UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT


EASTERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK

COMFORT WHEELS INC.,

Plaintiff, Civil Action No. 1:21-cv-1119

v. JURY TRIAL DEMANDED

SHENZHEN MIRUISI TECHNOLOGY CO.,


LTD. and LUKE WEI,

Defendants.

COMPLAINT

Plaintiff Comfort Wheels Inc. (“CWI”) by its undersigned attorneys, for its Complaint

against Shenzhen Miruisi Technology Co., Ltd. (“Miruisi”) and Luke Wei (collectively,

“Defendants”), states as follows:

NATURE OF THE ACTION

1. Through inequitable conduct, defendant Miruisi improperly obtained a United

States design patent, D892,010 (the “’010 Patent”) that claims the ornamental design of a vehicle

visor that was on sale more than four years before the application for the ’010 Patent was filed.

(A copy of the ’010 Patent is attached hereto as Exhibit 1).

2. Even though Miruisi, upon information and belief, knew that vehicle visors

bearing the design claimed in the ’010 Patent were on sale for years prior to the ’010 Patent’s

priority date, Miruisi failed to disclose this information to the United States Patent and

Trademark Office (“USPTO”) during the prosecution of the ’010 Patent.

3. After obtaining the ’010 Patent, Defendants, upon information and belief,

knowing that the ’010 Patent was invalid and unenforceable, began asserting the patent against

Case 1:21-cv-01119 Document 1 Filed 03/02/21 Page 2 of 41 PageID #: 2

CWI by submitting a notice of infringement to Amazon.com (“Amazon”), which caused CWI’s

Amazon listing for a vehicle visor to be taken down, causing a resultant loss of business.

4. Plaintiff CWI, an online retailer of vehicle visors, among other things, brings this

action for a judgment declaring that the ’010 Patent is invalid and obtained by inequitable

conduct, and to recover its damages caused by the Defendants’ illegal conduct.

JURISDICTION AND VENUE

5. The Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this action pursuant to the Federal

Declaratory Judgments Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 2201 and 2202 and 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331, 1338, and

1367.

6. Defendants are subject to specific jurisdiction in this Court pursuant to Rule 4 of

the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Defendants have directed their illegal conduct complained

of herein to this judicial district thereby causing damage to CWI in this District and are subject to

the jurisdiction of this Court.

7. Venue is proper in this District pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b)(2)–(3), and (c)(3)

in that a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claim occurred in this

District and Defendants are not residents of the United States.

THE PARTIES

8. Plaintiff CWI is a corporation formed under the laws of the state of New York

with a place of business at 234 Lee Avenue, #8, Brooklyn, New York.

9. Upon information and belief, Defendant Miruisi is a limited liability company

formed under the laws of China with a place of business at Room 3629, Bingjiang Building

No.14 Badeng Street, Nanyuan, Futian, Shenzhen China.

10. Defendant Luke Wei (“Wei”) is an individual whose residence is unknown.

Case 1:21-cv-01119 Document 1 Filed 03/02/21 Page 3 of 41 PageID #: 3

PLAINTIFF AND ITS BUSINESSES

11. CWI is an online retailer of a wide variety of products. Among the online

platforms that CWI uses to offer and sell its products is the Amazon Marketplace.

12. The Amazon Marketplace is an online e-commerce platform that allows for third

parties like CWI to sell products on that platform.

13. CWI offers a wide variety of products on Amazon’s Marketplace, including

vehicle visors.

14. Upon information and belief, Amazon is the world’s largest online retailer.

15. The privilege of selling on Amazon is highly advantageous, as Amazon provides

third parties like CWI with exposure to the world marketplace on a scale that no other online

retailer can currently provide.

16. At all relevant times, CWI has had a contractual and business relationship with

Amazon, such that CWI is permitted to sell its products on Amazon’s e-commerce platform.

17. A significant portion of CWI’s business is derived from the sale of products on

Amazon.

18. Any harm that comes to the relationship between CWI and Amazon creates a

potential for serious and irreparable injury to CWI.

CWI’S VEHICLE VISORS

19. CWI has been selling vehicle visors online since at least as early as July 2014.

True and correct copies of photographs of the vehicle visor that CWI has sold since 2014 are

attached hereto as Exhibit 2 (the “CWI Visor”).

20. CWI has offered for sale the CWI Visor on eBay since July 9, 2014. True and

correct copies of the eBay listing details and purchase history for the CWI Visor are attached

hereto as, respectively, Exhibits 3 and 4.

{Client/087257/1/02299772.DOCX;2 } -3-
Case 1:21-cv-01119 Document 1 Filed 03/02/21 Page 4 of 41 PageID #: 4

21. CWI offered the CWI Visor for sale on Amazon from about July 2014 until on or

about January 29, 2021, when the listing for that product was taken down as a result of the

Defendants’ illegal conduct described herein.

