`
`3.
`
`Defendant John Baxter is a Florida resident and a director of Dires. On
`
`information and belief, John Baxter is a member of Dires.
`
`4.
`
`Dires is a Delaware limited liability company with its principal place of
`
`business in Florida. Dires does business as Personal Touch and Personal Comfort, which
`
`are both registered in Florida as entities wholly owned by Dires.
`
`JURISDICTION AND VENUE
`
`5.
`
`This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this action pursuant to
`
`28 U.S.C. § 1338 and supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claims pursuant to 28
`
`U.S.C. § 1367. Venue lies in this District under 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b) and (c).
`
`6.
`
`This Court has personal jurisdiction over Defendants. Defendants have
`
`purposefully, continuously and systematically conducted business in Minnesota by, inter
`
`alia, advertising, promoting and selling their air bed mattress products in Minnesota.
`
`Defendants’ advertising, promotion and selling is conducted primarily through highly
`
`interactive websites accessible at the domain names personaltouchbed.com and
`
`personalcomfortbed.com, through which Defendants offer for sale and sell products to
`
`Minnesota residents by making deceptive and misleading statements and by infringing
`
`Select Comfort’s trademarks. Defendants thus transact business over the internet with
`
`Minnesota residents, enter into contracts with Minnesota residents via the internet, and
`
`collect payment for products from Minnesota residents via the internet. Defendants have
`
`willfully engaged in unauthorized, false and misleading uses of Select Comfort’s
`
`trademarks, which has caused and continues to cause harm to Select Comfort, a
`
`Minnesota resident. Defendants continue to engage in unauthorized, false and misleading

`
`use of Select Comfort’s trademarks even after the nature of these uses have been brought
`
`to Defendants’ attention by Select Comfort.
`
`FACTS
`
`7.
`
`Select Comfort designs, manufactures and markets unique air bed products,
`
`many features of which are either proprietary or protected by the patent laws of the
`
`United States. Select Comfort’s Sleep Number® bed uses uniquely designed air
`
`chambers to provide a gentle cushion of support which can be easily adjusted to an
`
`individual’s preference, comfort and firmness. Studies show that the Sleep Number® bed
`
`relieves back pain and improves sleep quality.
`
`8.
`
`Select Comfort is the owner of all rights in the trademark Sleep Number®,
`
`including United States Trademark Registration Nos. 2,753,633, 2,618,999 and 2,641,045
`
`which registrations are incontestable. True and correct copies of these registrations are
`
`attached as Exhibit A.
`
`9.
`
`Select Comfort is the owner of all rights in the trademark Select Comfort®,
`
`including United States Trademark Registration Nos. 1,581,562, 1,590,557 1,976,214,
`
`2,702,763, 2,801,405, and 2,803,623, which registrations are incontestable. True and

`
`11.
`
`The trademarks described above are collectively referred to as “Select
`
`Comfort’s Trademarks” or “the Trademarks-At-Issue.”
`
`12.
`
`Select Comfort has an excellent reputation for both its unique product line
`
`and superior quality of its products and services. Select Comfort was ranked the number
`
`one bedding retailer in the United States by Furniture/Today for nine consecutive years.
`
`13.
`
`Sleep Number® beds and accessories are available nationwide at Select
`
`Comfort retail stores in major shopping malls and other locations, through the company’s
`
`national direct marketing operations, as well as through Select Comfort’s website at
`
`sleepnumber.com.
`
`14.
`
`Select Comfort markets its Sleep Number® beds and related goods through
`
`extensive advertising in, inter alia, newspapers, national circulation magazines, direct
`
`mailings, radio advertisements and television commercials and infomercials.
`
`15. As a result of the innovation and quality of its products, together with the
`
`widespread advertising and promotion thereof, Select Comfort has acquired a reputation
`
`for quality, integrity and innovation, and it is well-known as the leading seller of
`
`premium air-supported sleep products.
`
`16. As a result of widespread use in connection with the advertising and
`
`promotion of its Sleep Number® beds and related products, Select Comfort has developed
`
`substantial good will and national recognition in the Trademarks-At-Issue as a source of
`
`high-quality mattresses and bedding products.

