The motion for sanctions under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 brought
21 by Defendant JNC Wheel Collection (JNC) against Plaintiff JAT Wheels, Inc.
22 d/b/a STR Racing (STR) is granted.
23
Rule 11 requires a court to determine (1) whether the complaint is legally or
24 factually baseless from an objective perspective, and (2) if the attorney has
25 conducted a reasonable and competent inquiry before signing and filing it. Holgate
26 v. Baldwin, 425 F.3d 671, 676 (9th Cir. 2005). A complaint is frivolous, and
27 sanctions are justified, if it is both baseless and made without a reasonable and
28
1 competent pre-filing inquiry. Id.; see also View Engg, Inc. v. Robotic Vision Sys.,
2 Inc., 208 F.3d 981, 984 (Fed. Cir. 2000) (applying Ninth Circuit law).
3
The complaint filed by STR contains false statements and frivolous claims.
4 For example, STR falsely states that it owns U.S. Design Patents, and attempts to
5 assert patent infringement based on pending patent applications that have not issued.
6 STR also falsely states that it owns a registered trademark, and improperly claims
7 that it owns the copyrights and ownership rights to certain unidentified photographs.
8
This case is but one of four patent infringement lawsuits that STR has
9 recently filed that are based on pending patent applications, instead of a patent
10 actually issued by the USPTO. STRs pattern of filing frivolous lawsuits based on
11 non-existent patent rights is an abuse of the judicial system. See Eon-Net, 653 F.3d
12 at 1326 (inferring that a patent lawsuit was filed in bad faith and for an improper
13 purpose because the plaintiffs case had indicia of extortion).
14
Counsels legal experience may be considered in determining whether a pre-
15 filing inquiry was reasonable or not. Huettig & Schromm, Inc. v. Landscape
16 Contractors Council of N. Cal., 790 F.2d 1421, 1426 (9th Cir. 1986); see also
17 Phonometrics Inc. v. Econ. Inns of Am., 349 F.3d 1356, 1366 (Fed. Cir. 2003).
18 STRs counsel, Tommy Wang, is a registered patent attorney who claims to have
19 extensive litigation and patent experience. As such, he should have been aware of
20 the fundamental flaws and false statements in STRs Complaint which he signed and
21 filed with this Court.
22
STR has failed to show that it had an objectively reasonable basis for its
23 asserted claims before filing suit, and STRs Complaint is hereby dismissed.
24
JNC is awarded its attorneys fees and costs in connection with this action as
25 a monetary sanction against both STR and its counsel Tommy Wang jointly to stop
26 this abuse of the judicial system. See Business Guides, Inc. v. Chiromatic Commns
27 Enters., Inc., 498 U.S. 533, 111 S. Ct. 922, 933, 112 L. Ed. 2d 1140 (1991); B&H
28 Med., LLC v. ABP Admin., Inc., 526 F.3d 257, 271 (6th Cir. 2008) (both the client
2
1 and the attorneys should have been well aware of the many fundamental
2 weaknesses in its case); Kendrick v. Zanides, 609 F. Supp. 1162, 1173 (N.D. Cal.
3 1985) (both the client and the attorney shared responsibility for litigation strategy);
4 Mercury Air Group, Inc. v. Mansour, 237 F.3d 542, 548 (5th Cir. 2001) (the purpose
5 of Rule 11 is to deter baseless filings, and the award of attorneys fees
6 approximates optimal deterrence); Judin v. United States, 110 F.3d 780, 785 (Fed.
7 Cir. 1997) (suggesting the amount of the reasonable expenses incurred because of
8 the filing of the [complaint], including a reasonable attorneys fee would be an
9 appropriate sanction under Rule 11); View Engg, 208 F.3d at 988 (affirming
10 $97,825.48 in attorneys fees against patentees counsel for failing to conduct a
11 proper pre-filing patent infringement analysis).
12
Within two weeks, JNC shall submit an accounting of its attorneys fees and
13 costs incurred in connection with this action.

