Plaintiff, Gucci America, Inc., (Plaintiff or Gucci) hereby sues Defendants, the

28 U.S.C. 1367 over Plaintiffs state law claims because those claims are so related to the
federal claims that they form part of the same case or controversy.
2. Defendants are subject to personal jurisdiction in this judicial district because theydirect business activities toward and conduct business with consumers within the State of Florida
and this judicial district through at least the fully interactive Internet websites operating under the
Subject Domain Names.
3. Venue is proper in this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1391 since Defendants are,upon information and belief, aliens who engage in infringing activities and cause harm within
this judicial district. Defendants have also advertised and upon information and belief, have
made sales and shipped infringing products into this judicial district.
THE PLAINTIFF
4. Gucci is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of New York with itsprincipal place of business located at 685 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10022. Gucci
operates boutiques throughout the world, including within this Judicial District. Gucci is, in part,
engaged in the business of manufacturing and distributing throughout the world, including within
this Judicial District, a variety of high quality luxury goods, including, but not limited to,
handbags, wallets, shoulder bags, duffel bags, cosmetic cases, shoes, belts, sunglasses, watches,
jewelry, and hats, under multiple world famous common law and Federally registered
trademarks, including those identified in Paragraph 17 below. Gucci offers for sale and sells its
trademarked goods within this Judicial District. Defendants sales of counterfeit and infringing
Gucci branded products are causing damage to Gucci within this jurisdiction. Gucci regularly
enforces its intellectual property rights and authorized that this action be brought in its name.

5. Like many other famous trademark owners, Gucci suffers ongoing daily andsustained violations of its trademark rights at the hands of counterfeiters and infringers, such as
Defendants herein, who wrongfully reproduce and counterfeit Guccis trademarks for the twin
purposes of (i) duping and confusing the consuming public and (ii) earning substantial profits.
6. In order to combat the indivisible harm caused by the combined actions ofDefendants and others engaging in similar conduct, each year Gucci expends significant amounts
of money in connection with trademark enforcement efforts, including legal fees, investigative
fees, and support mechanisms for law enforcement, such as field training guides and seminars.
The recent explosion of counterfeiting over the Internet has created an environment which
requires companies, such as Gucci, to file a large number of lawsuits, often it later turns out,
against the same individuals and groups in order to protect both consumers and itself from the ill
effects of confusion and the erosion of the goodwill connected to the Gucci brand. The financial
burden on Gucci and companies similarly situated is staggering, as is the resulting burden on the
Federal court system.
THE DEFENDANTS
7. Defendants are partnerships and unincorporated business associations whichoperate through domain names registered with registrars in multiple countries and are comprised
of individuals and/or business entities of unknown makeup, all of whom, upon information and
belief, reside in the Peoples Republic of China or other foreign jurisdictions with lax trademark
enforcement systems. Defendants have the capacity to be sued pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 17(b). Defendants conduct pervasive business throughout the United States, including
within this judicial district through the operation of fully interactive commercial websites

existing under the Subject Domain Names. The domain names names used by Defendants are
set forth on Schedule A hereto.
8. Upon information and belief, Defendant galaxyayhandbags.com uses the aliasesidentified on Schedule A hereto in conjunction with the operation of its business.
9. Gucci is presently unaware of the true names of Does 1-1,000, although they aregenerally identified as the owners, operators, partners, managing agents and/or co-conspirators of
Defendant partnerships or unincorporated associations operating under the Subject Domain
Names. Gucci will amend this Complaint upon discovery of the identities of such fictitious
Defendants.
10. Defendants are part of an ongoing conspiracy to create and maintain an illegalmarketplace enterprise on the World Wide Web, the purposes of which are to (i) confuse
consumers regarding the source of the Defendants goods for profit, and (ii) expand the
marketplace for illegal, counterfeit Gucci branded goods while shrinking the legitimate
marketplace for genuine Gucci goods. The natural and intended byproduct of Defendants
actions is the erosion and destruction of the overall marketplace in which Gucci operates and the
goodwill associated with Guccis famous name and associated trademarks.
11. Defendants are the past and present moving and conscious forces behind theoperation of the commercial Internet websites operating under the Subject Domain Names.
12. Upon information and belief, Defendants directly engage in unfair competitionwith Gucci by (i) offering for sale and selling goods bearing counterfeits and infringements of
Guccis trademarks to consumers within the United States and this judicial district through
multiple fully interactive commercial websites operating under the Subject Domain Names and
additional domain names not yet known to Gucci and (ii) creating and maintaining an illegal