`

`
`Indeed, the Sleep Number® and Select Comfort® marks, as well as the
`
`What’s Your Sleep Number® mark, are among the most widely recognized trademarks in
`
`the bedding industry.
`
`DEFENDANTS
`
`18. On information and belief, Dires was incorporated to control and conduct
`
`business as Personal Touch and Personal Comfort.
`
`19. On information and belief, at the time Dires was incorporated, Baxter
`
`intended to engage in the illegal, infringing, misleading, and deceptive acts alleged
`
`herein.
`
`20. Baxter was formerly employed by Comfortaire Direct LLC and/or
`
`Comfortaire Corporation (collectively “Comfortaire”).
`
`21. Comfortaire manufactures and sells a line of adjustable airbeds that
`
`compete with Select Comfort’s products.
`
`22. When employed by Comfortaire, Baxter had resposibilites related to and
`
`developed Comfortaire’s online advertising of its adjustable airbeds.
`
`23. At Baxter’s direction, Comfortaire’s online advertising through internet
`
`search engines, such as Google, was nearly identical to the tactics now used by
`
`Defendants as described herein.
`
`24.
`
`For example Comfortaire, at Baxter’s direction, purchased Select Comfort’s
`
`Trademarks as search terms in Google’s Adwords program and paid to have an ad
`
`displayed when a consumer searched for “Sleep Number” that stated “Sleep 55% Off
`
`Number Bed.”

`
`
`CASE 0:12-cv-02899-DWF-SER Document 1 Filed 11/16/12 Page 6 of 24
`
`25. Due to this, and other conduct, Select Comfort filed a lawsuit against
`
`Comfortaire in the United States Distirct Court for the Distrct of Minnesota, styled Select
`
`Comfort Corporation v. Comfortaire Direct LLC and Comfortaire Corporation, Court
`
`File No. 11-cv-00622 (DWF/JJK).
`
`26. As set out in the complaints against Comfortaire, Comfortaire engaged in
`
`much of the same wrongful conduct that Defendants are now engaging in as described
`
`herein.
`
`27. As a result of the complaints filed against it, Comfortaire agreed to cease its
`
`wrongful and infringing conduct.
`
`28. On information and belief, Baxter’s employment with Comfortaire ceased.
`
`29. Baxter also formerly operated an entity named Zero Gravity that ran a
`
`website at www.zerogravitybed.com. While operating this business, Baxter and Zero
`
`Gravity infringed on Select Comfort’s Trademarks and engaged in other deceptive
`
`conduct identified in a February 13, 2008 cease and desist letter sent by Select Comfort
`
`and attached hereto as Exhibit D.
`
`30. On or about August 1, 2012, Baxter and other directors and members of
`
`Dires, if any, formed and registered Dires, LLC.
`
`31. On information and belief, Baxter and other directors and members of
`
`Dires, if any, formed Dires for the improper purpose of shielding themselves from
`
`personal liability arising from the illegal, infringing, misleading, and deceptive acts
`
`alleged herein.

`
`32. On information and belief, Baxter was personally involved, controlled,
`
`directed, and directly participated in Defendants’ infringing conduct alleged herein. On
`
`information and belief, Baxter supplied Dires with the infringing advertising alleged
`
`herein, and has the ultimate authority to direct the infringing conduct.
`
`DEFENDANTS’ ACTIVITIES
`
`33. Defendants operate domain names and websites at personalcomfortbed.com
`
`and personaltouchbed.com though which they sell air mattresses and related products to
`
`purchasers in all 50 states.
`
`34.
`
`In connection with the sale and promotion of their air beds and related
`
`products, Defendants engage in unauthorized use of and infringe upon Select Comfort’s
`
`Trademarks.
`
`35. Defendants have no rights in any of Select Comfort’s Trademarks.
`
`36. Google Adwords is an advertising product offered by Google. Google
`
`Adwords allows entities or individuals to purchase advertising space and will display the
`
`advertiser’s advertising text to consumers who search for terms purchased by the
`
`advertiser. A Google user can click on the purchased advertisement and will be directed
`
`to a website of the advertiser’s choosing.
`
`37. On information and belief, Defendants purchase Select Comfort’s Select
`
`Comfort® Trademark, or a portion thereof, as a search term via Google’s Adwords
`
`program, and other similar internet advertising platforms or shopping sites.

`
`38. On information and belief, Defendants purchase Select Comfort’s Sleep
`
`Number® Trademark, or a portion thereof, as a search term via Google’s Adwords
`
`program, and other similar internet advertising platforms or shopping sites.
`
`39. Defendants purchase search terms that include the words “Select Comfort”
`
`and “Sleep Number” to lure consumers, cause confusion, or divert customers seeking
`
`Select Comfort’s goods, services, or website.
`
`40. Defendants further attempt to deceive consumers, as well as Google’s
`
`search algorithm, through the use of confusing and infringing ad links displayed in the
`
`Google search results, such as by inserting the phrase “50% off” into Select Comfort’s
`
`trademarks.
`
`41.
`
`For example, a user searching for Sleep Number® products by searching the
`
`term “Sleep Number bed” may be shown a link titled “Sleep 50% Off Number Beds,” as
`
`reflected below.
`

