345 Patent
22.
Through its advertising, marketing, making, using, importing, selling, and
offering for sale the Infringing Spotlights, Defendant is selling a colorable imitation of the
claimed design of the Design Patents, without license from Wireless Environment.
23.
In the eye of an ordinary observer, giving such attention as a purchaser usually
gives, the claimed design of the Design Patents and the designs of the Infringing Spotlights are
substantially the same and virtually identical, so as to deceive the observer into purchasing the
Infringing Spotlights under the mistaken belief that they are Wireless Environment Spotlights
and MR BEAMS-brand products.
W IRE L E S S E N V IRO N M E N TS TRA D E D RE S S RIGH TS
24.
The non-functional product design of the Wireless Environment Spotlight also
attained secondary meaning and Wireless Environment now owns valid trademark rights over
that distinctive design.
25.
Consumers have come to associate the Wireless Environment Spotlights unique,
distinctive product design with one source.

26.
Among other reasons why the design of the Wireless Environment Spotlight
attained secondary meaning, Wireless Environment has invested significant marketing and
advertising resources in connection with that product, which is featured on numerous websites,
in catalogs that are in circulation in over 70 million homes, and on Shop HQ, which has a
viewership in excess of 15 million households.
27.
Among other reasons the design of the Wireless Environment Spotlight attained
secondary meaning, Wireless Environment has enjoyed significant sales of that product
throughout the United States, as well as in Europe and in Asia.
28.
Furthermore, Wireless Environment began selling the Wireless Environment
Spotlight prior to Defendants sale of the Infringing Spotlights, and, as a result, has priority over
the trademark rights to the design of the Wireless Environment Spotlight.
29.
The substantial similarities between the design of the Infringing Spotlights and
the design of the Wireless Environment Spotlight are causing consumers to confuse, mistake, or
to be deceived about an affiliation, connection, or association between Defendant and Wireless
Environment and its MR BEAMS-brand products.
30.
The substantial similarities between the design of the Infringing Spotlights and
the design of the Wireless Environment Spotlight are causing consumers to be deceived as to the
origin, as well as Wireless Environments sponsorship, or approval, of the Infringing Spotlights.
31.
Defendants infringement of Wireless Environments trademark rights over the
design of the Wireless Environment Spotlight is willful and deceptive, further demonstrating
acquired distinctiveness in Wireless Environments product design.

32.
Wireless Environment created and owns the below photo of the Wireless
Environment Spotlight (the Wireless Environment Spotlight Photo):

Wireless Environment registered its valid copyright to the Wireless Environment
Spotlight Photo, effective on April 13, 2015, Registration Nos. VAu 1-204-310 and VAu 1-204307, attached as Exhibits E and F, respectively.
34.
The Wireless Environment Spotlight Photo has value and was created and
produced at Wireless Environments expense.

35.
In connection with the sale of the two-LED Infringing Spotlight on amazon.com,
Defendant copied and used the Wireless Environment Spotlight Photo in a listing for the twoLED Infringing Spotlight, as depicted in the attached Exhibit G and below:

36.
Defendant used the Wireless Environment Spotlight Photo without Wireless
Environments authorization and, in so doing, infringed Wireless Environments copyright in

that photo.
37.
Defendants unauthorized use of the Wireless Environment Spotlight Photo while
advertising, marketing, and selling its own products further evidences its willful and intentional
trading off of Wireless Environments good will, reputation and brand standing.
38.
Defendants infringing activities are causing further irreparable harm to Wireless
Environment, as described below.

H A RM TO W IRE L E S S E N V IRO N M E N T
39.
Through its marketing and advertising activities, the high quality of the Wireless
Environment Spotlight, reasonable pricing, and through its sales worldwide, Wireless
Environment attained significant good will and, moreover, a high reputation with consumers,
retail buyers, and the marketplace with respect to the Wireless Environment Spotlight and other
MR BEAMS-brand products.
40.
As a result of the good will it attained with consumers, retail buyers, and the
marketplace, Wireless Environment enjoys repeat business for the Wireless Environment
Spotlight as well as its other products.
41.
Wireless Environment also enjoys significant brand standing in the LED product
industry for its high-quality and innovative products.

