`
`Jurisdiction and Venue
`
`7.
`
`This claim arises under the United States patent laws, 35 U.S.C. § 1,
`
`et seq., under the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1051, et seq., and under the Georgia
`
`Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act, O.C.G.A. §§ 10-1-370, et seq. This Court
`
`has subject matter jurisdiction over this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and
`
`1338(a). This Court has jurisdiction over Plaintiff Invisaflow’s related state claims
`
`under 28 U.S.C. § 1338(b) and 28 U.S.C. § 1367.
`
`8.
`
`Defendant Euramax is subject to personal jurisdiction in Georgia
`
`because, among other things, it has, directly or through intermediaries, committed
`
`acts within Georgia giving rise to this action and/or regularly does business,
`
`derives substantial revenues, and has established minimum contacts with Georgia
`
`such that the exercise of jurisdiction would not offend traditional notions of fair
`
`play and justice.

`
`business, derives substantial revenues, and has established minimum contacts with
`
`Georgia such that the exercise of jurisdiction would not offend traditional notions
`
`of fair play and justice.
`
`10. Venue is proper in this District and Division pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§
`
`1391(b), 1391(c) and 1400(b). Upon information and belief, the Defendants each
`
`have maintained a regular and established place of business and are doing business
`
`in this judicial district, and have committed acts of infringement arising out of their
`
`contacts in and are causing injury to Plaintiff Invisaflow in this judicial district.
`
`Factual Background
`
`11.
`
`Plaintiff Invisaflow has been in business since 2008 manufacturing
`
`and selling innovative products in the drainage industry, including low-profile
`
`water emitting attachments.
`
`12. On October 15, 2013, United States Patent No. 8,556,195 (“the ’195
`
`Patent”), entitled “Low Profile Attachment for Emitting Water,” was duly and
`
`legally issued to inventor Sloan Haynes, Jr. The ’195 Patent has been duly and
`
`legally assigned to Plaintiff Invisaflow. A true and correct copy of the ’195 Patent
`
`is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
`
`4
`
`Petitioner Euramax International, Inc. - Exhibit 1010 Page 4
`
`
`
`Case 1:14-cv-03026-MHC Document 7 Filed 10/27/14 Page 5 of 20
`
`13.
`
`Plaintiff Invisaflow is the owner by assignment of the ’195 Patent, and
`
`has the full and exclusive right to bring suit to enforce the ’195 Patent, and recover
`
`for any and all infringement thereof.
`
`14. Upon information and belief, the Defendants have infringed the ’195
`
`Patent by making, offering for sale, selling, importing, and/or using products in the
`
`United States that embody the patented inventions described and claimed in the
`
`’195 Patent. Upon information and belief, these infringing products include, but
`
`are not limited to, the “Extend-A-Spout v2 Low Profile Drainage System” product
`
`as
`
`marketed
`
`in
`
`various
`
`stores
`
`and
`
`online
`
`at
`
`http://www.amerimax.com/solutions/rainwater-diversion. Exhibit B.
`
`15. As a result of the infringement of the ’195 Patent, Plaintiff Invisaflow
`
`has been damaged, will be further damaged, and is entitled to be compensated for
`
`such damages, pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 284, in an amount to be determined at trial,
`
`but no less than a reasonable royalty.
`
`16.
`
`Plaintiff Invisaflow contacted and met with the Defendants on May
`
`22, 2014 informing them of the ’195 Patent and requested that the Defendants
`
`cease and desist from all manufacturing, marketing, distribution, uses, offers for
`
`sale, and sales of the “Extend-A-Spout” product. The Defendants have continued
`
`to manufacture, market, distribute, use, offer for sale, import, and/or sell the
`
`5
`
`Petitioner Euramax International, Inc. - Exhibit 1010 Page 5
`
`
`
`Case 1:14-cv-03026-MHC Document 7 Filed 10/27/14 Page 6 of 20
`
`“Extend-A-Spout v2” product. Accordingly, the Defendants’ wrongful activities
`
`will continue unless enjoined by the Court.
`
`17. Upon information and belief, Defendants purposefully continued
`
`manufacturing, marketing, distribution, use, offers for sale, imports, and/or sales of
`
`the “Extend-A-Spout v2” product despite knowledge of the ’195 Patent and despite
`
`an objectively high likelihood that their actions constituted infringement of one or
`
`more valid claims of the ’195 Patent (as Defendants knew or should have known),
`
`warranting an award of increased damages, a finding of willful infringement, and
`
`a finding that this case is “exceptional” pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §§ 284 and 285.
`
`18.
`