`
`
`
`CASE 0:12-cv-02899-DWF-SER Document 1 Filed 11/16/12 Page 9 of 24
`
`42. Defendants further the confusion by displaying a domain website address
`
`that uses Select Comfort’s Trademarks. Specifically, Defendants display the address
`
`www.personalcomfortbed/vSleepNumber. However, neither the link “Sleep 50% Off
`
`Number Beds” nor the address displayed lead to a website that sells genuine Sleep
`
`Number® products. Rather, they lead to Defendants’ website.
`
`43.
`
`Similarly, a user searching for Sleep Number® products by searching the
`
`term “Number bed” may be shown a link titled “Sleep 50% Off Number Beds” and an
`
`address of www.personalcomfortbed.com/SleepNumber, as reflected below. This link
`
`and address lead to Defendants’ website, not a website that sells genuine Sleep Number
`
`products.
`
`44. Defendants use similar tactics when consumers search for “Select Comfort
`
`
`
`bed,” as reflected in the example below.

`
`CASE 0:12-cv-02899-DWF-SER Document 1 Filed 11/16/12 Page 10 of 24
`
`45.
`
`In addition, Defendants infringe Select Comfort’s Trademarks in attempt to
`
`confuse customers and divert sales from Select Comfort to Defendants through internet
`
`
`
`shopping sites.
`
`46.
`
`For example, on Google’s shopping site a consumer searching for “Sleep
`
`Number bed” is presented with an advertisement for “A5 bed by Select Personal Sleep
`
`Comfort Number Beds.”
`
`47. A similar advertisement is displayed when consumers search for “Number
`
`Bed.”
`
`48. None of these links lead to a website that sells genuine Select Comfort
`
`products. Rather, the links lead to Defendants’ website.
`
`49.
`
`In sum, as a result of the above-described search term purchases, users
`
`searching for Select Comfort products by inputting the search terms “Select Comfort
`
`Bed,” “Sleep Number Bed,” or “Number Bed” are presented misleading and infringing
`
`

`
`links to Defendants’ websites among the sponsored links prominently displayed near the
`
`top of the search results page or the homepage for the advertising website.
`
`50. Defendants’ purchase and/or use of the keywords including “Select
`
`Comfort,” “Sleep Number,” and “Number Bed” in Internet search engines and
`
`advertising sites, as referenced above, was made with knowledge of Select Comfort’s
`
`rights in Select Comfort® and Sleep Number® marks.
`
`51. Defendants’ purchase and/or use of the keywords including “Select
`
`Comfort,” “Sleep Number,” and “Number Bed” in Internet search engines and
`
`advertising sites is intended as a means of advertising its products on the internet.
`
`52. Defendants’ purchase and/or use of the keywords including “Select
`
`Comfort,” “Sleep Number,” and “Number Bed” in Internet search engines, advertising
`
`sites, and shopping sites allows Defendants to use and trade off of Select Comfort’s
`
`Trademarks in commerce to promote, sell, offer for sale or otherwise distribute
`
`Defendants’ own products.
`
`53. Defendants’ purchase and/or use of the keywords including “Select
`
`Comfort,” “Sleep Number,” and “Number Bed” in Internet search engines, advertising
`
`sites, and shopping sites alone and in conjunction with its misleading and infringing
`
`headline links, domain names and website addresses that are presented to consumers,
`
`allows Defendants to mislead, misdirect, deceive, or confuse the public at large and
`
`consumers seeking Sleep Number® beds and Select Comfort’s goods, services, or website
`
`on the Internet.

`
`CASE 0:12-cv-02899-DWF-SER Document 1 Filed 11/16/12 Page 12 of 24
`
`54. Defendants purchased and/or used of the keywords “Select Comfort” and
`
`“Sleep Number” in Internet search engines, advertising sites, and shopping sites and
`
`continue to do so, to mislead, deceive and lure consumers, cause confusion, or divert
`
`customers seeking Sleep Number® beds and Select Comforts’ goods, services, or
`
`website.
`
`55. Defendants further attempt to deceive consumers, as well as Internet search
`
`engine algorithms, such as Google, by using Select Comfort’s Trademarks in the meta-
`
`information for its websites and domain names and through the use of confusing and
`
`infringing page headings displayed in the Internet search results page.
`
`56.
`
`Furthermore, Defendants’ continue their attempt to confuse and mislead
`
`consumers through their websites by extensive and repeated uses of Select Comfort’s
`
`Trademarks, far beyond the minimal use necessary to identify Select Comfort’s products
`
`for comparison purposes, and in a manner likely to cause confusion among consumers.
`
`57. Consumers who click on the infringing and deceptive links Defendants use
`
`on internet search engines, advertising websites, and shopping sites and are diverted to
`
`Defendants’ websites, or otherwise visit Defendants’ websites, are subjected to further
`
`deceptive and infringing uses of Select Comfort’s Trademarks.
`
`58.
`
`For example, when on Defendants’ websites at personalcomfortbed.com or
`
`personaltouchbed.com, the tab in Microsoft Internet Explorer prominently displays the
`
`name “Sleep Number Bed,” as shown in the example below, despite Defendants not
`
`selling and having no rights to sell Sleep Number® Beds.

