`
`Case 1:11-cv-21900-XXXX Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 05/25/2011 Page 3 of 6
`
`
`
`14.
`
`Plaintiff has built extensive goodwill in connection with the ACID marks for
`
`
`
`tobacco products.
`
`15.
`
`Prior to November 24, 2009, a representative from Fantasia met with Joseph
`
`Tgkejgpdcej."Ftgy"GuvcvgÓu"etgcvkxg"fktector. The ACID brand and the possibility of a line of
`
`ACID shisha products was discussed during this meeting. The Fantasia representative recognized
`
`the strength of the ACID brand and the compatibility of the ACID brand with a shisha tobacco
`
`product. The Fantasia representative left Mr. Reichenbach with samples of Fantasia hookah
`
`products.
`
`16.
`
`Fantasia, in its application for registration of the mark SURFER ON ACID claims
`
`to have first used the mark on November 24, 2009. In its application, Serial No. 85/206,113, filed
`
`on December 27, 2010, Fantasia claims to have by that date used the mark on Hookah tobacco;
`
`Molasses tobacco; Smoking tobacco; Tobacco.
`
`17.
`
`On or about March 24, 2011, Drew Estate demanded in writing that Fantasia
`
`terminate use of the term ACID as a name or mark or part of a name or mark. Fantasia refused to
`
`cease and desist from the conduct complained of by letter dated April 7, 2011.
`
`18.
`
`As of the date of this filing, Fantasia continues to sell, offer to sell, advertise, and
`
`market tobacco products, at least shisha tobacco, under the mark SURFER ON ACID.
`
`19.
`
`Fantasia is not authorized or permitted to sell, offer to sell, advertise or market
`
`tobacco products using the ACID mark.
`
`UNFAIR COMPETITION IN VIOLATION OF 15 U.S.C. § 1125(A)
`
`This is a claim for unfair competition in the nature of trademark infringement in
`
`20.
`
`violation of 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a).

`

`
`ACID marks, and is likely cause confusion, or to cause mistake, or to deceive as to its affiliation

`
`24.
`
`The goods of Fantasia are closely related to the goods of Drew Estate sold under
`
`the ACID marks, in that the goods of both are tobacco products.
`
`25.
`
`Cigar products and shisha and other tobacco products are sold and promoted
`
`through overlapping trade channels and purchased by the same and overlapping classes of
`
`purchasers. Examples of the overlapping trade channels are attached as Exhibit C.

`
`Estate has expanded its tobacco offerings to include shisha tobacco.
`
`27.
`
`Customers would expect shisha and other forms of tobacco, including cigars, to
`
`come from the same and related sources. Examples of such use of the same mark on cigars and
`
`other tobacco products are attached as Exhibit D.

`
`
`
`
`
`28.
`
`Fantasia itself has in fact demonstrated the relatedness between cigars and shisha

`
`Fantasia representative noted the compatibility of the ACID cigar brand with shisha tobacco.
`
`29.
`
`HcpvcukcÓu continued use of the SURFER ON ACID mark in connection with its
`
`tobacco product is likely to cause and is causing Drew Estate substantial and irreparable injury,
`
`depriving Drew Estate of its right to determine the manner in which the ACID marks are
`
`represented to the general public through merchandising and marketing of tobacco products.
`
`30.
`
`Fantasia was aware of the strength of the ACID mark and the relatedness of cigars
`
`cpf"ujkujc"vqdceeq"rtkqt"vq"kvu"wug"qh"vjg"UWTHGT"QP"CEKF"octm0""HcpvcukcÓu"ugngevkqp"cpd
`
`continued use of the ACID mark as a component of a mark in connection with tobacco products
`
`is in bad faith, willful and intentional.
`
`31.
`
`Drew Estate has no adequate remedy at law.
`
`PRAYER FOR RELIEF

`
`
`WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Drew Estate Holding Company LLC respectfully requests that

`
`INSTRUCTIONS FOR ATTORNEYS COMPLETING CIVIL COVER SHEET FORM JS 44
`
`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 required for the use
`of the Clerk of Court for the purpose of initiating the civil docket sheet. Consequently, a civil cover sheet is submitted to the Clerk of Court for each civil complaint
`filed. The attorney filing a case should complete the form as follows:
`
`(a) Plaintiffs-Defendants. Enter names (last, first, middle initial) of plaintiff and defendant. If the plaintiff or defendant is a government agency, use only
`I.
`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.
`
`(b) 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 condemnation cases,
`the county of residence of the “defendant” is the location of the tract of land involved.)
`
`(c) Attorneys. Enter the firm name, address, telephone number, and attorney of record. If there are several attorneys, list them on an attachment, noting
`in this section “(see attachment)”.
`
` (d) Choose one County where Action Arose.
`
`Jurisdiction. The basis of jurisdiction is set forth under Rule 8(a), F.R.C.P., which requires that jurisdictions be shown in pleadings. Place an “X” in one
` II.
`of the boxes. If there is more than one basis of jurisdiction, precedence is given in the order shown below.
`
`United States plaintiff. (1) Jurisdiction based on 28 U.S.C. 1345 and 1348. Suits by agencies and officers of the United States are included here.
`
`United States defendant. (2) When the plaintiff is suing the United States, its officers or agencies, place an “X” in this box.
`
`Federal question. (3) This refers to suits under 28 U.S.C. 1331, where jurisdiction arises under the Constitution of the United States, an amendment 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; 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.
`
`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
`IV.
`to enable the deputy clerk or the statistical clerks 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 seven 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. When the petition
`for removal is granted, check this box.
`
`Refiled (3) Attach copy of Order for Dismissal of Previous case. Also complete VI.
`
`Reinstated or Reopened. (4) Check this box for cases reinstated or reopened in the district court. Use the reopening date as the filing date.
`
`Transferred from Another District. (5) For cases transferred under Title 28 U.S.C. Section 1404(a). Do not use this for within district transfers or multidistrict
`litigation transfers.
`
`Multidistrict Litigation. (6) Check this box when a multidistrict case is transferred into the district under authority of Title 28 U.S.C. Section 1407. When this box
`is checked, do not check (5) above.
`
`Appeal to District Judge from Magistrate Judgment. (7) Check this box for an appeal from a magistrate judge’s decision.
`
`Related/Refiled Cases. This section of the JS 44 is used to reference related pending cases or re-filed cases. Insert the docket numbers and the corresponding
`VI.
`judges name for such cases.
`
`VII. Cause of Action. Report the civil statute directly related to the cause of action and give a brief description of the cause. Do not cite jurisdictional statutes
`unless diversity.
`Example:
`U.S. Civil Statute: 47 USC 553
`Brief Description: Unauthorized reception of cable service
`
`VIII. Requested in Complaint. Class Action. Place an “X” in this box if you are filing a class action under Rule 23, F.R.Cv.P.
`
`Demand. In this space enter the dollar amount (in thousands of dollars) being demanded or indicate other demand such as a preliminary injunction.
`
`Jury Demand. Check the appropriate box to indicate whether or not a jury is being demanded.
`
`Date and Attorney Signature. Date and sign the civil cover sheet.