5
marketplace enterprise for the purpose of diverting business from Guccis legitimate marketplace
for its genuine goods. Defendants have purposefully directed some portion of their illegal
activities towards consumers in the State of Florida through the advertisement, offer to sell, sale,
and shipment of counterfeit branded goods into the State, and by operating an illegal marketplace
enterprise which impacts and interferes with commerce throughout the United States, including
within the State of Florida.
13. Defendants have registered, established or purchased, and maintained the SubjectDomain Names. Upon information and belief, Defendants have engaged in fraudulent conduct
with respect to the registration of the Subject Domain Names by providing false and/or
misleading information to their various Registrars during the Registration or maintenance
process. Upon information and belief, Defendants have anonymously registered and maintained
some of the Subject Domain Names for the sole purpose of engaging in illegal counterfeiting
activities.
14. Upon information and belief, Defendants will continue to register or acquire newdomain names for the purpose of selling and/or offering for sale goods bearing counterfeit and
confusingly similar imitations of Guccis trademarks unless preliminarily and permanently
enjoined. Moreover, upon information and belief, Defendants and their coconspirators will
continue to maintain and grow their illegal marketplace enterprise at Guccis expense unless
preliminarily and permanently enjoined.
15. Defendants entire Internet-based website businesses and associated marketplaceamount to nothing more than illegal operations established and operated in order to infringe the
intellectual property rights of Gucci and others.

The Gucci Marks are used in connection with the manufacture and distribution of quality
goods in the categories identified above.
18. The Gucci Marks have been used in interstate commerce to identify anddistinguish Gucci's high quality goods for an extended period of time and serve as symbols of
Guccis quality, reputation, and goodwill.
19. Further, Gucci has expended substantial time, money and other resourcesdeveloping, advertising and otherwise promoting the Gucci Marks.
20. The Gucci Marks qualify as famous marks as that term is used in 15 U.S.C.1125(c)(1).

21. Gucci has extensively used, advertised, and promoted the Gucci Marks in theUnited States in association with the sale of high quality luxury products.
22. The Gucci Marks have achieved secondary meaning as identifiers of high qualityluxury goods as a result of Guccis advertisement, promotion, and sale of such goods thereunder.
23. As a result of Guccis efforts, members of the consuming public readily identifymerchandise bearing the Gucci Marks as being high quality merchandise sponsored and
approved by Gucci.
24. Gucci has carefully monitored and policed the use of the Gucci Marks and hasnever assigned or licensed the Gucci Marks to any of the Defendants in this matter.
25. Genuine goods bearing the Gucci Marks are widely legitimately advertised andpromoted by Gucci and unrelated third parties via the Internet. Over the course of the past five
to seven years, visibility on the Internet, particularly via Internet search engines such as Google,
Yahoo!, and Bing has become increasingly important to Guccis overall marketing and consumer
education efforts. Thus, Gucci expends significant monetary resources on Internet marketing and
consumer education, including search engine optimization (SEO) strategies. Those strategies
allow Gucci to fairly and legitimately educate consumers about the value associated with the
Gucci Marks and the goods sold thereunder.
COMMON FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS
Defendants Infringing Acts
26. Upon information and belief, Defendants are promoting and advertising,distributing, selling and/or offering for sale goods in interstate commerce that bear counterfeit
and confusingly similar imitations of the Gucci Marks, including, without limitation, handbags,
wallets, shoulder bags, duffel bags, cosmetic cases, shoes, belts, sunglasses, watches, jewelry,

and infringements of the Gucci Marks. Specifically, the Defendants are using counterfeits of
Guccis famous name and the Gucci Marks in order to make their websites selling illegal goods
appear more relevant and attractive to search engines across an array of search terms. By their
actions, Defendants have created an illegal marketplace operating in parallel to the legitimate
marketplace for genuine Gucci goods. Defendants are causing concurrent and indivisible harm to
Gucci and the consuming public by (i) depriving Gucci of its right to fairly compete for space
within search engine results and reducing the visibility of Guccis genuine goods on the World
Wide Web, (ii) causing an overall degradation of the value of the goodwill associated with the
Gucci Marks and, (iii) increasing Guccis overall cost to market its goods and educate consumers
about its brand via the Internet, and (iv) maintaining an illegal marketplace enterprise which
perpetuates the ability of Defendants and future entrants to that marketplace to confuse
consumers and harm Gucci with impunity.
30. Upon information and belief, Defendants are concurrently targeting theircounterfeiting and infringing activities toward consumers and causing harm within this judicial
district and elsewhere throughout the United States. As a result, Defendants are defrauding Gucci
and the consuming public for Defendants own benefit.
31. Upon information and belief, at all times relevant hereto, Defendants in this actionhad full knowledge of Guccis ownership of the Gucci Marks, including its exclusive right to use
and license such intellectual property and the goodwill associated therewith.
32. Defendants use of the Gucci Marks, including the promotion and advertisement,reproduction, distribution, sale, and offering for sale of Defendants Goods, is without Guccis
consent or authorization.

