Case No. 12-cv-9894





COMPLAINT
Plaintiffs TRUE RELIGION APPAREL, INC. and GURU DENIM, INC. (collectively,
True Religion or Plaintiffs) hereby bring the present action against Defendants DOES 1-100
identified on Schedule A attached hereto (collectively, Defendants) and allege as follows:
I. JURISDICTION AND VENUE
1. This Court has original subject matter jurisdiction over the claims in this action
pursuant to the provisions of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. 1051 et seq., 28 U.S.C. 1338(a) and
(b), and 28 U.S.C. 1331. This Court has jurisdiction over the claims in this action that arise
under the laws of the State of Illinois pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1367(a), because the state law
claims are so related to the federal claims that they form part of the same case or controversy and
derive from a common nucleus of operative facts.
2. Venue is proper in this Court pursuant 28 U.S.C. 1391, and this Court may
properly exercise personal jurisdiction over Defendants since each of the Defendants directly
targets business activities toward consumers in Illinois and causes harm to True Religions
Case: 1:12-cv-09894 Document #: 1 Filed: 12/12/12 Page 1 of 19 PageID #:1
2

business within this Judicial District. Through at least the fully interactive commercial Internet
websites operating under the Defendant Domain Names identified in Schedule A attached hereto
(collectively, the Defendant Internet Stores), each of the Defendants has targeted and solicited
sales from Illinois residents by operating online stores that offer shipping to Illinois, accept
payment in U.S. dollars and, on information and belief, has sold counterfeit True Religion
products to residents of Illinois. Each of the Defendants is committing tortious acts in Illinois, is
engaging in interstate commerce, and has wrongfully caused True Religion substantial injury in
the State of Illinois.
II. INTRODUCTION
3. This action is filed to combat the continued unlawful use of the Defendant
Internet Stores which trade upon True Religions reputation and goodwill to sell and/or offer for
sale unlicensed and counterfeit products featuring True Religions federally-registered
trademarks. True Religion has been and continues to be irreparably damaged through consumer
confusion, dilution, and tarnishment of its valuable TRUE RELIGION Trademarks (as defined
below) as a result of Defendants actions and seeks injunctive and monetary relief.
III. THE PARTIES

14. All of the registrations listed above are valid, subsisting, unrevoked and
uncancelled, and most of them have become incontestable pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1065. True
Religion also owns common law rights in these and other marks. True and correct copies of the
federal trademark registrations for the TRUE RELIGION Trademarks are attached hereto as
Exhibit 2.
15. The TRUE RELIGION Trademarks are unique and distinctive when applied to
high-quality jeanswear, sportswear, accessories and other products, and identify the merchandise
as high-quality goods from TRUE RELIGION. The registrations for the TRUE RELIGION
Trademarks constitute prima facie evidence of their validity and conclusive evidence of TRUE
RELIGIONs exclusive right to use the TRUE RELIGION Trademarks.
16. The TRUE RELIGION Trademarks qualify as famous marks, as that term is used
in 15 U.S.C. 1125 (c)(1), and have been continuously used and never abandoned.
17. In addition to the TRUE RELIGION Trademarks, consumers identify and seek
TRUE RELIGION Products by looking for the TRUE RELIGION Design Label that appears
above the back pocket of genuine TRUE RELIGION jeanswear: (the TRUE
Case: 1:12-cv-09894 Document #: 1 Filed: 12/12/12 Page 8 of 19 PageID #:8
9

