Page 1 - COMPLAINT
 Case 3:18-cv-01653 Document 1 Filed 09/12/18 Page 2 of 13

INTRODUCTION

1. This is an action for direct and indirect patent infringement arising under the

Patent Laws of the United States, 35 U.S.C. § 101 et seq. Kraft owns exclusive rights in the

ornamental designs claimed in United States Design Patent Nos. D798,738 and D780,599, each

titled “Package” (collectively, the “Kraft Patents”).

2. Without Kraft’s permission, D6 has used and continues to use the designs of the

Kraft Patents, on packages that D6 makes, uses, offers for sale, sells, and/or imports into the

United States.

3. In addition, D6, with knowledge of the Kraft Patents, has indirectly infringed the

Kraft Patents by, among other things, providing packages to third parties with the intent to

induce third parties to violate one or more of the Kraft Patents.

4. Kraft seeks, among other relief, an injunction preventing D6 from further

infringing the Kraft Patents, and damages and/or a disgorgement of D6’s profits from its patent

infringements.

THE PARTIES

5. Kraft is a limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the

State of Delaware with a principal place of business at 200 E Randolph Street, Chicago, Illinois

60601.

6. On information and belief, D6 is a corporation organized and existing under the

laws of the State of Oregon with a principal place of business at 4630 NE 190th Lane, Portland,

Oregon 97230.

JURISDICTION AND VENUE

7. This action arises under the patent laws of the United States, Title 35, United

States Code. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§§ 1331 and 1338.

8. This Court has personal jurisdiction over D6 at least because D6 resides,

transacts, and solicits business in the State of Oregon, including with respect to packages that

infringe the Kraft Patents, and because D6 is committing and has committed acts of patent

infringement in the State of Oregon.

9. Venue is proper in this judicial district under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1391 and 1400 at least

because D6 is an Oregon corporation that resides in this district.

GENERAL ALLEGATIONS

The Kraft Patents

10. For many decades, Kraft has innovated and sold a wide array of high-quality,

packaged food products, including products sold under well-recognized brands such as

Lunchables®, Jell-O®, and Oscar Mayer®. As part of its efforts to distinguish its packaged food

products from others, and to encourage associations and develop goodwill with consumers, Kraft

designs, develops, and uses distinctive product packages.

11. In approximately 2014, Kraft introduced a new line of protein-based snack items

branded as “Portable Protein Packs” or “P3.” An exemplary online advertisement for Kraft’s P3

products appears in Illustration 1 below.

Page 3 - COMPLAINT
 Case 3:18-cv-01653 Document 1 Filed 09/12/18 Page 4 of 13

Illustration 1: Example of Kraft P3 advertisement from www.proteinproteinprotein.com

12. Kraft has taken steps to protect its innovative packaging designs. In particular,

Kraft owns various United States design patents relating to packaging designs for its P3

products. Relevant to this dispute, Kraft owns all right, title, and interest in, and has the right to

sue and recover for past, present, and future infringement of, each of the Kraft Patents identified

in Table 1 from the date each patent duly and legally issued to Kraft. A copy of each Kraft Patent

is attached to this Complaint as indicated in Table 1.

Page 4 - COMPLAINT
 Case 3:18-cv-01653 Document 1 Filed 09/12/18 Page 5 of 13

13. The Kraft Patents are presumed to be valid.

D6’s Infringing Activities

14. On information and belief, D6 was aware of the Kraft Patents no later than July

10, 2018, when Kraft sent a cease and desist letter to Edward Dominion, President/CEO of D6

providing D6 with notice of the Kraft Patents and identifying representative D6 packages

accused of infringement (“Notice Letter”). A copy of Kraft’s Notice Letter is attached as

Complaint Exhibit C.

