 Case 2:17-cv-00738-JNP Document 2 Filed 07/03/17 Page 2 of 14

States. All of the claims asserted herein arise out of and are based on Defendants brazen and

willful infringement of Plaintiffs intellectual property rights not only in the LAMZAC Lounger

Patents, but also in Plaintiffs copyrights associated with marketing material for the LAMZAC

Lounger.

2. Plaintiffs bring claims for design patent infringement under Section 271 of the U.S.

Patent Act, 35 U.S.C. 271, copyright infringement under Sections 106 and 501 of the U.S.

Copyright Act of 1976, 17 U.S.C. 106, 501, removal of copyright management information

and use of false copyright management information in violation of the Digital Millennium

Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. 1202, unfair competition under Section 43(a) of the

Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. 1125(a), and unfair competition under Utah Code Ann. 13-5a-103.

3. Plaintiffs seek injunctive relief to stop Defendants unlawful distribution and sale of

his infringing product, as well as his unlawful use of the LAMZAC Lounger marketing

material. Plaintiffs also seek monetary relief in an amount sufficient to compensate for their

loss, an accounting and award of Defendants total profits flowing from his infringing activities,

statutory damages under Section 1203 of the DMCA, prejudgment interest, costs and attorneys

fees, and all other relief the Court deems just and proper.
