28
1 selling a version of the TMS Truck Rack branded as “AA-Racks Model X35

2 description of the TMS Truck Rack shows the similarities and infringement of
3 Defendants’ product. Both products have the same loading capacity, adjustable
4 width design, easy instillation, item weight of approximately 50 pounds, a design
5 intended to have the end bars extend above the crossbar, approximate height, and
6 use the same construction material, namely, steel. The AA X35 product mirrors
7 Plaintiffs’ product, the TMS Truck Rack, on Amazon.com and Defendants’
8 website. Defendants’ listing titles use nearly every single word from Plaintiffs’
9 listing title in one listing or another. Defendants thus have a clear intention to
10 confuse customers by presenting the same product with the same description and
11 key title words as Plaintiffs’ product.

19 substantially identical to Plaintiff’s TMS Truck Rack.

1 78. As alleged above, Defendants have manufactured, offered for sale,

2 sold, and marketed Infringing Products on the same websites that Plaintiffs sell
3 from and are in direct competition for sales of the products that are substantially
4 identical. The ordinary purchaser is likely to confuse and attribute to Plaintiffs the
5 misuse by Defendants of the Asserted Patent and thereby purchase Defendants’
6 Infringing Products based upon that erroneous belief.
7 79. Plaintiffs are informed and believe, and upon that basis allege, that
8 Defendants copied Plaintiffs’ TMS Truck Rack and TMS Flat Rack and
9 reproduced them with the intent of causing confusion, mistake, and deception as to
10 the source of the Defendants’ Infringing Products and with the intent to take
11 consumers away from Plaintiff. As such, Defendants have committed design
12 patent infringement, misleading advertising, and unfair competition, all in violation
13 of the California Unfair Business Practices Act, Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200 et
14 seq.
15 80. Upon information and belief, Plaintiffs allege that unless enjoined by
16 the Court, the confusion and deception alleged herein, and the likelihood thereof
17 will continue, will cause irreparable harm and damage to Plaintiffs.
18 81. Plaintiffs have been proximately damaged by Defendants’
19 infringement and are thus entitled to a permanent injunction to prevent further such
20 conduct, and monetary damages including, but not limited to, all of Defendants’
21 profits on the products sold under or in connection with its infringing use of
22 Plaintiffs’ Asserted Patent, Plaintiffs’ lost profits, compensation for the injury to
23 Plaintiffs’ goodwill and business reputation, expenses incurred in trying to prevent
24 customer confusion, plus Plaintiffs’ attorney fees and costs.
25 FIFTH COUNT

28
1 Intentional Interference with Prospective Economic Relations Against All

2 Defendants
5 83. The Court has jurisdiction over this Cause pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
6 § 1367.
7 84. Plaintiffs allege that Plaintiffs and consumers of its TMS Truck Rack
8 and TMS Flat Rack were in an economic relationship that probably would have
9 resulted in an economic benefit for Plaintiffs in the form of continued purchases
10 from the abovementioned consumers.
11 85. Plaintiffs are informed and believes and therefore alleges that
12 Defendants were aware of the relationship between Plaintiffs and the current and
13 potential consumers of Plaintiffs’ TMS Truck Rack and TMS Flat Rack.
14 86. Plaintiffs allege that Defendants engaged in the wrongful conduct of
15 infringing Plaintiffs’ Asserted Patent and in doing so, intended or at least knew that
16 Plaintiffs’ relationship with its TMS Truck Rack and TMS Flat Rack consumers
17 was certain to be disrupted due to confusion as to which company’s products
18 consumers were purchasing.
19 87. Plaintiffs allege, upon information and belief, that its relationship with
20 its consumers has in fact been disrupted where consumers mistakenly purchased
21 Defendants’ Infringing Product over Plaintiffs’ TMS Truck Rack and TMS Flat
22 Rack, and consumers have stopped placing orders with Plaintiffs.
23 88. Upon information and belief, Plaintiffs allege that unless enjoined by
24 the Court, the confusion and deception alleged herein, and the likelihood thereof
25 will continue, will cause irreparable harm and damage to Plaintiffs.
26
23
28
1 89. Plaintiffs have been proximately damaged by Defendants’