15. On information and belief, both before and after receiving Kraft’s Notice Letter,

D6 made, used, offered for sale, sold, and/or imported into the United States packages having

designs that violate the Kraft Patents (hereafter, the “Infringing Packages”). The Infringing

Packages include at least models identified by D6 as “3001.” On information and belief, the

overall appearance of the designs of the Kraft Patents and the corresponding designs of D6’s

Infringing Packages are the same or substantially the same.

16. On information and belief, both before and after receiving Kraft’s Notice Letter,

D6 also directly or indirectly supplied empty, unsealed packages, identified at least as D6 model

3001, to third parties—including, for example, HEB Grocery Company, LP of Texas— intending

and knowing that those packages would be sealed closed. On information and belief, the overall

appearance of the sealed Infringing Packages is the same or substantially the same as at least the

design claimed in the ‘599 Patent.

17. On information and belief, the unsealed Infringing Packages D6 supplied to third

parties are especially made or adapted to infringe one or both of the Kraft Patents and are not

staple articles of commerce suitable for noninfringing use.

Page 5 - COMPLAINT
 Case 3:18-cv-01653 Document 1 Filed 09/12/18 Page 6 of 13

18. On information and belief, an ordinary observer will perceive the overall

appearance of the designs in each of the Kraft Patents and the corresponding designs of D6’s

Infringing Packages to be substantially the same. Tables 2 and 3 below illustrate D6’s

infringement by comparing representative images of Infringing Packages with the figures from

the Kraft Patents.

unsealed Infringing Packages to third parties intending that third parties would seal the

Infringing Packages in violation of the ‘599 Patent.

Patents within the meaning of 35 U.S.C. § 271(a) at least by making, using, selling, offering to

sell, and/or importing the Infringing Packages into the United States without Kraft’s

authorization.

24. On information and belief, without Kraft’s authorization, D6 has infringed and

continues to infringe at least the ‘599 Patent within the meaning of 35 U.S.C. § 271(b) at least by

actively inducing third parties to infringe at least the ‘599 Patent.

25. On information and belief, without Kraft’s authorization, D6 has infringed and

continues to infringe at least the ‘599 Patent within the meaning of 35 U.S.C. § 271(c) by

offering to sell and/or selling packaging components especially made or adapted for infringing

use by third parties and that are not staple articles of commerce suitable for noninfringing uses.

Re: Infringement of Kraft's Intellectual Property

Dear Mr. Dominion:

We represent Kraft Foods Group Brands LLC and Kraft Heinz Foods Company
(collectively, "Kraft") in their intellectual property matters. We write regarding packaging
produced by D6,Inc.("D6")for products currently sold at various grocery stores that violate
numerous Kraft intellectual property rights. As detailed below, Kraft demands that D6
immediately and permanently stop all unauthorized use of Kraft's intellectual property.

As you know, Kraft has been a household name in food products for well over a
hundred years. The success of Kraft is due in part to innovative and recognizable food
packaging. Kraft has developed significant consumer goodwill in its products and product
packaging. Indeed, consumers associate Kraft products and product packaging with high-
quality goods. To that end, Kraft has taken steps to protect its rights in its innovative and
recognizable products and packaging. For example, Kraft owns U.S. Design Patent Nos.
D714,660; D780,599; D798,166; and D798,738 (collectively, the "Asserted Patents"), among
others. Representative figures from the Asserted Patents are shown in Illustration 1 below.
Copies of the Asserted Patents are also enclosed for your reference.

In addition, Kraft owns trade dress rights on the packaging for the "P3-Portable Protein Pack"
(the "Asserted Trade Dress"). Kraft has invested significant resources in the design,
development, manufacture, advertising, and marketing of its P3 product. And for several
years, Kraft has enjoyed substantial sales throughout the country, including Texas, fi*om its
P3 product. As a result of Kraft's efforts, consumers have come to uniquely associate the
design and appearance of the P3 product packaging with Kraft. An exemplary image of the
P3 product packaging is shown in Illustration 2 below.