RELIGION Design Label). True Religion owns a U.S. trademark registration (Reg. No.
2,917,187) for the TRUE RELIGION Design Label. The United States Copyright Office re-
issued the Certificate of Registration for the TRUE RELIGION Design Label on or about
February 5, 2009 (Copyright Reg. No. VA 1,698,310), a true and correct copy of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit 3. The TRUE RELIGION Design Label was created by Jeffrey
Lubell in 2002, who assigned the entire right in and to the work to True Religion.
18. True Religion is also the owner of the entire right, title and interest in and to U.S.
Design Patent Number D547,530 for the ornamental stitch pattern applied to jeanswear or other
apparel, which constitutes patentable subject matter and was registered with the United States
Patent and Trademark Office on or about July 31, 2007 (the True Religion Patent). A copy of
the True Religion Patent is annexed hereto as Exhibit 4. The ornament stitch pattern was
invented by Jeffrey Lubell in or about 2005, who assigned the entire right in and to the True
Religion Patent to True Religion.
19. True Religion has used and is currently using the TRUE RELIGION Trademarks
and Designs in commerce on or in connection with its sale of True Religion Products, and plans
to continue such use in the future.
20. True Religion has carefully built its reputation by, among other things, adhering
to strict quality control standards. As such, genuine True Religion Products are manufactured
pursuant to specific, stringent guidelines.
21. True Religion prominently displays the TRUE RELIGION Trademarks in its
advertising and promotional materials. True Religion has spent substantial amounts in
advertising and promoting the TRUE RELIGION Trademarks and True Religion Products. The
continuous and broad use of the TRUE RELIGION Trademarks in connection with True
Case: 1:12-cv-09894 Document #: 1 Filed: 12/12/12 Page 9 of 19 PageID #:9
10

Religion Products has enabled TRUE RELIGION to achieve widespread fame, and has made the
TRUE RELIGION Trademarks themselves among the most famous and widely-recognized
marks in the United States.
22. Consumers, potential consumers and other members of the public not only
associate True Religion Products with exceptional materials, style and workmanship, but also
recognize that True Religion Products originate exclusively from True Religion. Consequently,
True Religion has acquired and enjoys an outstanding reputation and significant goodwill
associated with the TRUE RELIGION Trademarks in connection with the True Religion
Products, and the TRUE RELIGION Trademarks are invaluable assets to True Religion.
The Defendants
23. Defendants are individuals and business entities who, upon information and
belief, reside in foreign jurisdictions. Defendants conduct business throughout the United States,
including within the State of Illinois and this Judicial District, through the operation of the fully
interactive commercial websites operating under the Defendant Internet Stores. Each Defendant
targets Illinois residents and has offered to sell, and on information and belief, has sold and
continues to sell his/her products to consumers within the State of Illinois.
24. On information and belief, Defendants are a group of counterfeiters acting in
active concert or copying from each other and are knowingly and willfully manufacturing,
importing, distributing, offering for sale and selling products bearing counterfeits of the TRUE
RELIGION Trademarks to Illinois residents. Defendants are directly and personally contributing
to, inducing and engaging in the sale of counterfeit True Religion products as alleged herein, and
on information and belief, oftentimes as partners, co-conspirators and/or suppliers in the same
transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences. The counterfeit products for
Case: 1:12-cv-09894 Document #: 1 Filed: 12/12/12 Page 10 of 19 PageID #:10
11

sale on the Defendant Internet Stores bear similar irregularities and indicia of being counterfeit to
one another, indicating that the counterfeit products were manufactured by and come from a
common source and that Defendants are interrelated. In addition, the websites linked to the
Defendant Domain Names include multiple similarities, such as page layout, payment methods,
check-out methods, hosting services, text and copyright-protected images copied from the True
Religion Web Store.
25. On information and belief, Defendants use multiple fictitious names and
addresses to register and operate the Defendant Internet Stores. Many of Defendants names and
addresses used to register the Defendant Internet Stores are incomplete, contain randomly typed
letters, or fail to include cities or states. With respect to the Defendant Domain Names, many
Defendants use a privacy service that conceals the owners identity and contact information and
many accounts are registered to the same alias. On information and belief, Defendants will
likely continue to register new internet stores, using the identities listed in Schedule A to the
Complaint, as well as other unknown fictitious names and addresses, for the purpose of selling
counterfeit True Religion products. However, Defendants use at least the aliases identified on
Schedule A to conduct their counterfeit business.
IV. DEFENDANTS UNLAWFUL CONDUCT
26. Defendants engage in the offering for sale and the sale of counterfeit True
Religion products bearing the TRUE RELIGION Trademarks within this Judicial District
through the Defendant Internet Stores. Defendants, upon information and belief, also operate
additional websites which promote and offer for sale counterfeit goods under domain names not
yet known to True Religion. Defendants have purposefully directed their illegal activities toward
Case: 1:12-cv-09894 Document #: 1 Filed: 12/12/12 Page 11 of 19 PageID #:11
12