42.
Through advertising, marketing, making, using, importing, selling, and offering
the sale of the Infringing Spotlights, Defendant is confusing consumers into believing that its
spotlights are Wireless Environment Spotlights and MR BEAMS-brand products, in an attempt
to trade off of Wireless Environments good will, reputation, and brand standing.
11
43.
On information and belief, the Infringing Spotlights are lesser quality spotlights
than the Wireless Environment Spotlight.

44.
If Defendant continues its infringing sales, Wireless Environment will continue to
suffer irreparable harm that is difficult to quantify and that cannot be adequately addressed
through monetary damages, including:
Loss of the reputation, good will, and brand standing attained with
consumers, retail buyers, and the marketplace;
Immeasurable loss of downstream sales of later product versions and

associated MR BEAMS-brand products;
Immeasurable continued costs associated with having to continually

enforce the Design Patents against resellers of the Infringing Spotlights on
e-commerce sites, such as amazon.com and eBay.com, which facilitate the
reselling and on-going proliferation of the Infringing Spotlights;
Erosion of product pricing as a result of Defendants and resellers

constant lowering of prices toward liquidation levels; and,
Loss of market share, sales, and consumers, not only for the Wireless
Environment Spotlight but other MR BEAMS-brand products.
45.
The irreparable harm that Wireless Environment is suffering and continues to
suffer as a result of Defendants sale of the Infringing Spotlights outweighs any inconvenience
imposed upon Defendant, if required to cease selling the Infringing Spotlights and sell a noninfringing product, instead.
46.
The public has an interest in the enforcement of Wireless Environments patent
rights and, furthermore, an interest in preventing Defendant from unfairly competing with
Wireless Environment through the sale of its Infringing Spotlights.

Spotlights, which are substantially similar to and virtually identical in appearance and design as
the inventive, novel, and ornamental design claimed in the 965 Patent.
50.
As a result of Defendants infringement of the 965 Patent, Wireless Environment
suffered and will continue to suffer irreparable harm unless Defendants infringing activities are
enjoined.
51.
Wireless Environment has no adequate remedy at law for the irreparable harm
caused by Defendants infringement and is entitled to injunctive relief.

52.
Wireless Environment also suffered monetary damages.
53.

Authority For Civil Cover Sheet
The JS 44 civil cover sheet and the information contained herein neither replaces nor supplements the filings and service of pleading or other papers as
required by law, except as provided by local rules of court. This form, approved by the Judicial Conference of the United States in September 1974, is

Court for each civil complaint filed. The attorney filing a case should complete the form as follows:
I.(a)
(b)
(c)
Plaintiffs-Defendants. Enter names (last, first, middle initial) of plaintiff and defendant. If the plaintiff or defendant is a government agency, use
only the full name or standard abbreviations. If the plaintiff or defendant is an official within a government agency, identify first the agency and
then the official, giving both name and title.
County of Residence. For each civil case filed, except U.S. plaintiff cases, enter the name of the county where the first listed plaintiff resides at the
time of filing. In U.S. plaintiff cases, enter the name of the county in which the first listed defendant resides at the time of filing. (NOTE: In land

in this section "(see attachment)".
II.

to the Constitution, an act of Congress or a treaty of the United States. In cases where the U.S. is a party, the U.S. plaintiff or defendant code takes
precedence, and box 1 or 2 should be marked.
Diversity of citizenship. (4) This refers to suits under 28 U.S.C. 1332, where parties are citizens of different states. When Box 4 is checked, the
citizenship of the different parties must be checked. (See Section III below; NOTE: federal question actions take precedence over diversity
cases.)
III.
Residence (citizenship) of Principal Parties. This section of the JS 44 is to be completed if diversity of citizenship was indicated above. Mark this
section for each principal party.
IV.
Nature of Suit. Place an "X" in the appropriate box. If the nature of suit cannot be determined, be sure the cause of action, in Section VI below, is
sufficient to enable the deputy clerk or the statistical clerk(s) in the Administrative Office to determine the nature of suit. If the cause fits more than
one nature of suit, select the most definitive.
V.
Origin. Place an "X" in one of the six boxes.

Original Proceedings. (1) Cases which originate in the United States district courts.
Removed from State Court. (2) Proceedings initiated in state courts may be removed to the district courts under Title 28 U.S.C., Section 1441.

date.

When this box is checked, do not check (5) above.

statutes unless diversity. Example: U.S. Civil Statute: 47 USC 553 Brief Description: Unauthorized reception of cable service
