Case 3:15-cv-01423-D Document 1 Filed 05/06/15 Page 2 of 13 PageID 2 JURISDICTION AND VENUE 4. The Court has subject matter jurisdiction under 28 1331 and 1338, as well as 15 U.S.C. 1 121, in that Big Red is pursuing several causes of action against Defendant under the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. ?1051, er seq. in addition, the court has subject matter jurisdiction over the claims brought herein under 28 1332 because there is diversity of citizenship and Big Red seeks damages of more than $75,000.00. The Court has supplemental jurisdiction over Big Red?s state-law claims under 28 1367. 5. The Court has personal jurisdiction over Defendant because Defendant has maintained minimum contacts with the State of Texas sufficient to subject it to personal jurisdiction consistent with due process under the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Defendant has purposefully availed itself of the benefits and protections of Texas by establishing minimum contacts with Texas, and the Court?s exercise of personal jurisdiction over Defendant does not offend traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice.

Venue is proper in the Dallas Division of the Northern District of Texas under 28 U.S.C. 1391(b)( l) and because a substantial part ofthe events or omissions giving rise to Plaintiffs? claims occurred within the Dallas Division of the Northern District of Texas, and because the claims asserted by Plaintiffs arise through Defendant?s trademark infringement in this Division and this District. Ix.) Case 3:15-cv-01423-D Document 1 Filed 05/06/15 Page 3 of 13 PageID 3 FACTS 7. Big Red is the sixth-largest soft drink company in the United States, best known For its iconic cream soda of the same name. The beloved beverage is sold in 40 states and Shipped to American military bases in Kuwait and Iraq. Big Red has achieved this success primarily through careful development and marking of its trademarks and trade dress over the course of seventy?eight years. 8. The ?agship soda was created in 1937, when two inventors combined red food coloring with lemon, orange, and vanilla flavors. resulting in an indescribably sweet liquid which has been famously described as ?red like the color of a speeding ?re engine." This new soft? drink was immediately popular and regularly identi?ed by its arbitrary and distinctive red color. Sometime in the 19503, consumers gave it a nickname: ?big red.? 9. Big Red saw this initial product recognition as a critical opportunity to create an American staple. In 1957, Big Red capitalized on this opportunity by developing the original BIG RED 10. For the next fifty-eight years, Big Red strengthened its emerging brand by BIG RED mark: A. The Big Red Marks expending signi?cant resources to develop, market, and protect distinctive trademarks that carefully expand upon the original design. Lo) Case 3:15-cv-Ol423-D Document 1 Filed 05/06/15 Page 4 of 13 PageID 4 11. Big Red applied for trademark protection for the BIG RED mark in 1957. Since then, Big Red has expended signi?cant resources to deve10p, market, and protect this iconic mark. It has been prominently displayed on product packaging and advertisements for nearly sixty years. Big Red owns the following registered trademarks: BIG RED 691351 1/12/1960 Syrups for carbonated beverages BIG RED 1628540 12/18/1990 Soft drinks 12. The A true and correct copy of Registration No. 691351 (?Big Red Syrup Registration?) is attached as Exhibit A. A true and correct copy of Registration No. 1628540 (?Big Red Soft Drink Registration?) is attached as Exhibit B. Big Red currently owns all active BIG RED trademark registrations. 13. The BIG RED mark used in relation to soft drinks (the RED Word Mark?) was registered on the Principal Register on December 18, 1990. See Big Red Soft Drink Registration, page 2 (?Dec. 18, 1990 REGISTERED PRINCIPAL It was in continuous and exclusive use for ?ve years, after which Big Red?s predecessor submitted an af?davit of on September 17, 1999. See Big Red Soft Drink Registration, page 2 17, 1996 - SEC. 15 In acceptance of Big Red?s predecessor?s compliance with the statutory requirements for incontestability as set forth in 15 .S.C. 1065, the United States Trademark and Patent Office acknowledged the BIG RED Word Mark?s incontestable status on September 17, 1996. See Big Red Soft Drink Registration, page 2 15 Big Red has not suffered a linal adverse decision as to its ownership or claim to ownership of the BIG RED Word Mark. Id. There is no proceeding involving Big Red?s rights to the BIG RED Word Case 3:15-cv-Ol423-D Document 1 Filed 05/06/15 Page 5 of 13 PageID 5 Mark in either the United States Patent and Trademark Of?ce or a competent court. The BIG RED Word Mark is thus valid and incontestable pursuant to 15 .S.C. 1065. 14. This ineontestable mark appears on all bottles and all advertising, serving as a centerpiece for Big Red's product packaging by tying together the visual elements into a consistent and immediately recognizable BIG RED Trade Dress. B. The BIG RED Trade Dress 15. For decades. Big Red has marketed its bottled BIG RED Soda in consistent product packaging, which is unilied by a central configuration: Two single?syllable words, are featured prominently on the center of a label and positioned between stylized text or small accents. The label is then imposed on a clear, wide shouldered bottle with a tapered neck that angles smoothly towards the collar. 