14
SO ORDERED.

INTRODUCTION
The Complaint [ECF 1] filed by Plaintiff JAT Wheels, Inc. d/b/a STR Racing
3 (STR) against Defendant JNC Wheels Collection (JNC) is riddled with false
4 statements and frivolous claims.1 For example:
5
STR falsely states that it owns U.S. Design Patents [ECF 1 at 15],
and instead attempts to assert patent infringement based on pending
patent applications that have not issued;
STR falsely states that it owns a registered trademark [ECF 1 at

14];
10
11
STR improperly claims that it owns the copyrights and ownership

rights to [certain] photographs [ECF 1 at 19].
12
Even after being confronted with the many fundamental weaknesses in its
13 case (such as asserting non-existent patents) and the lack of any objectively
14 reasonable basis for its claims under Rule 11 (see Juo Exh. D), STR refused to
15 provide a substantive response (see Juo Exh. E), thereby forcing JNC to prepare this
16 motion for sanctions under Rule 11.
17 II.
STATEMENT OF FACTS
18
A.
19
STR is a distributer of automobile wheels. JNC also is a distributer of
The Parties
20 automobile wheels. Both parties normally sell wheels designed and manufactured
21 by others.
22
On December 9, 2013, a preliminary injunction was entered against STR for
23 selling wheels that infringed the design patent of a third party, Vossen Wheels. See
24 Order for Preliminary Injunction, Vossen Wheels, Inc. v. Toprich (U.S.A.), Inc., No.
25 13-7747 (C.D. Cal. Dec. 9, 2013), ECF No. 29 (see Juo Exh. F).
26
27
28
763006.1
A copy of STR's Complaint against JNC also is attached as Juo Exh. A.

1
But STR may have learned the wrong lesson from its initial experience with
2 patent infringement litigation.

3
On June 24, 2014, STR filed this lawsuit against JNC alleging, among other
4 claims, patent infringement based on pending patent applications rather than on

5 issued patents. [ECF 1]. On that same day, STR filed a lawsuit against Spec-1
6 Racing Wheels, Inc., alleging similar claims of patent infringement based on
7 pending patent applications. Complaint, JAT Wheels, Inc. d/b/a STR Racing v.
8 Spec-1 Racing Wheels, Inc., No. 14-4897 (C.D. Cal. Jun. 24, 2014), ECF No. 1
9 (copy attached as Juo Exh. H). The following week, STR filed two more patent
10 infringement lawsuits based on the pending patent applications. Complaint, JAT
11 Wheels, Inc. d/b/a STR Racing v. DB Motoring Group, Inc., No. 14-5097 (C.D. Cal.
12 Jul. 1, 2014), ECF No. 1 (copy attached as Juo Exh. I); Complaint, JAT Wheels, Inc.
13 d/b/a STR Racing v. Trade Union Intl, Inc., No. 14-5172 (C.D. Cal. Jul. 3, 2014),
14 ECF No. 1 (copy attached as Juo Exh. J). Thus, in the span of a week, STR has filed
15 four patent infringement lawsuits based on patent applications instead of an actual
16 patent.
17
B.
18
STRs Complaint Against JNC Alleging Federal Trademark

Infringement, Patent Infringement, And Copyright Infringement
19
STRs complaint against JNC, alleged a number of claims including patent
20 infringement, trademark infringement, and copyright infringement. [ECF 1].

21
1.
22
STRs Alleged U.S. Design Patents
In paragraph 15 of its Complaint, STR states that it owns U.S. Design
23 Patents. [ECF 1]. This is false. The numbers identified in STRs Complaint are
24 actually the application numbers for patent applications that STR filed with the
25 USPTO about a month before filing its Complaint.2 Juo Decl. at 2. These are not
26
2
They follow the numbering convention for design patent applications (which
currently begin with the numerical series prefix 29) instead of that for an issued
28 design patent (which begin with the letter "D"). Juo Decl. at 2 and 8.
27
763006.1
2
1 issued patents. There are no actual patents identified in or attached to STRs

2 Complaint.3
3
2.
STRs Alleged Registered Trademark
In paragraph 14 of its Complaint, STR states that it owns a registered
5 trademark whose registration number is 86256705. [ECF 1]. This is false. The
6 USPTO has not issued any such trademark registration to STR. The number
7 provided by STR is actual the serial number for a trademark application that
8 STR filed with the USPTO about two months before filing its Complaint. Juo Decl.
9 at 4 and 5; Juo Exhs. B and C. Although a trademark application for STR
10 RACING was filed on April 18, 2014, the records of the U.S. Patent and Trademark
11 Office (USPTO) clearly show that a trademark registration has not been issued.
12 Juo Exhs. B and C. There is no actual trademark registration identified in STRs
13 Complaint. Moreover, STR has refused to provide JNC with copies or samples of
14 the alleged infringement which STR relied upon for its pre-filing investigation for
15 its Complaint.
16
3.
17
STRs Alleged Copyright
In paragraph 19 of its Complaint, STR states that it owns the copyrights to
18 certain photographs, but fails to identify a copyright registration for those

