related to SATA; (c) result in ITALCO unfairly benefiting from SATA’s advertising
9 and promotion; and (d) result in ITALCO unfairly profiting from SATA’s reputation and
10 trademarks all to the substantial and irreparable injury of the public, SATA, the SATA Marks,
11 and the substantial goodwill they represent.
12 57. ITALCO’s acts constitute willful trademark counterfeiting in violation of Section

13 32 of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1114.
14 58. By reason of the foregoing, ITALCO is liable to SATA for: (a) statutory damages
15 in the amount of up to $2,000,000 for each mark counterfeited as provided by 15 U.S.C. §
16 1117(c) of the Lanham Act, or, at SATA’s election, an amount representing three (3) times
17 SATA’s damages and/or ITALCO’s illicit profits; and (b) reasonable attorney’s fees,
18 investigative fees, and pre-judgment interest pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1117.
19 59. SATA is also entitled to temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunctive relief
20 pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1116(d).
21 COUNT II - TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT - 15 U.S.C. § 1114

24 61. Without SATA’s authorization, license, or consent, ITALCO has knowingly used
25 and continues to use in commerce the SATA Marks in connection with the manufacturing,
26 adverting, promoting, importing into, and selling in the United States the Counterfeit Paint Spray
27 Gun. ITALCO has used the SATA Marks with the knowledge of, and the intent to call to mind
28
17
1 and create a likelihood of confusion with regard to, and/or trade off SATA’s fame and the
2 registered SATA Marks.
3 62. ITALCO’s use of the SATA Marks is likely to: (a) confuse, mislead, or deceive
4 customers, purchasers, and members of the general public as to the origin, source, sponsorship,
5 or affiliation of ITALCO and SATA and/or the Counterfeit Paint Spray Gun and SATA’s
6 products; and (b) is likely to cause such people to believe in error that the Counterfeit Paint
7 Spray Gun has been authorized, sponsored, approved, endorsed, or licensed by SATA or that the
8 Counterfeit Paint Spray Gun is in some way affiliated with SATA.
9 63. SATA has no control over ITALCO’s use of the SATA Marks and cannot control
10 the fact that ITALCO is using the SATA Marks to create the Counterfeit Paint Spray Gun.
11 Therefore, SATA’s reputation and goodwill have been and continue to be damaged – and the
12 value of the SATA Marks jeopardized – by ITALCO’s continued use of the SATA Marks and
13 colorable imitations thereof. Because of the likelihood of confusion between the Counterfeit
14 Paint Spray Gun and the SATA Marks, any defects, objections, or faults found with the
15 Counterfeit Paint Spray Gun will negatively reflect upon and injure the exceptional reputation
16 that SATA has established for the products and services it offers in connection with the SATA
17 Marks. As such, ITALCO is liable to SATA for infringement of the SATA Marks pursuant to 15
18 U.S.C. § 1114.
19 64. ITALCO’s acts alleged above have caused, and if not enjoined will continue to
20 cause, irreparable and continuing harm to SATA’s trademarks, business, reputation, and
21 goodwill. SATA has no adequate remedy at law as monetary damages are inadequate to
22 compensate SATA for the injuries caused by ITALCO to its trademarks, business, reputation,
23 and goodwill.
24 65. As a direct and proximate result of ITALCO’s conduct, SATA has suffered and
25 continues to suffer damages to its valuable SATA Marks, and other damages in an amount to be
26 proven at trial.
27
28
18
1 66. ITALCO’s infringement of SATA’s registered trademarks is deliberate, willful,

2 fraudulent and without any extenuating circumstances, and constitutes a knowing use of the
3 SATA Marks, and an exceptional case within the meaning of 15 U.S.C. § 1117(b).
4 67. SATA is entitled to temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunctive relief, as

5 well as an award of ITALCO’s profits, actual damages, enhanced profits and damages, costs, and
6 reasonable attorneys’ fees pursuant to 15 U.S.C. §§ 1114, 1116, and 1117.
7 COUNT III - FALSE DESIGNATION OF ORIGIN/UNFAIR COMPETITION –