`Since at least 2010, Plaintiff Invisaflow has marketed and sold its
`
`StealthFlow low profile downspout extension product using a distinctive and
`
`nonfunctional trade dress incorporating a signature long low-profile shape
`
`beginning with a gradual transition that emanates from a round-shaped piping
`
`(“StealthFlow Trade Dress”) that is depicted in the following image:
`
`6
`
`Petitioner Euramax International, Inc. - Exhibit 1010 Page 6
`
`
`
`Case 1:14-cv-03026-MHC Document 7 Filed 10/27/14 Page 7 of 20
`
`19.
`
`The StealthFlow Trade Dress has acquired secondary meaning with
`
`consumers through its long standing use by Plaintiff Invisaflow. The StealthFlow
`
`Trade Dress identifies Plaintiff Invisaflow as the source of the StealthFlow
`
`product, and distinguishes the StealthFlow product from other downspout
`
`extension products. Invisalfow owns all right, title and interest in the StealthFlow
`
`Trade Dress and has exclusively used such trade dress until Defendants
`
`infringement thereof.
`
`20.
`
`Plaintiff Invisaflow has heavily advertised and promoted
`
`its
`
`StealthFlow product including the StealthFlow Trade Dress. This advertising and
`
`promotion has been accomplished by means of promotional and informational
`
`brochures, store displays, website, and other advertising, each of which has
`
`featured the StealthFlow Trade Dress.
`
`21. As a result of the distinctive StealthFlow Trade Dress, as well as
`
`Plaintiff InvisaFlow’s advertising and promotion of
`
`the StealthFlow,
`
`the
`
`StealthFlow has become very well-known and is closely associated with Plaintiff
`
`Invisaflow. The StealthFlow has been and continues to be a leading downspout
`
`extension product.
`
`22.
`
`Intending to capitalize on the success of Plaintiff InvisaFlow’s
`
`StealthFlow product, Defendants released their “Extend-A-Spout” downspout
`
`extension product, which largely copied the design of the StealthFlow, and in
`
`7
`
`Petitioner Euramax International, Inc. - Exhibit 1010 Page 7
`
`
`
`Case 1:14-cv-03026-MHC Document 7 Filed 10/27/14 Page 8 of 20
`
`particular the elements of the StealthFlow Trade Dress, namely, the signature long
`
`low-profile shape beginning with a gradual transition that emanates from a round-
`
`shaped piping. Defendants’ “Extend-A-Spout” product is depicted below:
`
`23. By designing the “Extend-A-Spout” product to replicate the unique
`
`look and feel of Plaintiff Invisaflow’s successful StealthFlow product, albeit with a
`
`lesser quality product, Defendants intentionally used, adopted, appropriated, and/or
`
`copied the StealthFlow Trade Dress without any approval or authorization from
`
`Plaintiff Invisaflow.
`
`24.
`
`Plaintiff Invisaflow has not licensed the StealthFlow Trade Dress to
`
`Defendants, nor has Plaintiff Invisaflow authorized Defendants to use the
`
`StealthFlow Trade Dress in any way.
`
`25.
`
`Through their use, adoption, appropriation, and/or copying of the
`
`StealthFlow Trade Dress without authorization, Defendants are misleading,
`
`deceiving, and/or confusing consumers in the marketplace as to the source, origin,
`
`sponsorship, or approval of the “Extend-A-Spout” product. In fact, Plaintiff
`
`8
`
`Petitioner Euramax International, Inc. - Exhibit 1010 Page 8
`
`
`
`Case 1:14-cv-03026-MHC Document 7 Filed 10/27/14 Page 9 of 20
`
`Invisaflow has received numerous inquiries from consumers who believe that the
`
`“Extend-A-Spout” product originates from, or is sponsored or approved by,
`
`Plaintiff Invisaflow. A true and accurate copy of just one example of such inquiry
`
`from a confused consumer is attached hereto as Exhibit C.
`
`26.
`
`Through their use, adoption, appropriation, and/or copying of the
`
`StealthFlow Trade Dress without authorization, Defendants are attempting to
`
`obtain (and are obtaining) the benefits of the goodwill associated with the
`
`StealthFlow Trade Dress.
`
`27. Defendants’ use, adoption, appropriation, and/or copying of the
`
`StealthFlow Trade Dress, without authorization,
`
`in connection with their
`
`advertisement, marketing, promotion, and sale of a confusingly similar type of
`
`product as the StealthFlow in this district and elsewhere in the United States has
`
`caused, and unless enjoined is likely to continue to cause confusion or mistake
`
`among, and to deceive, the consuming public as to the source, origin, sponsorship,
`
`or approval of the “Extend-A-Spout” product.
`
`28.
`
`Plaintiff Invisaflow has been damaged as a consequence of
`
`Defendants’ unauthorized use, adoption, appropriation, and/or copying of the
`
`StealthFlow Trade Dress. In addition, Defendants’ conduct could cause Plaintiff
`
`Invisaflow to suffer further immediate and irreparable injury, loss, and damage for
`
`which Plaintiff Invisaflow will have no adequate remedy at law.