THE ’010 PATENT

22. On November 19, 2018, Miruisi filed the application for the ’010 Patent with the

USPTO (the “Application”).

23. The Application identified Longwu Tan (“Tan”) as the inventor of the design

claimed in the application for the ’010 Patent.

24. Upon information and belief, Tan is a director of Miruisi.

25. In connection with the Application, Tan signed a declaration pursuant to 37

C.F.R. § 1.63 stating, in part, “I believe that I am the original inventor or an original joint

inventor of a claimed invention in the application” (the “Declaration”).

26. Upon information and belief, at all relevant times, Tan and Miruisi knew that Tan

was not the original inventor or an original joint inventor of a claimed invention in the

Application.

27. Upon information and belief, prior to filing the Application, Tan and Miruisi

knew that prior to November 19, 2017, third parties such as CWI were selling vehicle visors

bearing the design claimed in the Application.

28. Upon information and belief, during the prosecution of the Application, Tan and

Miruisi knew that prior to November 19, 2017, third parties such as CWI were selling vehicle

visors bearing the design claimed in the Application.

29. During the prosecution of the ’010 Patent, neither Tan, Miruisi nor their attorneys

disclosed to the USPTO that third parties were selling vehicle visors bearing the design claimed

in the Application prior to November 19, 2017.

{Client/087257/1/02299772.DOCX;2 } -4-
Case 1:21-cv-01119 Document 1 Filed 03/02/21 Page 5 of 41 PageID #: 5

30. The ’010 Patent, entitled “Vehicle Visor,” issued on August 4, 2020. The ’010

Patent claims the ornamental design of a vehicle visor that is identical in all respects to the

design of the CWI Visor sold by CWI on eBay since July 9, 2014 and on Amazon since about

July 2014.

DEFENDANTS’ ILLEGAL CONDUCT

31. As demonstrated below, Miruisi and Wei have engaged in a course of conduct

designed to preclude CWI from selling the CWI Visor by making false and defamatory

allegations of intellectual property infringement.

32. Upon information and belief, Defendants either sell vehicle visors on e-commerce

platforms such as Amazon or sell vehicle visors to third parties who resell them on Amazon.

33. Upon information and belief, Defendants compete with CWI with respect to sales

of vehicle visors.

34. Upon information and belief, the purpose of the false complaint Defendants made

to Amazon regarding the CWI Visor was and is to injure competitors such as CWI by causing

Amazon to take down CWI’s listing for the CWI Visor and to otherwise damage CWI’s sales,

reputation and goodwill.

35. Because the ’010 Patent is unenforceable as it was obtained through inequitable

conduct and is otherwise invalid, Miruisi and Wei have no legitimate intellectual property claim

against CWI.

36. It is well-known among intellectual property owners that Amazon has a policy of

acting on virtually any notice of intellectual property infringement, whether legitimate or not.

37. As one Amazon expert explained:

In order to meet a minimum liability standard, Amazon will act upon


properly submitted and completed notice claims of infringement.
They will notify specified marketplace sellers which party reported

{Client/087257/1/02299772.DOCX;2 } -5-
Case 1:21-cv-01119 Document 1 Filed 03/02/21 Page 6 of 41 PageID #: 6

them, on what listing, and how to reach that would-be rights owner
via email. The rest though, is up to you. And, unless you (and
possibly your legal team) can prove that the Notice claim is false,
Amazon considers it valid and actionable.

Unfortunately, word is out among potential Notice claim abusers


that anyone can submit a form. Amazon [is] not worried about
additional vetting or verification processes. Investigators merely
check the form for completed content in all the right spaces, kill the
listings and send off the notifications.

They don’t independently verify that any of the information is


actually correct, or valid. The rights owner makes a legally-binding
declaration in the form, and signs it.

See Chris McCabe, False Infringement Claims are Rife on Amazon, WebRetailer (Apr. 11,

2018), https://www.webretailer.com/lean-commerce/false-infringement-claims-amazon/

(emphasis added).

38. It is well known that once Amazon takes down an Amazon Marketplace seller’s

listing for alleged infringement, it is often very difficult if not impossible to have the listing

reinstated, even if the seller demonstrates to Amazon that the accused product is not infringing or

that the intellectual property owner lacks valid rights.

39. On the occasions that Amazon does reinstate a product listing, it can take Amazon

weeks to do so.

40. Upon information and belief, Defendants were, at all relevant times, aware of the

foregoing Amazon policy with respect to reports of intellectual property infringement.

41. Upon information and belief, Defendants were, at all relevant times, aware that

Amazon will act on reports that a product infringes a design patent, regardless of the truth of the

report.