8 15 U.S.C. § 1125
11 69. ITALCO’s use, promotion, offers to sell, sale, and/or importation of the
12 Counterfeit Paint Spray Gun violates Section 43(a) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a).
13 The SATA Marks are federally registered, and are entitled to protection under both federal and
14 common law. The SATA Marks have distinctive appearances with unique and non-functional
15 designs. SATA has extensively and continuously promoted and used the SATA Marks for many
16 decades in the United States and worldwide. Through that extensive and continuous use, the
17 SATA Marks have become well-known indicators of the origin and quality of SATA’s products
18 and have acquired substantial secondary meaning in the marketplace.
19 70. ITALCO’s use of colorable imitations of the SATA Marks constitutes a false
20 designation of origin that is likely to cause consumer confusion, mistake, or deception as to the
21 origin, sponsorship, or approval of the Counterfeit Paint Spray Gun by creating the false and
22 misleading impression that the Counterfeit Paint Spray Gun is manufactured by, authorized by,
23 or otherwise associated with SATA.
24 71. ITALCO’s use of colorable imitations of the SATA Marks has caused, and unless
25 enjoined, will continue to cause substantial and irreparable injury to SATA for which SATA has
26 no adequate remedy at law, including at least substantial and irreparable injury to the goodwill
27 and reputation for quality associated with the SATA Marks.
28
19
1 72. On information and belief, ITALCO’s use of colorable imitations of the SATA
2 Marks has been intentional and willful. ITALCO’s bad faith is evidenced at least by ITALCO’s
3 use of marks identical to the SATA Marks on the Counterfeit Paint Spray Gun. SATA is entitled
4 to injunctive relief, and SATA is also entitled to recover ITALCO’s profits, actual damages,
5 enhanced profits and damages, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees pursuant to 15 U.S.C. §§
6 1125(a), 1116, and 1117.
7 COUNT IV-COMMON LAW TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT

& UNFAIR COMPETITION
8
73. SATA hereby realleges and incorporates by reference each and every allegation
9
set forth in the preceding paragraphs.
10
74. SATA was the first to use the SATA Marks. As a result of SATA’s continuous
11
promotion and sales of products bearing the SATA Marks, the SATA Marks have become
12
widely known and SATA has been identified in the public mind as the manufacturer of the
13
products to which the SATA Marks are applied.
14
75. As a result of the experience, care, and service of SATA in producing the
15
products to which the SATA Marks are applied, these products have become widely known and
16
have acquired a worldwide reputation for quality, styling, and utility. Moreover, the SATA
17
Marks have come to symbolize SATA’s reputation for quality and excellence. The SATA Marks
18
have also acquired secondary meaning in the marketplace, and are non-functional.
19
76. ITALCO, with knowledge of and with intentional disregard of SATA’s rights,
20
continues to advertise, promote, and sell products using the SATA Marks, or colorable and
21
confusing imitations thereof. ITALCO’s acts are likely to cause, have caused, and will continue
22
to cause confusion as to the source and/or sponsorship of SATA’s products and services.
23
77. ITALCO’s acts alleged herein and specifically, without limitation, ITALCO’s
24
use, manufacture, promotion, offers to sell, selling, and/or importing into the United States
25
products that are confusingly similar to products bearing the SATA Marks, infringes SATA’s
26
exclusive trademark rights in violation of the common law.
27
28
20
1 78. ITALCO’s acts alleged above have caused, and if not enjoined will continue to
2 cause, irreparable and continuing harm to SATA’s trademarks, business, reputation, and
3 goodwill. SATA has no adequate remedy at law because monetary damages are inadequate to
4 compensate SATA for the injuries caused by ITALCO to its trademarks, business, reputation,
5 and goodwill.
6 79. On information and belief, ITALCO’s use of colorable imitations of the SATA
7 Marks has been intentional and willful. ITALCO’s bad faith is evidenced at least by ITALCO’s
8 use of marks identical to the SATA Marks on the Counterfeit Paint Spray Gun. SATA is entitled
9 to injunctive relief, and SATA is also entitled to recover ITALCO’s profits, actual damages,
10 punitive damages, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees.
11 COUNT IV DESIGN PATENT INFRINGEMENT –