16. This central design was conceived, developed, and marketed for the purpose of connecting the Big Red marks with the ?agship soda. 17. The Retro BIG RED Trade Dress uses the BIG RED Word Mark as it appeared in the 70?s to create a nostalgic vintage soda shop impression: I - I I if.? fr11.4 ?(gkk? . . .L-z "it 151i avg-Marng I 1' Case 3:15-cv-01423-D Document 1 Filed 05/06/15 Page 6 of 13 PageID 6 18. The BIG RED Splash Trade Dress, featuring liquid droplets and the BIG RED Word Mark in large, light?colored font outlined in black, appears in supermarkets and convenience stores: C. Public Recognition of the BIG RED Word Mark and the BIG RED Trade Dress 19. Big Red has spent signi?cant resources to develop and promote the BIG RED Word Mark to ensure that consumers may easily identify Big Red?s superior beverage. Big Red has also spent signi?cant resources to develop and promote the BIG RED Splash 'l?rade Dress and the BIG RED Retro Trade Dress (collectively, the RED 'l?rade Dress?). As a result of these extensive marketing efforts, Big Red?s products are readily identi?ed by the BIG RED Word Mark and BIG RED Trade Dress. 20. Every year. millions of beverages are packaged in the unique BIG RED Trade Dress and are distributed throughout the United States, creating significant consumer goodwill and trust in the trade dress as a source indicator. 21. This longstanding and continuous use has led consumers to recognize a product bearing the BIG RED Word Mark, or packaged in the BIG RED Trade Dress, to mean that the product is connected to Big Red. Case 3:15-cv-01423-D Document 1 Filed 05/06/15 Page 7 of 13 PageID 7 Defendant?s Infringing Activities 22. Defendant sells a cream soda product (the ?Accused Product") under the Big Ben word mark (the ?Accused Word Mark?), which is substantially similar to the incontestable BIG RED Word Mark. The Accused Product is arti?cially colored to an identical shade of red to match BIG RED Soda?s iconic red, and is marketed in product packaging that is nearly identical to the BIG RED Trade Dress (the ?Accused Trade Dress?). 23. The striking similarity between Defendant?s Accused Product, Accused Word Mark, and Accused Trade Dress and BIG RED Soda are especially apparent when viewed in close proximity: 24. Upon information and belief, Defendant distributes this product across the United States, and within the Northern District of Texas. 25. Big Red has twice noti?ed Defendant of Big Red?s rights under the Lanham Act. Despite Big Red?s attempts to resolve this matter amicably, Big Red has persisted in its infringement of Big Red?s federally protected trademark rights. E. Effect of Defendant?s Activities 26. Defendant?s unauthorized use of the Accused Marks and Accused Trade Dress is likely to cause confusion, to cause mistake, and/or to deceive customers and potential customers Case 3:15-cv-01423-D Document 1 Filed 05/06/15 Page 8 of 13 PageID 8 of the parties at least as to some af?liation, connection, or association of Defendant with Big Red, or as to the origin, Sponsorship, or approval of Defendant?s products with Big Red. 27. Defendant?s unauthorized use of the Accused Word Mark and Accused 'l?rade Dress falsely designates the origin of its products, and falsely and misleadingly represents facts with respect to Defendant and its products. 28. Defendant?s unauthorized use of the Accused Marks and Accused Trade Dress enables Defendant to trade on and receive the bene?t of goodwill built up at the cost of great expense and effort by Big Red over many years, and allows Defendant to gain consumer approval of its products on the reputation and customer goodwill associated with BIG RED Soda. 29. Defendant?s unauthorized use of the Accused Marks and Accused 'l?rade Dress allows Defendant to obtain bene?t from Big Red by taking undue advantage of the significant consumer goodwill in the BIG RED marks, BIG RED Word Mark, and/or the BIG RED Trade Dress which are owned by Big Red. Defendant has thus taken unfair advantage of Big Red by trading on and pro?tng from Big Red?s valuable goodwill, resulting in Defendant wrongfully obtaining monetary and reputational benefit for its own business and products. 30. Defendant?s unauthorized use of the Accused Marks is likely to cause dilution of the famous BIG RED marks, the BIG RED Word Mark, and/or the BIG RED Trade Dress 31. Defendant?s unauthorized use of the Accused Marks and Accused Trade Dress removes Big Red?s ability to control the nature and quality of products provided under and/or associated with the BIG RED marks, the BIG RED Word Mark, and/or the BIG RED Trade Dress, conferring upon Defendant significant control over Big Red?s valuable reputation and goodwill. Case 3:15-cv-01423-D Document 1 Filed 05/06/15 Page 9 of 13 PageID 9 32. Delendant?s unauthorized use of the Accused Marks and Accused 'l?rade Dress also subjects the public to the risk of mistakenly consuming a product that they did not expect to consume. 33. Unless Defendant?s unauthorized conduct is restrained by this Court. Defendant will continue to cause irreparable injury to Big Red and to the public for which there is no adequate remedy at law.