2 infringement and are thus entitled to a permanent injunction to prevent further such
3 conduct, and monetary damages including, but not limited to, all of Defendants’
4 profits on the products sold under or in connection with its infringing use of
5 Plaintiffs’ Asserted Patent, Plaintiffs’ lost profits, compensation for the injury to
6 Plaintiffs’ goodwill and business reputation, expenses incurred in trying to prevent
7 customer confusion, plus Plaintiffs’ attorney fees and costs.
8 SIXTH COUNT
9 Unjust Enrichment Against All Defendants
12 91. As a result of its conduct in selling the Infringing Products,
13 Defendants have been unjustly enriched and, at the same time, is causing a loss of
14 revenue to Plaintiffs to their detriment.
15 92. Plaintiffs are entitled to recover from the Defendants their unjust
16 enrichment including gains, profits, and advantages they have obtained as a result
17 of their wrongful conduct. Plaintiffs are, at present, unable to ascertain the full
18 extent of the gains, profits, and advantages Defendants have obtained by reason of
19 their wrongful conduct.
20 SEVENTH COUNT
21 Demand For Accounting Against All Defendants
24 94. Plaintiffs have an interest in all monies generated from the
25 exploitation of its exclusive rights to their Asserted Patent.
26
24
28
1 95. Plaintiffs are informed and believe that Defendants have generated an
2 undetermined, yet substantial amount of money, due to their unlawful commercial
3 exploitation of Plaintiffs’ Asserted Patent.
4 96. The amount of money due from the Defendants is unknown to
5 Plaintiffs and cannot be ascertained without an accounting of all of the Defendants’
6 financial records related to the sales generated through their infringing and
7 unlawful activities.
8 97. As a result of Defendants’ actions, Plaintiffs have been damaged in an
9 amount to be proven after an accounting has been conducted. Accordingly,
10 Plaintiffs hereby request that the Court order an accounting of all of Defendants’
11 financial records related to the infringing activities in order to determine the sums
12 rightfully due to Plaintiffs.
13 98. Furthermore, Plaintiffs demand that those sums be paid to them
14 accordingly.

25
26
25
28
1 4. For preliminary and permanent injunction against Defendants,

2 preventing Defendants from any future usage of any identical or similarly
3 confusing design related to Plaintiffs’ Asserted Patent;
4 5. The Defendants, their officers, agents, servants, employees, attorneys,
5 and all those in active concert or participation with them be enjoined and restrained:
6 a. From further using Plaintiffs’ Asserted Patent or any other
7 confusingly similar design, in connection with the manufacture, sale,
8 advertisement, or promotion of any product or any other similar
9 infringement of Plaintiffs’ Asserted Patent, for products not originating from
10 Plaintiffs or authorized by Plaintiffs;
11 b. From diluting any of Plaintiffs’ Asserted Patent, with any other
12 confusingly similar design patent; and
13 c. From engaging in unfair competition by making and selling its
14 products or otherwise using confusingly similar designs, in such a way as to
15 misrepresent the origin of any of the Defendants’ products.
16 6. For an order requiring Defendants to deliver and be impounded during
17 the pendency of this action all material in Defendants’ possession, custody, or
18 control that include or incorporate products that infringe Plaintiffs’ Asserted Patent

20 advertisements in their possession or under their control utilizing Plaintiffs’ design
21 patents, or any simulation, reproduction, counterfeit, copy, or colorable imitation
22 thereof;
23 7. Directing that the Defendants report to this Court within thirty (30)

4 10. For punitive damages in an amount sufficient to punish Defendants
5 for their wrongful conduct and to deter others from engaging in similar conduct in
6 the future;
7 11. For statutory damages as provided by law;
8 12. Directing such other relief as the Court may deem appropriate to
9 prevent the trade and public, or individual members thereof, from gaining the
10 erroneous impression that Plaintiffs authorized or approved any products
11 manufactured, sold, or otherwise circulated or promoted by the Defendants or that
12 such products are in any way related to Plaintiffs;
13 13. Awarding the Plaintiffs damages by reason of the infringement by
14 Defendants as set forth in this Complaint, pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §§ 284 and 289,
15 and common law;