33. Defendants are engaging in the above-described illegal counterfeiting andinfringing activities knowingly and intentionally or with reckless disregard or willful blindness to
Guccis rights for the purpose of trading on Guccis goodwill and reputation. If Defendants
intentional counterfeiting and infringing activities are not preliminarily and permanently
enjoined by this Court, Gucci and the consuming public will continue to be harmed.
34. Defendants above identified infringing activities are likely to cause confusion,deception, and mistake in the minds of consumers, the public, and the trade before, during, and
after the time of purchase. Moreover, Defendants wrongful conduct is likely to create a false
impression and deceive customers, the public, and the trade into believing there is a connection
or association between Gucci and Defendants Counterfeit Goods, which there is not.
35. Further, upon information and belief, Defendant galaxyayhandbags.com hasregistered at least seventeen (17) of the Subject Domain Names, using marks which are nearly
identical and/or confusingly similar to at least one of the Gucci Marks (collectively the
Infringing Subject Domain Names). The Infringing Subject Domain Names are set forth on
Schedule B hereto.
36. Defendants do not have, nor have they ever had, the right or authority to use theGucci Marks. Further, the Gucci Marks have never been assigned or licensed to be used on any
of the websites operating under the Infringing Subject Domain Names.
37. Upon information and belief, Defendants have provided false and/or misleadingcontact information when applying for the registration of the Infringing Subject Domain Names,
or have intentionally failed to maintain accurate contact information with respect to the
registration of the Infringing Subject Domain Names.

38. Upon information and belief, Defendants have never used any of the InfringingSubject Domain Names in connection with a bona fide offering of goods or services.
39. Upon information and belief, Defendants have not made any bona fide non-commercial or fair use of the Gucci Marks on a website accessible under any of the Infringing
Subject Domain Names.
40. Upon information and belief, Defendants have intentionally incorporated theGucci Marks in their domain names to divert consumers looking for Guccis Internet website to
their own Internet websites for commercial gain.
41.
Upon information and belief, each Defendant knows of and has intentionally
joined the alleged civil conspiracy and has engaged in overt tortious acts intended to further the
conspiracy. Upon information and belief, the agreement to engage in the alleged civil conspiracy
is express between some of Defendants and may be properly inferred as to some Defendants
based upon the nature of their actions, the relationship between them and their mutual interests in
creating an illegal marketplace for counterfeit branded goods.
42. Given the visibility of Defendants various websites and the similarity of theiractions, including their SEO activities, it is clear Defendants cannot help but know of each
others existence and intend to participate in the conspiracy to destroy Guccis legitimate
marketplace through the maintenance and furtherance of their illegal marketplace using the
World Wide Web.
43. Although some of the Defendants may be acting independently, they mayproperly be deemed to be acting in concert because they are combining the force of their actions
to multiply the harm caused to Gucci.
44. Gucci has no adequate remedy at law.

45. Gucci is suffering irreparable and indivisible injury and harm as a result ofDefendants unauthorized and wrongful use of the Gucci Marks. If Defendants counterfeiting,
infringing, cybersquatting, unfairly competitive activities, and their illegal marketplace enterprise
are not preliminarily and permanently enjoined by this Court, Gucci and the consuming public
will continue to be harmed.
46. The injury and harm sustained by Gucci has been directly and proximately causedby Defendants wrongful reproduction, use, advertisement, promotion, offers to sell, and sale of
their Counterfeit Goods, and by the creation, maintenance, and very existence of the Defendants
illegal marketplace enterprise.
COUNT I - TRADEMARK COUNTERFEITING AND INFRINGEMENT
47. Gucci hereby adopts and re-alleges the allegations set forth in Paragraphs 1through 46 above.
48. This is an action for trademark counterfeiting and infringement againstDefendants based on their use of counterfeits and confusingly similar imitations of the Gucci
Marks in commerce in connection with the promotion, advertisement, distribution, sale and/or
offering for sale of the Counterfeit Goods.
49. Defendants are promoting and otherwise advertising, selling, offering for sale,and distributing at least handbags, wallets, shoulder bags, duffel bags, cosmetic cases, shoes,
belts, sunglasses, watches, jewelry, and hats using counterfeits and infringements of one or more
of the Gucci Marks. Defendants are continuously infringing and inducing others to infringe the

wallets, shoulder bags, duffel bags, cosmetic cases, shoes, belts, sunglasses, watches, jewelry,
and hats.

bags, duffel bags, cosmetic cases, shoes, belts, sunglasses, watches, jewelry, and hats.

being advertised and sold by them are genuine, non-infringing goods.
59.
Additionally, Defendants are using counterfeits and infringements of the Gucci
Marks in order to unfairly compete with Gucci and others for space within search engine organic
results, thereby jointly depriving Gucci of a valuable marketing and educational tool, which
would otherwise be available to Gucci, and reducing the visibility of Guccis genuine goods on
the World Wide Web.
60. Defendants above-described actions are in violation of Section 43(a) of theLanham Act, 15 U.S.C. 1125(a).
