jurisdiction, including but not limited to Innovative Lighting Systems and Jack Duffy and
Associates.
8.

1391(b) and 1400(b).

FACTUAL BACKGROUND
9.

Beta-Calco is engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing and selling

lighting products.
10.

Beta-Calco is the owner by way of assignment of the 558 Patent entitled

LUMINAIRE. The 558 Patent was duly and legally issued by the United States Patent and
Trademark Office (USPTO) on September 8, 2015. The 558 Patent is in force and effect
and is presumed valid under the U.S. patent laws.
COUNT I: INFRINGEMENT OF THE 558 PATENT
11.

Beta-Calco incorporates by reference herein the allegations of Paragraphs 1-10

of this Complaint.
12.

Upon information and belief, Spectrum has been, and is, directly infringing

the 558 Patent by making, using, selling and/or offering for sale a series of products under
the name ESPRESSO, including at least Spectrums ME1314, ME1314UD, ME1816,
ME1314UDLEDGV, ME1816UDLEDGV, ME1314LEDGV, ME1816LEDGV
(collectively, the Infringing Products). True and accurate copies of specification sheets for
the Infringing Products are attached as Exhibit B.
13.

A comparison of the light fixture of the 558 Patent and one of the Infringing

Products is shown below:

3

Case: 3:16-cv-02969-JZ Doc #: 1 Filed: 12/12/16 4 of 6. PageID #: 4

The 558 Patent

14.

Spectrums ESPRESSO Pendant

As shown in paragraph 13, based on a visual comparison of the pictured

design of the 558 Patent and the design of Spectrums ESPRESSO pendant, an ordinary
observer, giving such attention as a purchaser usually gives, would consider the two designs
to be substantially the same.
15.

On October 25, 2016, Beta-Calco, by way of its counsel, sent a notice of

infringement letter to Spectrum, including a copy of the 558 Patent. On information and
belief, at least as early as October 26, 2016, Spectrum was aware of the 558 Patent and BetaCalcos allegation that the ESPRESSO pendants infringe the 558 Patent.

Case: 3:16-cv-02969-JZ Doc #: 1 Filed: 12/12/16 5 of 6. PageID #: 5

16.

Spectrum has knowingly and willfully infringed the 558 Patent. Spectrum will

continue to infringe the 558 Patent, causing Beta-Calco substantial and irreparable damage,
unless enjoined by this Court.
17.

Beta-Calco will be greatly, immediately and irreparably harmed unless the

Court enjoins Spectrum and its agents, affiliates, servants, employees, attorneys,
representatives, and all others acting on their behalf from infringing the 558 Patent.
18.

Beta-Calco has also suffered monetary damages in an amount not yet

determined because of Spectrums infringement of the 558 Patent.

PRAYER FOR RELIEF
Beta-Calco prays for the following relief:
(a)

A judgment that Spectrum has infringed the 558 Patent and continues to do
so;

(b)

A judgment that Spectrums infringement of the 558 Patent has been willful;

(c)

A judgment against Spectrum awarding Beta-Calco damages equal to all

revenues and profits derived by Spectrum from Spectrums infringement of
the 558 Patent pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 289;

(d)

A judgment against Spectrum awarding Beta-Calco damages suffered pursuant

to 35 U.S.C. 284 on account of Spectrums infringement of the 558 Patent;

(e)

A judgment that Beta-Calco damages be trebled pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 284

and that punitive damages be assessed against Spectrum;

Case: 3:16-cv-02969-JZ Doc #: 1 Filed: 12/12/16 6 of 6. PageID #: 6

(f)

A permanent injunction against Spectrum and any entity acting in concert with
it, pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 283, preventing Spectrum and any such entity from
infringing the 558 Patent;

(g)

A judgment that this is an exceptional case and that Beta-Calco be awarded

reasonable attorney fees pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 285; and

(h)

A judgment that Spectrum be directed to pay Beta-Calco its costs incurred

herein and such other and further relief as the Court deems just and equitable.