`
`
`
`59.
`
`In addition, consumers who visit the personalcomfortbed.com website are
`
`presented with advertising that states “Save up to 50% Off – Online Special Edition
`
`Bed,” suggesting that consumers who search for Sleep Number can get an “online
`
`edition” Sleep Number bed at 50% off. Personaltouchbed.com employs a similar tactic,
`
`but states “Save up to 60% Off – Online Special Edition Bed.”
`
`60. As reflected below, the advertisements on Defendants’ websites indicate
`
`that Defendant’s price for the online bed is lower than “S.N. Price” for the same bed.

`
`
`
`
`
`61. On information and belief, Defendants use these advertisements to deceive
`
`consumers into believing they can get 50% - 60% off a Sleep Number® Bed online.
`
`62. On information and belief, Defendants do not intend to sell any consumers
`
`a discounted “online edition bed” and created this advertising fiction for the purpose of

`
`creating false and deceptive price comparisons and baiting consumers to contact
`
`Defendants to allow Defendants to sell consumers a different, more expensive bed.
`
`63.
`
`The personaltouchbed.com and personalcomfortbed.com websites include
`
`additional uses of or variations on Select Comfort’s trademarks that are likely to cause
`
`confusion among consumers.
`
`64. Defendants use the tag line “What Number Are You?” which infringes and
`
`is confusingly similar to Select Comfort’s “What’s Your Sleep Number?” Trademark.
`
`65. Defendants have wrongfully and intentionally diverted sales from Select
`
`Comfort to Defendants.
`
`66. Defendants have realized sales from customers who entered “Select
`
`Comfort Bed,” “Sleep Number Bed” or “Number Bed” as search terms in Google and
`
`other Internet advertising websites.
`
`67.
`
`Select Comfort has lost sales due to Defendants’ illegal purchase and/or use
`
`of Select Comfort’s Trademarks as keywords in internet search engines, advertising sites
`
`and shopping sites.
`
`68. Consumers who have searched for “Sleep Number Bed,” “Select Comfort
`
`Bed” or “Number Bed” using internet search engines, advertising sites, and shopping
`
`sites have been confused, deceived, and/or misled into believing that Defendants’ links
`
`will direct them to Select Comfort’s Sleep Number® website, a website affiliated with
`
`Select Comfort, and/or a website where they can purchase Sleep Number® beds and
`
`Select Comfort® products online.

`
`69.
`
`Similarly, consumers who have searched for “Sleep Number Bed,” “Select
`
`Comfort Bed” or “Number Bed” using internet search engines, advertising sites, and
`
`shopping sites have been confused, deceived, and/or misled into believing that
`
`Defendants’ advertising statements displayed on its paid links and headlines apply to, are
`
`affiliated with, and/or are endorsed by Select Comfort and its Sleep Number® products.
`
`70. As such, Defendants have misled, deceived, and/or confused the public at
`
`large and consumers seeking Sleep Number® beds and Select Comfort’s goods, services,
`
`or website.
`
`71. Defendants began their uses of the Trademarks-At-Issue as described herein
`
`long after Select Comfort began using said marks.
`
`72.
`
`The products which Defendants advertise and sell in connection with their
`
`unauthorized use of Select Comfort’s Trademarks are highly related to the products sold
`
`by Select Comfort in connection with Select Comfort’s use of the Trademarks-At-Issue.
`
`73.
`
`The unauthorized use of Select Comfort’s Trademarks by Defendants in the
`
`manner described above enables Defendants to trade on and receive the benefit of good
`
`will in Select Comfort’s Trademarks which Select Comfort has built up at great labor and
`
`expense over many years. This unauthorized use by Defendants also enables Defendants
`
`to gain acceptance for their own goods, not solely on the merits of those goods, but on the
`
`reputation and good will of Select Comfort and its own trademarks.
`
`74.
`
`The unauthorized use of Select Comfort’s Trademarks by Defendants in the
`
`manner described above is likely to cause confusion and/or deceive customers and
`
`potential customers of the parties, as to some affiliation, connection or association of
`