Oscar Mayer "P3- Portable Protein Pack"

D6 is violating Kraft's intellectual property rights in the Asserted Patents and the
Asserted Trade Dress. Specifically, D6 is promoting, producing,distributing, offering for sale,
and selling food product packaging ("Infnnging Packaging") to various companies that are
then using that packaging for their products sold at grocery stores. These companies include
at least Texas-based grocery store H.E.B. Representative images ofsome of H.E.B. products
using D6's Infiinging Packaging are shown in Illustration 3 below.

D6's Infnnging Packaging is nearly identical in its overall appearance to the Kraft
Asserted Patents shown in the figures above. Most notably and by example only, the fi-ont-

facing, dumbbell shape of the D6 packaging is substantially the same as that in each of the
above-referenced Asserted Patents. D6's Infringing Packaging thus infringes the Asserted
Patents. For similar reasons, D6's packaging also infringes the Asserted Trade Dress.

This unlawful conduct, without the consent of Kraft, is likely to cause confusion,
mistake, and deception ofthe public. Remedies for design patent and trade dress infringement
may include an injunction, damages(including up to treble damages for willful conduct), and
attorneys' fees.

In order to resolve this matter amicably, we demand that D6 and all of its affiliated
suppliers, retailers, and partners immediately and permanently stop all unauthorized use of
Kraft's intellectual property—^including further manufacture, importation into the United
States, distribution, promotion, advertisement, and/or sale of products bearing the Infringing
Packaging.

In addition, we demand that, by July 31.2018.D6 provides us in writing the following

information:

(1) An identification {e.g., product name, model number, etc.) of each

product bearing the Infnnging Packaging and all substantially
similar packaging products that has been promoted and/or sold by
D6;

(2) Confirmation that D6 has ceased all unlawful conduct with respect
each product identified in response to (1);

(3) Confirmation that all existing advertising and marketing materials

that reference or include any product identified in response to (1)
have been destroyed;

(4) For each product identified in response to (1), the specific date(s)
that D6 complied with(2)and (3).

(5) The number of each product identified in response to (1) that was
sold by D6;

(6) A full accounting of D6's sales, revenues, and profits from its sales
ofeach product identified in response to (1);

(7) The purchasers of each ofthe products identified in response to (1)

including a breakdown by product type and volume of products
acquired by each purchaser;

(8) The number, location, and status of each product identified in

response to(1)that is in inventory, in transit, and/or on order; and

(9) Full details identifying the individuals associated with the source(s)
of each product identified in response to (1), including the name.

address, telephone number, email, and, if applicable, website

address for the entity(ies) that manufacture, import, distribute,
advertise, and/or sell these products with, for, or through D6.

Based on information that you provide, we will address in due course the monetary amount
owed by D6 to account for past infringement.

Kraft prefers to resolve this matter amicably. But,given the extensive time and expense
Kraft has invested in its products and intellectual property, Kraft is prepared to protect its
rights and pursue this matter to the fullest extent ofthe law. And as you are likely aware,Kraft
owns many other valuable intellectual property rights, including patents, trademarks, and
copyrights, all around the world. This letter is therefore without prejudice to Kraft's assertion
ofany and all rights and remedies it may have against D6,all ofwhich are expressly reserved.

We look forward to your prompt reply.

Sincerely,

Binal J. Patel

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ATTORNEYS COMPLETING CIVIL COVER SHEET FORM JS 44

Authority For Civil Cover Sheet

The JS 44 civil cover sheet and the information contained herein neither replaces nor supplements the filings and service of pleading or other papers as
required by law, except as provided by local rules of court. This form, approved by the Judicial Conference of the United States in September 1974, is
required for the use of the Clerk of Court for the purpose of initiating the civil docket sheet. Consequently, a civil cover sheet is submitted to the Clerk of
Court for each civil complaint filed. The attorney filing a case should complete the form as follows:

I.(a) Plaintiffs-Defendants. Enter names (last, first, middle initial) of plaintiff and defendant. If the plaintiff or defendant is a government agency, use
only the full name or standard abbreviations. If the plaintiff or defendant is an official within a government agency, identify first the agency and
then the official, giving both name and title.
(b) County of Residence. For each civil case filed, except U.S. plaintiff cases, enter the name of the county where the first listed plaintiff resides at the
time of filing. In U.S. plaintiff cases, enter the name of the county in which the first listed defendant resides at the time of filing. (NOTE: In land
condemnation cases, the county of residence of the "defendant" is the location of the tract of land involved.)
(c) Attorneys. Enter the firm name, address, telephone number, and attorney of record. If there are several attorneys, list them on an attachment, noting
in this section "(see attachment)".