19 photographs. [ECF 1]. Moreover, JNC is unaware of ever using any such
20 photographs whose copyright is owned by STR, and STR has refused to identify any
21 copyright registration, or to provide JNC with copies of the photographs or the
22 alleged infringement, which STR relied upon for its pre-filing investigation of
23 copyright infringement.
24
C.
25
On July 7, 2014, counsel for JNC telephoned counsel for STR to determine
STRs Refusal to Disclose the Pre-Filing Basis For Its Claims
26 the basis for STRs Complaint. Counsel for STR declined to engage in a verbal
27
This also is true of the three other patent infringement lawsuits filed by STR in this
28 district.
763006.1
3
1 discussion and instead requested that JNC send its questions in writing. About an
2 hour later, counsel for JNC sent an email pointing out false statements as well as
3 legally baseless claims in STRs Complaint, and requesting that STR disclose its
4 pre-filing basis for those claims under Rule 11. Juo Exh. D. For example, there is
5 no registered trademark, or any factual basis to assert any trademark infringement or
6 unfair competition; there are no patents, and no legal basis to assert patent
7 infringement based on a patent application; and there is no copyright registration, or
8 any factual basis to assert copyright infringement.
9
However, as previously discussed, STR refused to substantively respond to
10 the questions that it had requested be made in writing. Juo Exh. E.

11 III.
DISCUSSION
12
JNC does not believe that STR has any objectively reasonable legal or factual
13 basis for its claims against JNC. STR has not conducted a competent pre-filing
14 investigation under Rule 11, and certainly has not engaged in good faith discussions
15 with JNC to resolve this matter.
16
A.
17
Rule 11 requires a court to determine (1) whether the complaint is legally or
Legal Standards Under Rule 11
18 factually baseless from an objective perspective, and (2) if the attorney has
19 conducted a reasonable and competent inquiry before signing and filing it. Holgate
20 v. Baldwin, 425 F.3d 671, 676 (9th Cir. 2005). A complaint is frivolous, and
21 sanctions are justified, if it is both baseless and made without a reasonable and
22 competent pre-filing inquiry. Id.; see also View Engg, Inc. v. Robotic Vision Sys.,
23 Inc., 208 F.3d 981, 984 (Fed. Cir. 2000) (applying Ninth Circuit law).
24
While the law of the regional circuit applies to an award of Rule 11 sanctions,
25 courts apply Federal Circuit law to determine the reasonableness of a pre-filing

26 patent infringement investigation made by a party and its attorney. See Q-Pharma,
27 Inc. v. Andrew Jergens Co., 360 F.3d 1295, 1299-1301 (Fed. Cir. 2004); Eon-Net
28 LP v. Flagstar Bancorp., 653 F.3d 1314, 1328 (Fed. Cir. 2011).
763006.1
4
Before filing a patent lawsuit, a competent pre-filing infringement analysis by
2 the lawyer must conclude that there is a reasonable basis for a finding of
3 infringement of at least one claim of each patent so asserted. View Engg., 208
4 F.3d at 984. Counsels legal experience may be considered in determining whether
5 a pre-filing inquiry was reasonable or not. Huettig & Schromm, Inc. v. Landscape
6 Contractors Council of N. Cal., 790 F.2d 1421, 1426 (9th Cir. 1986); see also
7 Phonometrics Inc. v. Econ. Inns of Am., 349 F.3d 1356, 1366 (Fed. Cir. 2003).
8
Furthermore, a reasonable pre-filing inquiry requires that the lawyer seek
9 credible information rather than proceed on mere suspicions or supposition for the
10 claims being asserted in the complaint. Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(b); Cooter & Gell v.
11 Hartmarx Corp., 496 U.S. 384, 401-2, 110 S. Ct. 2447, 2459, 110 L. Ed. 2d 359
12 (1990); Cal. Architectural Bldg. Products, Inc. v. Franciscan Ceramics, Inc., 818
13 F.2d 1466, 1472 (9th Cir. 1987). The complaint must be well-founded with
14 evidentiary support for its factual contentions from an objective prospective. Fed.
15 R. Civ. P. 11(b)(3); Morris v. Wachovia Sec., Inc., 448 F.3d 268, 277 (4th Cir. 2006)
16 (Factual allegations fail to satisfy Rule 11(b)(3) when they are unsupported by any
17 information obtained prior to filing.).
18
19
20
B.
STRs Claims For Patent Infringement Are Frivolous Because STR

Is Asserting Pending Patent Applications Instead of Patents
An invention is not patented merely by filing a patent application. The
21 USPTO does not issue a patent until after it is examined. 35 U.S.C. 131
22 (Examination of application). Patent pending is not the same as patented. 35
23 U.S.C. 292 (False marking). There must be an issued patent before one can
24 assert patent infringement. 35 U.S.C. 271 (Infringement of patent). Without an
25 issued patent, there are no enforceable patent rights.