`
`
`
`Case 1:14-cv-03026-MHC Document 7 Filed 10/27/14 Page 10 of 20
`
`29. Defendants’ use, adoption, appropriation, and/or copying of the
`
`StealthFlow Trade Dress without authorization shows willful misconduct, malice,
`
`fraud, wantonness, oppression, and/or the entire lack of care which would raise the
`
`presumption of conscious indifference to its consequences.
`
`Count I – Defendants’ Infringement of U.S. Patent No. 8,556,195
`
`30.
`
`Plaintiff
`
`Invisaflow repeats and re-alleges
`
`the allegations of
`
`paragraphs 1–29 above as if fully set forth herein.
`
`31. Upon information and belief, the Defendants have infringed and are
`
`continuing to infringe the ’195 Patent, willfully and deliberately, by engaging in
`
`acts including making, selling, offering to sell, importing, and/or using products
`
`that embody the patented inventions described and claimed in the ’195 Patent.
`
`Upon information and belief, these infringing products include, but are not limited
`
`to, the Extend-A-Spout v2 Low Profile Drainage System product.
`
`32. Upon information and belief, the Defendants will continue to infringe
`
`the ’195 Patent unless and until enjoined by this Court. As a result of the
`
`Defendants’ infringing conduct, Plaintiff Invisaflow has suffered, and will continue
`
`to suffer, irreparable harm for which there is no adequate remedy at law. Plaintiff
`
`Invisaflow is entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief against such
`
`infringement, under 35 U.S.C. § 283.

`
`
`
`Case 1:14-cv-03026-MHC Document 7 Filed 10/27/14 Page 11 of 20
`
`33.
`
`Plaintiff Invisaflow gave Defendants notice of their infringement of
`
`the ’195 Patent on May 22, 2014, but the Defendants have continued their
`
`infringement, in willful disregard of the ’195 Patent and Plaintiff Invisaflow’s
`
`rights created thereunder. This is an exceptional case because of the Defendants’
`
`willful infringement.
`
`34. As a result of the infringement of the ’195 Patent, Plaintiff Invisaflow
`
`has been damaged, will be further damaged, and is entitled to be compensated for
`
`such damages, pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 284, in an amount to be determined at trial.
`
`35.
`
`The Defendants’ acts of infringement have been without an express or
`
`implied license by Plaintiff Invisaflow, and are in violation of the rights owned by
`
`Plaintiff Invisaflow.
`
`Count II – Defendants’ Federal Trade Dress Infringement
`
`36.
`
`Plaintiff
`
`Invisaflow repeats and re-alleges
`
`the allegations of
`
`paragraphs 1–35-11 and 18–29 above as if fully set forth herein.
`
`37. Defendants’ unauthorized use, adoption, appropriation, and/or
`
`copying of the StealthFlow Trade Dress has caused a likelihood of confusion,
`
`mistake, or deception as to the source, origin, sponsorship, or approval of
`
`Defendants’ “Extend-A-Spout” product, in violation of Section 43(a) of the
`
`Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a).

