5 is accessible to customers nationwide, including those within this judicial district.
6 17. Deckers is informed and believes and herein alleges that Defendants are
7 competitors and have introduced Accused Products into the stream of commerce in an
8 effort to exploit Deckers’reputation in the market established in the UGG® Bailey
9 Button Boot.

11 products that infringe upon Deckers’design patents and trade dresses. Deckers may
12 seek leave to amend as additional information becomes available through discovery.
13 19. Deckers has not granted a license or any other form of permission to
14 Defendants with respect to its trademarks, design patents, trade dresses, or other
15 intellectual property.
16 20. Deckers is informed and believes and herein alleges that Defendants have
17 acted in bad faith and that Defendants’acts have misled and confused and were
18 intended to cause confusion, or to cause mistake, or to deceive as to the affiliation,
19 connection, or association of the Accused Products with Deckers, or as to the origin,
20 sponsorship, or approval of the Accused Products by Deckers.
21 FIRST CLAIM FOR RELIEF
22 (Trade Dress Infringement - 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a))
23 21. Deckers incorporates herein by reference the averments of the preceding
24 paragraphs as though fully set forth herein.
25 22. The UGG® Bailey Button boot was introduced in 2009 and the “Bailey
26 Button Boot Trade Dress”is unique and distinctive, consisting of a combination of the
27 following non-functional elements:
28 i Classic suede boot styling made famous by the UGG® brand;

Case 2:18-cv-01227

1 i Overlapping of front and rear panels on the lateral side of the boot shaft;
2 i Curved top edges on the overlapping panels;
3 i Exposed fleece-type lining edging the overlapping panels and top of the
4 boot shaft; and
5 i One or more buttons (depending on the height of the boot) prominently
6 featured on the lateral side of the boot shaft adjacent the overlapping panels
7 (hereinafter “Bailey Button Boot Trade Dress”).

14
15 23. The Bailey Button Boot Trade Dress, which is a composite of the above-
16 referenced features, is non-functional in its entirety, visually distinctive, and is unique
17 in the footwear industry.
18 24. The design of the Bailey Button Boot Trade Dress is neither essential to
19 its use or purpose nor does it affect the cost or quality of the boot. There are numerous
20 other designs available that are equally feasible and efficient, none of which
21 necessitate copying or imitating the Bailey Button Boot Trade Dress. The aforesaid
22 combination of features provides no cost advantages to the manufacturer or utilitarian
23 advantages to the consumer. These features, in combination, serve only to render
24 Deckers’UGG® Bailey Button boots distinct and recognizable as goods originating
25 from Deckers’UGG® brand.
26 25. The Bailey Button Boot Trade Dress is an original design by Deckers and
27 has achieved a high degree of consumer recognition and secondary meaning, which
28 serves to identify Deckers as the source of footwear featuring said trade dress.

7 internationally.
8 27. Deckers has spent substantial time, effort, and money in designing,
9 developing, advertising, promoting, and marketing the UGG® brand and its line of

23 Defendants.

25 competitors and have introduced Accused Products into the stream of commerce in an
26 effort to exploit Deckers’reputation in the market established in the UGG® Bailey

13 35. Deckers has no adequate remedy at law.

7 42. The conduct herein complained of was extreme, outrageous, and was
8 inflicted on Deckers in reckless disregard of Deckers’rights. Said conduct was
9 despicable and harmful to Deckers and as such supports an award of exemplary and
10 punitive damages in an amount sufficient to punish and make an example of
11 Defendants, and to deter them from similar such conduct in the future.
12 43. In light of the foregoing, Deckers is entitled to injunctive relief

COMPLAINT FOR DAMAGES AND EQUITABLE RELIEF
Case 2:18-cv-01227
2:18-cv-01217 Document 1 Filed 02/14/18 Page 10 of 23 Page ID #:10