the United States and consumers in the State of Illinois through advertisement, offering for sale,
and, on information and belief, sale of counterfeit True Religion products into this State.
27. Defendants, without any authorization or license from True Religion, have
knowingly and willfully used and continue to use the TRUE RELIGION Trademarks in
connection with the advertisement, offering for sale, and sale of counterfeit True Religion
products into the United States and Illinois over the Internet. Each Defendant Internet Store
offers shipping to Illinois residents and, on information and belief, each Defendant has sold
counterfeit True Religion products into Illinois.
28. Defendants facilitate sales by designing their websites so that they appear to
unknowing consumers to be authorized online retailers or outlet stores selling genuine True
Religion products. Many of the websites are sophisticated in appearance, written in English, and
accept payment in U.S. dollars.
29. Many of the Defendant Domain Names incorporate the TRUE RELIGION
Trademarks into the URL, and many include True Religions copyright-protected content,
images and product descriptions, making it very difficult for a consumer to distinguish such
counterfeit sites from an authorized retailer.
30. On information and belief, the websites at the Defendant Domain Names each
accept payment via credit card and/or PayPal and ship the counterfeit products via the U.S.
Postal Service in small quantities to minimize detection by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
31. Defendants further perpetuate the illusion of legitimacy by offering live 24/7
customer service and fraudulently using indicia of authenticity and security that consumers have
come to associate with authorized retailers, including the McAfee Security, VeriSign, Visa,
MasterCard and PayPal logos.
Case: 1:12-cv-09894 Document #: 1 Filed: 12/12/12 Page 12 of 19 PageID #:12
13

32. Defendants use of the TRUE RELIGION Trademarks in connection with the
advertising, distribution, offering for sale and sale of counterfeit True Religion products,
including the sale of counterfeit True Religion products into Illinois, is causing and has caused
confusion, mistake and deception by and among consumers and is irreparably harming True
Religion.
COUNT I
TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT AND COUNTERFEITING (15 U.S.C. 1114)

33. True Religion re-alleges and incorporates by reference the allegations set forth in
paragraphs 1 through 32.
34. This is a trademark infringement action against Defendants based on their
unauthorized use in commerce of counterfeit imitations of the registered TRUE RELIGION
Trademarks in connection with the sale, offering for sale, distribution, and/or advertising of
infringing goods. The TRUE RELIGION Trademarks are highly distinctive marks. Consumers
have come to expect the highest quality from True Religions products sold or marketed under
the TRUE RELIGION Trademarks.
35. Defendants have sold, offered to sell, marketed, distributed and advertised, and
are still selling, offering to sell, marketing, distributing and advertising products bearing
counterfeit reproductions of the TRUE RELIGION Trademarks without True Religions
permission.
36. Upon information and belief, Defendants are willfully infringing and have
knowledge of True Religions rights in the TRUE RELIGION Trademarks. Defendants
unauthorized use of the TRUE RELIGION Trademarks is likely to cause and is causing
confusion, mistake, and deception as to the origin and quality of the counterfeit goods among the
general public.
Case: 1:12-cv-09894 Document #: 1 Filed: 12/12/12 Page 13 of 19 PageID #:13

37. Defendants illegal activities constitute trademark infringement and counterfeiting
under Section 32 of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. 1114.
38. True Religion has no adequate remedy at law, and if Defendants actions are not
enjoined, True Religion will continue to suffer irreparable harm to its reputation and the
goodwill of its well-known TRUE RELIGION Trademarks.
39. The injuries and damages sustained by True Religion have been directly and
proximately caused by Defendants wrongful reproduction, use, advertisement, promotion,
offering to sell, and sale of counterfeit True Religion products.
COUNT II
FALSE DESIGNATION OF ORIGIN (15 U.S.C. 1125(a))

