University, Pratt School of Architecture, Parsons School of Design, Philadelphia College
of Art and UCLA. He was also a contributor on Chrysler and Toyota projects at the Art
Center, Pasadena College of Design, and he served on the Nissan Design Advisory

20. Through the efforts of Mr. Sonneman and others, Sonneman designs and
sells innovative and unique lighting products, including its CONNETIX line of lighting

- 6 -

products. The CONNETIX line of lighting products has garnered notoriety and acclaim,
while also achieving unprecedented sales for Sonneman. True and correct images of

21. Sonneman has extensively advertised and promoted the CONNETIX line

- 10 -

of lighting products. Since their introduction in J anuary of 2012, the CONNETIX line of
lighting products has enjoyed tremendous sales growth and critical recognition.
CONNETIX lighting products are sold nationwide and throughout the world. U.S. sales
exceed $1 Million.
22. The CONNETIX lighting products were prominently featured as part of a
20 foot display in the front window of Gracious Homesflagship Upper East Side,
N.Y.C. location. Attached as Exhibit 1 is a true and correct copy of a press release
associated with the Gracious Homedisplay.
23. The CONNETIX lighting products were featured in advertisements in the
September 2012, October 2012, and November 2012 issues of METROPOLIS
magazine. Attached as Exhibit 2 are true and correct copies of said advertisements.
24. The success of the CONNETIX lighting products is in large part due to its
distinctive design features and overall appearance. This in turn has made customers
and consumers aware of the distinctive look and appearance of the CONNETIX line of
lighting products which Sonneman offers and sells.
25. Sonneman owns design rights in the CONNETIX line of lighting products
in the U.S. and elsewhere. In particular, Sonneman is the owner of U.S. Design Patent

series of interconnected elongated cuboidal elements; (b) each cuboidal element having
a metallic or metallic-like middle portion and an illuminating end portion; and (c) the

recognized as identifying Sonnemans high quality lighting fixture products.

Sonneman, a lighting product having the CONNETIX Trade Dress is immediately
associated by purchasers and the public as being one of Sonnemans genuine
CONNETIX lighting products.
29. The following are images of Defendants knock-off and infringing
Crossroads products (hereafter the Infringing Products); these images were obtained
from the website located at et2online.com, which is registered in the name of Defendant
