    PARTIES

    2.  Plaintiff Restoration Hardware, Inc. is a Delaware corporation whose

     principal place of business is located at 15 Koch Road, Corte Madera, California

    94925. Prior to January 30, 2015, Restoration Hardware, Inc. was the owner o

    United States Design Patents D663,967 (the “D’967 Patent”) and D663,966 (the

    “D’966 Patent) (together, the “RH Patents”). True and accurate copies of the RH

    Patents are attached hereto as Exhibit A. On January 30, 2015, Restoration

    Hardware, Inc. assigned all right, title, and interest in and to the RH Patents to

    Plaintiff RH US, LLC, which granted a license back to Restoration Hardware, Inc..

    3.  Plaintiff RH US, LLC is a Delaware limited liability company whose

     principal place of business is located at 15 Koch Road, Corte Madera, California

    94925.

    4. 

    Defendant Chicago Wicker & Trading Company is an Illinois

    corporation whose principal place of business is located at 5625 W. 115th Street

    Suite B, Alsip, Illinois, 60603. Upon information and belief, Defendant conducts

     business under a variety of names, including, without limitation, “Forever Patio,”

    “Chicago Wicker – NCI,” “Northcape International,” “Northcape Outdoor,” and

    “Northcape.”

    JURISDICTION AND VENUE

    5. 

    This Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this action pursuant to

    28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1338 because this action involves claims for paten

    infringement in violation of 35 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. 

    6. 

    This Court has personal jurisdiction over Defendant because Defendan purposefully, willfully, and/or intentionally infringed upon RH’s design patents and

    trademarks by using RH’s patented designs and trademarks with the knowledge tha

    RH is located in California and that RH would likely suffer injury or harm resulting

    from the infringement in California. Indeed, Defendant continued its infringing

    conduct despite notice from RH. Upon information and belief, Defendant conducts

    Relevant Description: FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a lounge showing my new

    design.

    14.  Together, the D’967 Patent and the D’966 Patent are referred to herein

    as the “RH Patents.” 

    15. 

    RH sells furniture products embodying the designs set forth in the RH

    Patents as part of its “Provence” collection.

    16. 

    In addition to the foregoing, RH is the owner of United States

    Tramemark Registration No. 4,231,598 for the PROVENCE mark for use in

    connection with, “Furniture, namely, chaise lounges, sofas, loveseats, lounge chairs

    arm chairs, side chairs, ottomans, coffee tables, side tables, dining tables, console

    tables, cushions.” RH’s federal registration for the PROVENCE mark is valid and

    subsisting.

    17. 

    Upon information and belief, Defendant owns and operates a web

     based furniture manufacturing business based in Illinois with facilities in California

    Florida, New Jersey, and Ontario, Canada, , that sells goods to retailers and

    customers across the United States.

    18. 

    In or about February, 2015, RH learned that Defendant is advertising

    and selling, through the http://www.www.foreverpatio.com  website and, upon

    information and belief, other websites and distribution channels, a sofa, lounge

    chair, loveseat, and sectional sofa components as part of its “Bayside” collection tha

    each include designs that are nearly identical to the design of RH’s sofa and lounge

    chair set forth in the RH Patents.

    19. 

    For instance, a side-by-side comparison of RH’s sofa and lounge chairand Defendant’s sofa and lounge chair shows that Defendant’s designs are

    substantially the same as RH’s:

    RH has also learned that Defendant is advertising and selling, through

    the http://www.northcapeinternational.com  website, and upon information and

     belief, other websites and distribution channels, a sofa, lounge chair, loveseat, and

    sectional sofa components as part of its “Geneva” collection that each include

    designs that are nearly identical to the design of RH’s sofa and lounge chair set forth

    in the RH Patents.

    21.  For instance, a side-by-side comparison of RH’s sofa and lounge chair

    and Defendant’s sofa and lounge chair shows that Defendant’s designs are

    substantially the same as RH’s:

    RH’s Patented Design Defendant’s Infringing Products

    Provence Sofa  Geneva Sofa

    Provence Lounge Chair Geneva Lounge Chair

    22. 