40. True Religion hereby re-alleges and incorporates by reference the allegations set
forth in paragraphs 1 through 39.
41. Defendants promotion, marketing, offering for sale and sale of counterfeit True
Religion products has created and is creating a likelihood of confusion, mistake, and deception
among the general public as to the affiliation, connection or association with True Religion or to
the origin, sponsorship, or approval of Defendants counterfeit True Religion products by True
Religion.
42. By using the TRUE RELIGION Trademarks on the counterfeit products,
Defendants create a false designation of origin and a misleading representation of fact as to the
origin and sponsorship of the counterfeit products.
43. Defendants false designation of origin and misrepresentation of fact as to the
origin and/or sponsorship of the counterfeit products to the general public is a violation of
Section 43 of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. 1125.
Case: 1:12-cv-09894 Document #: 1 Filed: 12/12/12 Page 14 of 19 PageID #:14
15

44. True Religion has no adequate remedy at law and, if Defendants actions are not
enjoined, True Religion will continue to suffer irreparable harm to its reputation and the
goodwill of its brand.
COUNT III
CLAIM FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF UNDER THE ANTICYBERSQUATTING
CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT (15 U.S.C. 1125(d)) AS TO THE DEFENDANTS
OPERATING A DEFENDANT DOMAIN NAME INCORPORATING THE
TRUE RELIGION WORD MARK

45. True Religion hereby re-alleges and incorporates by reference the allegations set
forth in paragraphs 1 through 44.
46. True Religion is the exclusive owner of the TRUE RELIGION Trademarks. The
TRUE RELIGION Trademarks, as well as True Religions International Trademark
Registrations, are in full force and effect. Additionally, the TRUE RELIGION Trademarks are
famous marks pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1125 and were famous before and at the time of the
registration of the Defendant Domain Names.
47. Upon information and belief, Defendants have acted with the bad faith intent to
profit from the unauthorized use of the TRUE RELIGION Trademarks and the goodwill
associated therewith by registering various domain names which are identical to, confusingly
similar to or dilutive of the TRUE RELIGION Trademarks.
48. Defendants have no intellectual property rights in or to the TRUE RELIGION
Trademarks.
49. Defendants actions constitute cyberpiracy in violation of 43(d) of the Lanham
Act, 15 U.S.C. 1125(d).
Case: 1:12-cv-09894 Document #: 1 Filed: 12/12/12 Page 15 of 19 PageID #:15
16

50. True Religion has no adequate remedy at law, and the registration and use of the
Defendant Domain Names has caused, is causing, and is likely to continue to cause substantial
and irreparable injury to the public and to True Religion.
COUNT IV
VIOLATION OF ILLINOIS UNIFORM DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES ACT
(815 ILCS 510, et seq.)

51. True Religion hereby re-alleges and incorporates by reference the allegations set
forth in paragraphs 1 through 50.
52. Defendants have engaged in acts violating Illinois law including, but not limited
to, passing off their products as those of True Religion, causing a likelihood of confusion and/or
misunderstanding as to the source of their goods, causing a likelihood of confusion and/or
misunderstanding as to an affiliation, connection, or association with True Religions products,
representing that their products have True Religions approval when they do not, and engaging in
other conduct which creates a likelihood of confusion or misunderstanding among the public.
53. The foregoing Defendants acts constitute a violation of the Illinois Uniform
Deceptive Trade Practices Act, 815 Ill. Comp. Stat. 510, et seq.
54. True Religion has no adequate remedy at law, and Defendants conduct has
caused True Religion to suffer damage to its reputation and goodwill. Unless enjoined by the
Court, True Religion will suffer future irreparable harm as a direct result of Defendants
unlawful activities.
PRAYER FOR RELIEF