`
`Defendants with Select Comfort, or as to the origin, sponsorship, or approval of the
`
`goods of Defendants by Select Comfort.
`
`75.
`
`The unauthorized use of Select Comfort’s Trademarks by Defendants in the
`
`manner described above falsely designates the origin of the goods of Defendants, and
`
`falsely and misleadingly describes and represents facts with respect to Defendants and the
`
`goods of Defendants.
`
`76.
`
`The Sleep Number®, Select Comfort®, and What’s Your Sleep Number®
`
`trademarks are famous marks as that term is defined in 15 U.S.C. 1125(c)(1).
`
`77.
`
`The unauthorized use of the Sleep Number®, Select Comfort®, and What’s
`
`Your Sleep Number® trademarks by Defendants in the manner described above is likely
`
`to dilute the distinctive quality of Select Comfort’s Trademarks.
`
`78.
`
`The unauthorized use of Select Comfort’s Trademarks by Defendants in the
`
`manner described above unjustly enriches Defendants at Select Comfort’s expense.
`
`79.
`
`The unauthorized use of Select Comfort’s Trademarks by Defendants in the
`
`manner described above removes from Select Comfort the ability to control the nature
`
`and quality of the products provided under those marks and places the valuable reputation
`
`and good will of Select Comfort in the hands of Defendants, and others, over whom
`
`Select Comfort has no control.
`
`80.
`
`The unauthorized use of Select Comfort’s Trademarks by Defendants in the
`
`manner described above is false and misleading.
`
`81.
`
`Select Comfort has, on many occasions, provided notice to Defendants of
`
`the improper use of Select Comfort’s Trademarks and demanded that Defendants cease

`
`the unauthorized uses of the Trademarks. Defendants failed and refused to comply with
`
`Select Comfort’s rightful requests and demands.
`
`82.
`
`In addition, Defendants’ make numerous false, deceptive, misleading
`
`and/or unsubstantiated claims or claims with no objective support to the consuming
`
`public. For example, Defendants have claimed that their beds are “preferred 6 to 1 over
`
`Sleep Number.”
`
`83. Defendants recently changed this claim to state “preferred 6 to 1 over
`
`leading national brand” and “preferred over Sleep Number.”
`
`84. However, Defendants have no independent substantiation or objective
`
`support to make these claims.
`
`85. Defendants’ claims that their beds are “preferred 6 to 1 leading national
`
`brand” or “preferred over Sleep Number” are false, deceptive, or misleading.
`
`86. Defendants also include on their websites statements that purportedly
`
`compare Select Comfort’s products to Defendants’ products.
`
` Many of these
`
`“comparison” statements, however, are deceptive, false, misleading, and/or lack
`
`independent substantiation or objective support.
`
`87. Defendants’ use of such “comparison” statements is false, deceptive, or
`
`misleading.
`
`88.
`
`In addition, Defendants market their air beds using a model lineup naming
`
`convention that mirrors the naming convention used by Select Comfort for its air bed
`
`model lineup in an effort to confuse and mislead consumers as to the difference between
`
`Defendants’ air beds and genuine Sleep Number® air beds.

`
`89. Defendants have also presented health-related testimonials on their
`
`websites and through social media such as Facebook that are deceptive because they lack
`
`independent substantiation or objective support. These testimonials, for example, imply
`
`that Defendants’ products cure or relieve back pain.
`
`90. Defendants’ use of such testimonials is false, deceptive, or misleading.
`
`91. Defendants expect that consumers will rely on Defendants’ false, deceptive,
`
`or misleading representations in purchasing products from Defendants.
`
`92. Consumers do rely, and have relied, on Defendants’ false, deceptive, or
`
`misleading representations in purchasing products from Defendant and have therefore
`
`been misled and harmed by Defendants’ tactics.
`
`93. Defendants’ acts as described above have violated or injured the public’s
`
`and consumers’ ability to make accurate and informed purchasing decisions free from
`
`false, misleading, deceptive, and unfair representations and trade practices.
`
`94. Defendants’ acts as described above have injured Select Comfort by, inter
`
`alia, diverting customers from Select Comfort.
`
`95. Defendants’ false, deceptive, or misleading representations and trade
`
`practices described herein are directed to, and injure, the public at large and Minnesota
`
`consumers.
`
`96. Defendants’ acts complained of herein were and continue to be committed
`
`willfully and intentionally.
`
`97.
`
`Select Comfort has suffered and will continue to suffer monetary damages
`
`as a result of Defendants’ wrongful acts.