    The design of Defendant’s sofa, lounge chair, loveseat, and sectional

    sofa components and the design of RH’s Provence sofa and lounge are so similar

    that it is highly unlikely that Defendant adopted its designs without prior knowledge

    of the Provence designs set forth in the RH Patents.

    23.  Upon information and belief and despite RH’s demands, Defendant has

    continued to manufacture, use, offer to sell, sell, and/or import into the United

    States, furniture products that infringe upon the designs set forth in the RH Patents

    including sales to consumers and to numerous retailers.

    24. 

    In addition to the foregoing, RH has learned that Defendant has adopted

    the “Provance” designation for a line of outdoor furniture, known as “The Provance

    Collection,” that Defendant advertises on its website

    http://www.northcapeinternational.com/collections/the-provance-collection  and

    upon information and belief, other websites as well. A screenshot of the webpage i

    37.  RH has been using the PROVENCE trademark in commerce in

    connection with the advertising and sale of furniture products since at least as early

    as April, 2010. RH’s use of the PROVENCE mark in commerce predate

    Defendants use of the confusingly similar “Provance” mark.

    38. 

    Given RH’s longstanding use of its PROVENCE mark in commerce in

    connection with furniture products including sofas and lounge chairs, Defendant’s

    use of the confusingly similar “Provance” mark in connection with furniture

     products, including sofas, lounge chairs, and loveseats, constitutes a reproduction

    copying, counterfeit, and/or colorable imitation of RH’s PROVENCE mark in a

    manner that is likely to cause confusion or mistake or is likely to deceive consumers

    39.  Defendants’ unlawful use of RH’s PROVENCE mark in commerce has

    at all times, been willful, deliberate, and intentional. Defendant’s use of RH’

    PROVENCE mark in commerce was designed to usurp and wrongfully trade off of

    the substantial investment and goodwill RH has developed in its PROVENCE mark.

    40. 

    Defendant’s unlawful use of RH’s PROVENCE mark in commerce

    constitutes trademark infringement in violation of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. §

    1114.

    41.  As a direct and proximate result of Defendant’s conduct, RH has

    suffered, and will continue to suffer, monetary loss and irreparable injury to its

     business, reputation, and goodwill.

    COUNT IV

    (Unfair Competition

    under the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125)

    42. 

    RH incorporates the allegations in the foregoing paragraphs as thoughfully set forth herein.

    43. 

    Defendant is selling, and/or offering to sell, furniture in commerce

    including, without limitation, sofas, chairs, and loveseats using the designation

    “Provance,”– a designation that is confusingly similar to RH’s federally registered

    PROVENCE mark.

    44. 

    Defendant’s use of the confusingly similar “Provance” designation is a

    false designation of origin which is likely to cause confusion, to cause mistake, or to

    deceive consumers as to the existence of an affiliation, connection or association

     between Defendant and RH, and/or is likely to cause confusion, to cause mistake, or

    to deceive consumers as to the origin, sponsorship, or approval of Defendant’s

    furniture products by RH.

    45.  Defendant’s use of the confusingly similar “Provance” designation in

    commerce has, at all times, been willful, deliberate, and intentional. The

    Defendant’s use of the confusingly similar “Provance” designation in commerce was

    designed to usurp and wrongfully trade off of the substantial investment and

    goodwill RH has developed in its PROVENCE mark.

    46.  Defendant’s use of the confusingly similar “Provance” mark in

    commerce constitutes unfair competition in violation of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C

    § 1125(a), in that Defendant has used in connection with goods a false designation

    of origin, a false or misleading description and representation of fact which is likely

    to cause confusion, and to cause mistake, and to deceive as to the affiliation

    connection, or association of Defendant with RH and as to the origin, sponsorship

    and approval of Defendant’s furniture products and commercial activities by RH.

    47.  As a direct and proximate result of Defendant’s conduct, RH has

    suffered, and will continue to suffer, monetary loss and irreparable injury to its

     business, reputation, and goodwill.

    PRAYER FOR RELIEF

    WHEREFORE, RH requests that the Court enter:A.  A preliminary and permanent injunction prohibiting Defendant and its

    officers, agents, servants, and those persons in active concert or participation with

    them from directly or indirectly infringing RH’s rights in the RH Patents, including

    without limitation, Defendant’s manufacturers, suppliers, and retailers;

    B.