12 35 U.S.C. §§ 171 AND 289
15 81. Without SATA’s authorization, license, or consent, ITALCO has and is

16 continuing to make, use, offer to sell, sell, and/or import into the United States its Counterfeit
17 Paint Spray Gun, which infringe SATA’s Design Patents.
18 82. ITALCO infringes on the SATA Design Patents because, inter alia, in the eye of
19 an ordinary observer, giving such attention as a purchaser usually gives, the design of paint spray
20 guns and packaging claimed and disclosed in SATA Design patents are substantially the same as
21 ITALCO’s Counterfeit Paint Spray Gun. The resemblance is as such that an ordinary observer
22 would likely purchase ITALCO’s Counterfeit Paint Spray Gun, believing it to be SATA’s
23 products.
24 83. ITALCO’s acts of infringement of the SATA Design Patents were undertaken
25 without authority, permission, or license from SATA. ITALCO’s activities violate 35 U.S.C. §
26 271.
27
28
21
1 84. SATA has been and continues to be irreparably harmed by ITALCO’s past and
2 ongoing infringement of SATA’s design patents.
3 85. ITALCO’s infringement of SATA’s design patents has caused SATA to suffer
4 damages in an amount to be determined at trial.
5 PRAYER FOR RELIEF

6 WHEREFORE, SATA respectfully prays for:
7 A. Judgment that ITALCO has: (i) willfully engaged in trademark counterfeiting in
8 violation of 15 U.S.C. § 1114; (ii) willfully infringed the SATA Marks in violation of 15 U.S.C.
9 § 1114; (iii) willfully used false designations of origin and/or engaged in unfair competition in
10 violation of 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a); (iv) willfully violated SATA’s common law rights in the SATA
11 Marks; and (v) willfully infringed the SATA Patents in violation of 35 U.S.C. §§ 171 and 289;
12 B. A temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunction against further

13 counterfeiting, infringement, false designation of origin, and unfair competition directed against
14
the SATA Marks, by ITALCO, its agents, servants, employees, attorneys, and all others in active
15
concert or participation with any of them;
16
C. An order from the Court demanding the website hosts take down the infringing
17
websites;
18
D. A finding that this is an exceptional case within the meaning of 15 § U.S.C.
19
1117(a);
20
E. An award of damages adequate to compensate SATA for the trademark
21
infringements that have occurred pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1117(a), which amount shall include
22
ITALCO’s profits, SATA’s damages, and the costs of the action;
23
F. At SATA’s election, either: (1) an award of damages adequate to compensate
24
25 SATA for the intentional acts of trademark counterfeiting that have occurred, pursuant to 15
26 U.S.C. § 1117(b), which amount shall include three times ITALCO’s profits or SATA’s damages
27 (whichever is greater), together with reasonable attorneys’ fees; or (2) statutory damages in the
28
22
1 amount of: (i) not less than $1,000 or more than $200,000 per counterfeit mark per type of goods
2 or services sold, offered for sale, or distributed, as the Court considers just; or (ii) if the Court
3
finds that the use of the counterfeit mark was willful, not more than $2,000,000 per counterfeit
4
mark per type of goods or services sold, offered for sale, or distributed, as the Court considers
5
just;
6
7 G. An award of damages adequate to compensate SATA for the patent infringements
8 that have occurred pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 284, or an award of ITALCO’s profits from its
9 infringements pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 289, whichever is greater, together with prejudgment

10
interest and costs; and
11
H. Such other and further relief as this Court deems just and proper.
12
DATED this 24th day of July 2018.

express account must be provided.
I remember that you don't have the express account, but if any of your friends has one?
There is also another way, could you ask your friend in USA to place abroad expressage order, so the courier will pick up the
package in China, and the freight can be collected.
