12. EHP is in the business of selling nutritional supplements and accessories. In
particular, EHP sells and offers for sale, inter alia, EHP Shaker Cups that embody at least
claim 15 of the '032 Patent and allow users to perform the methods claimed in at least
claim 18 of the '032 Patent (the "Accused Products").
13. The Accused Products also embody the claimed design of the '235 Design
Patent.
14. EHP markets, describes, encourages, and instructs its customers to use the
Accused Products to mix ingredients in such a way as to perform the claimed methods of
the '032 Patent.
15. Use of any of EHP's Accused Products infringes the '032 Patent.
16. The Accused Products have no substantial non-infringing uses.
17. The design of the Accused Products are substantially the same as the design
that is the subject matter of the '235 Design Patent.
18. Furthermore, the design of the Accused Products is so similar to the design
that is the subject matter of the '235 Design Patent that customers are likely to be
deceived and persuaded to buy the Accused Products thinking they are actually buying
products protected by the '235 Design Patent.
19. EHP has had pre-suit knowledge of the Asserted Patents since at least March
10, 2014.

21. Along with this cease and desist letter, Sundesa mailed EHP a courtesy draft
copy of this Complaint and copies of the Asserted Patents.

induce others to infringe the '032 Patent.

Products has been both willful and deliberate.
33. EHP's acts of infringement have caused damage to Sundesa, and Sundesa is
entitled to recover the damages sustained as a result of EHP's wrongful acts in an amount
subject to proof at trial. EHP's infringement of Sundesa's rights under the '032 Patent

of 35 U.S.C. 271.
38. Sundesa has sustained damages and will continue to sustain damages as a
result of EHP's aforementioned acts of infringement.
39. Sundesa is entitled to recover damages sustained as a result of EHP's
wrongful acts in an amount to be proven at trial.
40. EHP's infringement of Sundesa's rights under the '235 Design Patent will