1 47. The Accused Products that Defendants have caused to be produced,


2 distributed, advertised, marketed, offered for sale, and/or sold within the United States,
3 and/or has imported into the United States bear a design that is substantially similar to
4 the ‘999 Patent in direct violation of 35 U.S.C. § 271.
5 48. Defendants’aforesaid infringing acts are without Deckers’permission or
6 authority and are in total disregard of Deckers’right to control its intellectual property.
7 49. As a direct and proximate result of Defendants’infringing conduct,
8 Deckers has been injured and will continue to suffer injury to its business and
9 reputation unless Defendants are restrained by this Court from infringing Deckers’
10 ‘999 Patent.
11 50. Defendants’acts have damaged and will continue to damage Deckers, and
12 Deckers has no adequate remedy at law.
13 51. Deckers marks all footwear products embodying the design of the ‘999
14 Patent with “Pat. No. 599,999”on a product label in compliance with 35 U.S.C. § 287.
15 52. Given the widespread popularity and recognition of Deckers’Bailey
16 Button boot and the patent notice provided on the products themselves, Deckers avers
17 and hereon alleges that Defendants had pre-suit knowledge of Deckers’rights to the
18 ‘999 Patent and intentionally copied said design on their own footwear products in an
19 effort to pass them off as if they originated, are associated with, are affiliated with, are
20 sponsored by, are authorized by, and/or are approved by Deckers. Indeed, Deckers has
21 previously filed suit against Defendant Wal-Mart for infringement of the ‘999 Patent
22 and Bailey Button Boot Trade Dress.
23 53. On information and belief, Defendants’acts herein complained of
24 constitute willful acts and intentional infringement of the ‘999 Patent.
25 54. In light of the foregoing, Deckers is entitled to injunctive relief
26 prohibiting Defendants from infringing the ‘999 Patent and to recover damages
27 adequate to compensate for the infringement, including Defendants’profits pursuant to
28 35 U.S.C. § 289. Deckers is also entitled to recover any other damages as appropriate

2 FOURTH CLAIM FOR RELIEF
3 (Unfair Competition California Unfair Business Practices Act, Cal. Bus. & Prof.
4 Code, § 17200, et. seq.)
5 55. Deckers incorporates herein by reference the averments of the preceding
6 paragraphs as though fully set forth herein.
7 56. Defendants’appropriation, adoption and use of the Bailey Button Boot
8 Trade Dress on their own footwear is likely to confuse or mislead consumers into
9 believing that Defendants’goods are authorized, licensed, affiliated, sponsored, and/or
10 approved by Deckers, thus constituting a violation of the California Unfair Business
11 Practices Act, Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code, § 17200, et. seq.
12 57. The deceptive, unfair and fraudulent practices set forth herein have been
13 undertaken with knowledge by Defendants willfully with the intention of causing harm
14 to Deckers and for the calculated purpose of misappropriating Deckers’goodwill and
15 business reputation.
16 58. Defendants’acts have caused and will continue to cause irreparable injury
17 to Deckers. Deckers has no adequate remedy at law to compensate it fully for the
18 damages that have been caused and which will continue to be caused by Defendants’
19 unlawful acts, unless it is enjoined by this Court.
20 59. In light of the foregoing, Deckers is entitled to all available relief
21 provided for in California Unfair Business Practices Act, Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code, §

2 62. Defendants are competitors and have introduced Accused Products into
3 the stream of commerce in an effort to exploit Deckers’reputation in the market
4 established in the UGG® Bailey Button Boot.
5 63. Defendants’infringing acts were intended to capitalize on Deckers’
6 goodwill associated therewith for Defendants’own pecuniary gain. Deckers has
7 expended substantial time, resources and effort in creating and developing its unique
8 line of footwear that consumers recognize as originating from the UGG® brand. As a
9 result of Deckers’efforts, Defendants are now unjustly enriched and is benefiting from
10 property rights that rightfully belong to Deckers.
11 64. Defendants’acts are willful, deliberate, and intended to confuse the public
12 and to injure Deckers.
13 65. Deckers has no adequate remedy at law to compensate it fully for the
14 damages that have been caused and which will continue to be caused by Defendants’
15 infringing conduct, unless it is enjoined by this Court.