II. Jurisdiction. The basis of jurisdiction is set forth under Rule 8(a), F.R.Cv.P., which requires that jurisdictions be shown in pleadings. Place an "X"
in one of the boxes. If there is more than one basis of jurisdiction, precedence is given in the order shown below.
United States plaintiff. (1) Jurisdiction based on 28 U.S.C. 1345 and 1348. Suits by agencies and officers of the United States are included here.
United States defendant. (2) When the plaintiff is suing the United States, its officers or agencies, place an "X" in this box.
Federal question. (3) This refers to suits under 28 U.S.C. 1331, where jurisdiction arises under the Constitution of the United States, an amendment
to the Constitution, an act of Congress or a treaty of the United States. In cases where the U.S. is a party, the U.S. plaintiff or defendant code takes
precedence, and box 1 or 2 should be marked.
Diversity of citizenship. (4) This refers to suits under 28 U.S.C. 1332, where parties are citizens of different states. When Box 4 is checked, the
citizenship of the different parties must be checked. (See Section III below; NOTE: federal question actions take precedence over diversity
cases.)

III. Residence (citizenship) of Principal Parties. This section of the JS 44 is to be completed if diversity of citizenship was indicated above. Mark this
section for each principal party.

IV. Nature of Suit. Place an "X" in the appropriate box. If there are multiple nature of suit codes associated with the case, pick the nature of suit code
that is most applicable. Click here for: Nature of Suit Code Descriptions.

V. Origin. Place an "X" in one of the seven boxes.

Original Proceedings. (1) Cases which originate in the United States district courts.
Removed from State Court. (2) Proceedings initiated in state courts may be removed to the district courts under Title 28 U.S.C., Section 1441.
Remanded from Appellate Court. (3) Check this box for cases remanded to the district court for further action. Use the date of remand as the filing
date.
Reinstated or Reopened. (4) Check this box for cases reinstated or reopened in the district court. Use the reopening date as the filing date.
Transferred from Another District. (5) For cases transferred under Title 28 U.S.C. Section 1404(a). Do not use this for within district transfers or
multidistrict litigation transfers.
Multidistrict Litigation – Transfer. (6) Check this box when a multidistrict case is transferred into the district under authority of Title 28 U.S.C.
Section 1407.
Multidistrict Litigation – Direct File. (8) Check this box when a multidistrict case is filed in the same district as the Master MDL docket. PLEASE
NOTE THAT THERE IS NOT AN ORIGIN CODE 7. Origin Code 7 was used for historical records and is no longer relevant due to changes in
statue.

VI. Cause of Action. Report the civil statute directly related to the cause of action and give a brief description of the cause. Do not cite jurisdictional
statutes unless diversity. Example: U.S. Civil Statute: 47 USC 553 Brief Description: Unauthorized reception of cable service

VII. Requested in Complaint. Class Action. Place an "X" in this box if you are filing a class action under Rule 23, F.R.Cv.P.
Demand. In this space enter the actual dollar amount being demanded or indicate other demand, such as a preliminary injunction.
Jury Demand. Check the appropriate box to indicate whether or not a jury is being demanded.

VIII. Related Cases. This section of the JS 44 is used to reference related pending cases, if any. If there are related pending cases, insert the docket
numbers and the corresponding judge names for such cases.

Date and Attorney Signature. Date and sign the civil cover sheet.