42. Upon information and belief, Defendants were, at all relevant times, aware that

once Amazon takes down an Amazon Marketplace seller’s listing for alleged infringement, it is

{Client/087257/1/02299772.DOCX;2 } -6-
Case 1:21-cv-01119 Document 1 Filed 03/02/21 Page 7 of 41 PageID #: 7

often very difficult if not impossible to have the listing reinstated, even if the seller demonstrates

to Amazon that the accused product is not infringing or that the intellectual property owner lacks

valid rights.

43. Upon information and belief, on or about January 29, 2021, Wei, acting under the

direction and authority of Miruisi, filed or caused to be filed a complaint with Amazon which

alleged that the CWI Visor infringed the ’010 Patent (the “Report”).

44. On information and belief, at all relevant times, Miruisi and Wei knew that such

allegations were false.

45. The Report submitted to Amazon was signed by Wei under penalty of perjury.

46. For example, when submitting an infringement report to Amazon, an intellectual

property rights owner must read and accept the following statements:

I have a good faith belief that the content(s) described above


violate(s) my rights described above or those held by the rights
owner, and that the use of such content(s) is contrary to law.

I declare, under penalty of perjury, that the information contained in


this notification is correct and accurate and that I am the owner or
agent of the owner of the rights described above.

Report Infringement, https://www.amazon.com/report/infringement (last visited January 22,

2021).

47. The Report caused Amazon to take down CWI’s listing for the CWI Visor.

48. Upon information and belief, at all relevant times, Defendants have known that

the ’010 Patent is invalid and unenforceable.

49. On information and belief, Defendants’ defamatory allegations that the CWI

Visor infringed the ’010 Patent were knowingly false and made in bad faith with the intent to

damage CWI.

{Client/087257/1/02299772.DOCX;2 } -7-
Case 1:21-cv-01119 Document 1 Filed 03/02/21 Page 8 of 41 PageID #: 8

50. As a result of the above false Report, CWI’s Amazon listing for the CWI Visor

was taken down, resulting in an immediate loss of revenue and profits for CWI.

51. At no time has CWI infringed the ’010 Patent.

52. On information and belief, Defendants knowingly made a false intellectual

property rights complaint against CWI.

53. Upon information and belief, the true purpose of the Report was to ensure the

removal of CWI’s listing for the CWI Visor, control pricing and eliminate fair competition.

FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION


DECLARATORY JUDGMENT OF NON-INFRINGEMENT AND PATENT
INVALIDITY
(Against Miruisi)

54. CWI repeats and realleges the allegations of Paragraphs 1–53 as if fully set forth

herein.

55. This claim arises under the patent laws of the United States, Title 35 United States

Code, and the Federal Declaratory Judgment Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2201, et seq.

56. There exists an actual and justiciable controversy between CWI and Miruisi with

respect to the alleged validity of the ’010 Patent due to the assertion of the ’010 Patent against

CWI.

57. The ’010 Patent is invalid for failure to comply with at least 35 U.S.C. § 102(a) in

view of, among other things, the offering for sale of the CWI Visor prior to November 19, 2017.

58. In view of the foregoing, Plaintiff are entitled to a judgment declaring that the

’010 Patent is invalid under at 35 U.S.C. § 102 and that the CWI Visor does not infringe the ’010

Patent.

Case 1:21-cv-01119 Document 1 Filed 03/02/21 Page 9 of 41 PageID #: 9

SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION


DECLARATORY JUDGMENT OF NON-INFRINGEMENT
AND UNENFORCEABILITY
(Against Miruisi)

59. CWI repeats and realleges the allegations of Paragraphs 1–58 as if fully set forth

herein.

60. This claim arises under the patent laws of the United States, Title 35 United States

Code, and the Federal Declaratory Judgment Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2201, et seq.

61. There exists an actual and justiciable controversy between CWI and Miruisi with

respect to the alleged enforceability of the ’010 Patent due to the assertion of the ’010 Patent

against CWI.

62. Upon information and belief, before and during the prosecution of the ’010

Patent, Miruisi and Tan knew of the CWI Visor.

63. During the prosecution of the ’010 Patent, Miruisi failed to disclose the CWI

Visor the USPTO.

64. Upon information and belief, Miruisi’s failure to disclose the CWI Visor to the

USPTO was intentional.

65. Upon information and belief, at all relevant times, Miruisi knew that the CWI

Visor was material because it rendered the design claimed in the ’010 Patent unpatentable.

66. Upon information and belief, Miruisi failed to disclose the CWI Visor to the

USPTO with an intent to deceive because Miruisi deliberately wanted to hide the fact that the

design claimed in the ’010 Patent was unpatentable in view of the CWI Visor.

67. Upon information and belief, had the USPTO been aware of the CWI Visor

during the prosecution of the ’010 Patent, it would not have allowed the ’010 Patent to issue.