`
`
`
`Case 1:14-cv-03026-MHC Document 7 Filed 10/27/14 Page 12 of 20
`
`38. Defendants’ unauthorized use, adoption, appropriation, and/or
`
`copying of the StealthFlow Trade Dress falsely suggests an affiliation or
`
`connection with, or sponsorship or approval of, Defendants’ “Extend-A-Spout”
`
`product, in violation of Section 43(a) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a).
`
`39. Defendants’ actions have damaged Plaintiff Invisaflow and its
`
`business.
`
`40. Unless
`
`temporarily, preliminarily and permanently
`
`enjoined,
`
`Defendants’ conduct will cause Plaintiff Invisaflow irreparable harm for which
`
`there exists no adequate remedy at law.
`
`41.
`
`Plaintiff Invisaflow is entitled to recover from Defendants all damages
`
`Plaintiff Invisaflow has suffered due to Defendants’ improper conduct, as well as
`
`Defendants’ profits obtained from its infringing conduct, in an amount to be
`
`proved at trial and to be trebled, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1117.
`
`42. Defendants’ actions are willful and deliberate and amount to
`
`exceptional circumstances, justifying an award of attorneys’ fees to Plaintiff
`
`Invisaflow pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1117.
`
`Count III – Defendants’ Federal Unfair Competition
`
`43.
`
`Plaintiff
`
`Invisaflow repeats and re-alleges
`
`the allegations of
`
`paragraphs 1-11, 18–29 and 36–42 above as if fully set forth herein.

`
`
`
`Case 1:14-cv-03026-MHC Document 7 Filed 10/27/14 Page 13 of 20
`
`44. Defendants’ unauthorized use, adoption, appropriation, and/or
`
`copying of the StealthFlow Trade Dress has caused a likelihood of confusion,
`
`mistake, or deception as to the source, origin, sponsorship, or approval of
`
`Defendants’ “Extend-A-Spout” product, in violation of Section 43(a) of the
`
`Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a).
`
`45. Defendants’ unauthorized use, adoption, appropriation, and/or
`
`copying of the StealthFlow Trade Dress falsely suggests an affiliation or
`
`connection with, or sponsorship or approval of, Defendants’ “Extend-A-Spout”
`
`product, in violation of Section 43(a) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a).
`
`46. Defendants’ actions of unfair competition have caused unjust
`
`enrichment to Defendants and caused Plaintiff Invisaflow to sustain monetary
`
`damages, loss, and injury to its business, trade, reputation, and goodwill in an
`
`amount that is unknown to, and cannot be calculated by, Plaintiff Invisaflow at
`
`present, and therefore must be determined at the trial of this action.
`
`47. Unless
`
`temporarily, preliminarily and permanently
`
`enjoined,
`
`Defendants’ conduct will cause Plaintiff Invisaflow irreparable harm for which
`
`there exists no adequate remedy at law.
`
`48.
`
`Plaintiff Invisaflow is entitled to recover from Defendants all damages
`
`Plaintiff Invisaflow has suffered due to Defendants’ improper conduct, as well as

`
`Defendants’ profits obtained from its infringing conduct, in an amount to be
`
`proved at trial and to be trebled, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1117.
`
`49. Defendants’ actions are willful and deliberate and amount to
`
`exceptional circumstances, justifying an award of attorneys’ fees to Plaintiff
`
`Invisaflow pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1117.
`
`Count IV – Defendants’ Violations of the Georgia Deceptive
`Trade Practices Act, O.C.G.A. §§ 10-1-370 et seq.
`
`50.
`
`Plaintiff
`
`Invisaflow repeats and re-alleges
`
`the allegations of
`
`paragraphs 1–49 above as if fully set forth herein.
`
`51. Defendants’ use, adoption, appropriation, and/or copying of the
`
`StealthFlow Trade Dress without authorization constitute unfair methods of
`
`competition and unfair or deceptive acts or practices in violation of O.C.G.A. §§
`
`10-1-370 et seq.
`
`52. Defendants’ use, adoption, appropriation, and/or copying of the
`
`StealthFlow Trade Dress without authorization constitute deceptive and misleading
`
`trade practices in violation of O.C.G.A. §§ 10-1-372(a)(2), (3), (5), and (12).
`
`53. Defendants’ acts were known by Defendants to be deceptive and
`
`misleading, or through the exercise of reasonable care or investigation could or
`
`might have been ascertained to be deceptive and misleading.

`
`
`
`Case 1:14-cv-03026-MHC Document 7 Filed 10/27/14 Page 15 of 20
`

`
`in the marketplace as to the source, origin, sponsorship, or approval of the