{Client/087257/1/02299772.DOCX;2 } -9-
Case 1:21-cv-01119 Document 1 Filed 03/02/21 Page 10 of 41 PageID #: 10

68. Upon information and belief, because Miruisi failed to disclose the CWI Visor,

the USPTO allowed the ’010 Patent to issue.

69. In view of the foregoing, CWI is entitled to a judgment declaring that the ’010

Patent was obtained by inequitable conduct upon the USPTO and thus is unenforceable, and that

the CWI Visor does not infringe the ’010 Patent.

THIRD CAUSE OF ACTION


TORTIOUS INTERFERENCE WITH CONTRACT AND BUSINESS RELATIONS
(Against All Defendants)

70. CWI repeats and realleges the allegations of Paragraphs 1–69 as if fully set forth

herein.

71. CWI has had an advantageous business relationship with Amazon, which allows

CWI to sell on Amazon’s e-commerce platform as a third-party seller.

72. CWI also has a contractual relationship with Amazon, including through the

Amazon Business Services Agreement.

73. At all relevant times, Defendants were aware of CWI’s business relationship with

Amazon, as well as its contractual relationship with Amazon.

74. At all relevant times, Defendants were aware of the terms and conditions of

CWI’s contract with Amazon, as well as the advantageous business relationship that comes with

being an Amazon Marketplace seller.

75. Defendants intentionally and improperly interfered with CWI’s advantageous and

contractual relationship with Amazon by falsely claiming, with knowledge of such falsity, in

writing, to Amazon, that CWI was selling infringing products.

76. Defendants’ conduct directly and proximately caused disruption of CWI’s

relationship and contract with Amazon.

{Client/087257/1/02299772.DOCX;2 } - 10 -
Case 1:21-cv-01119 Document 1 Filed 03/02/21 Page 11 of 41 PageID #: 11

remove CWI’s listing for the CWI Visor.

79. Defendants’ defamatory accusations of infringement, made directly to Amazon,

were for the improper purpose of suppressing competition.

and proximately caused CWI’s Amazon listing for the CWI Visor to be taken down.

maliciously and with the intent to interfere with CWI’s business relationship with Amazon.

82. CWI has been damaged by the removal of its listing for the CWI Visor in that it

lost and continues to lose revenue and profits related to the CWI Visor.

83. CWI is entitled to damages, costs and attorneys’ fees as allowed by law.

84. Defendants’ conduct was malicious, intentional and oppressive, thereby justifying

an award of punitive damages.

85. CWI has suffered injury and, unless Defendants are enjoined from such activity,

will continue to suffer injury.

DEFAMATION
(Against All Defendants)

86. CWI repeats and realleges the allegations of Paragraphs 1–85 as if fully set forth

herein.

this Complaint, including by sending the Report to Amazon alleging that CWI infringed the ’010

Patent with the intent to injure CWI.

{Client/087257/1/02299772.DOCX;2 } - 11 -
Case 1:21-cv-01119 Document 1 Filed 03/02/21 Page 12 of 41 PageID #: 12

88. CWI did not infringe the ’010 Patent.

89. Defendants’ false statements were injurious to CWI’s business because they

caused Amazon to suspend CWI’s selling privileges related to the CWI Visor.

90. Defendants’ false statements were injurious to CWI’s business because they

caused Amazon’s and CWI’s customers to avoid purchasing products from CWI.

91. Upon information and belief, Defendants were, at a minimum, negligent in

making the false statements to Amazon because, among other things, Defendants knew that the

’010 Patent was unenforceable.

92. Defendants’ false statements are not protected by any privilege.

93. Defendants acted with actual malice or with reckless disregard for the truth of the

matter contained in Defendants’ false statements to Amazon and CWI’s customers.

94. False statements that are directed to the honesty, efficiency, or other business

character traits amount to defamation per se.

95. The statements made by Defendants were defamatory per se.

96. Additionally, CWI incurred special harm, including, but not limited to, suspension

from selling the CWI Visor and damage to its relationship with Amazon and its customers.

97. Whether by defamation per se or by special harm, CWI has suffered injury as

CWI’s selling privileges related to the CWI Visor have been suspended and CWI has lost sales

of the CWI Visor and other products.

98. CWI is entitled to damages, costs, and fees as allowed by law.

99. As a result of the defamatory statements made by Defendants, CWI has been

damaged in an amount to be determined at trial.

substantial saving of judicial resources is likely to result from assigning both cases to the same judge and magistrate judge.” Rule 50.3.1 (b) provides that “ A civil case shall not be
deemed “related” to another civil case merely because the civil case: (A) involves identical legal issues, or (B) involves the same parties.” Rule 50.3.1 (c) further provides that
“Presumptively, and subject to the power of a judge to determine otherwise pursuant to paragraph (d), civil cases shall not be deemed to be “related” unless both cases are still
pending before the court.”