Case 2:14-cv-04898-JVS-MRW Document 15-2 Filed 08/06/14 Page 10 of 13 Page ID

#:136
This is a fundamental aspect of patent law that every patent attorney knows.
2 Counsel for STR, Tommy Wang,4 is a registered patent attorney, yet he signed
3 STRs Complaint asserting claims of patent infringement based on pending patent
4 applications (while obscuring that fact by falsely referring to them as U.S. Design
5 Patents or Patents in STRs Complaint). With no issued patent, there is utterly
6 no basis for STRs claims of patent infringement. STR has refused to disclose any
7 legal or factual basis to support its frivolous claims of patent infringement based on
8 pending patent applications. Sanctions against STR and its counsel, Tommy Wang,
9 who signed its frivolous Complaint asserting non-existent patents, are appropriate
10 and warranted.

STRs Trademark Claims Are Frivolous

1.
13
STR Falsely Asserts That It Owns A Registered Trademark
In its Complaint, STR falsely states that it owns a registered trademark.
14 [ECF 1 at 14]. In reality, STR has only filed a trademark application which is
15 still pending with the USPTO. There is no registered trademark.
16
STRs Count I asserting claims of federal trademark infringement and
17 trademark counterfeiting under 15 U.S.C. 1114 and 1116, respectively, requires a

18 registered trademark. With no issued trademark registration, there is no basis for
19 these claims. STR has refused to disclose any legal or factual basis to support its
20 claims of trademark infringement and counterfeiting based on a pending trademark
21 application. Because there is no good faith basis for asserting these causes of action,
22 sanctions against STR and its counsel, Tommy Wang, who signed its frivolous
23 Complaint falsely asserting a registered trademark, are appropriate and warranted.
24
25
26
On his law firms website, Mr. Wang touts that he "is a Registered Patent Attorney
who is licensed to practice law in California, the U.S. District Court for the Central
27 District of California, and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office with extensive
experience representing clients in federal and state courts throughout the country."

STR Has Refused To Disclose the Pre-Filing Basis For Its

Other Trademark and Unfair Competition Claims
In view of the frivolous nature of STRs patent claims, and its false statement
4 about owning a registered trademark, JNC demanded that STR disclose the pre5 filing basis for its other trademark and unfair competition claims. This included
6 STRs claims for false designation of origin, federal trademark dilution,5 federal
7 unfair competition, California common law unfair competition, and the Unfair
8 Competition Law (UCL) under California Business and Professions Code
9 17200.6
10
STR, however, has refused to do so. A reasonable inference for STRs
11 refusal is that STR had no objectively reasonable basis for asserting its claims
12 against JNC. Sanctions against STR and its counsel, Tommy Wang, who signed its
13 frivolous Complaint, are appropriate and warranted.
14
D.
15
In its Complaint, STR fails to assert that it owns a copyright registration
STRs Copyright Claim Is Frivolous
16 which is a prerequisite for filing a copyright infringement lawsuit. Petrella v.

17 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Inc., __ U.S. __, 134 S. Ct. 1962, 1977 (2014) (citing 17
18 U.S.C. 408(b), 411(a)).
19
In view of the aforementioned frivolous nature of STRs patent claims and its
20 false statement regarding owning a registered trademark, JNC demanded that STR
21 disclose the pre-filing basis for its copyright infringement claim, such as an
22 identification of the copyright registration, and copies of the photograph in question
23 and the alleged infringement.
24
25
There also appears to be no basis to assert that the STR RACING mark is
26 famous under 15 U.S.C. 1125(c)(2)) (setting forth various factors to consider).

6
A UCL claim under Section 17200 requires an unlawful business act or practice,
27 namely a business practice that violates another law. Cel-Tech Comms. & Cel-
Comms., Inc. v. Los Angeles Cellular Tel. Co., 20 Cal.4th 163, 180 (1999). There
28 appears to be no basis for STRs allegations that JNC has violated any law.
763006.1
7

#:138
Because STR has refused to do so, a reasonable inference is that STR had no
2 objectively reasonable basis for its claims against JNC, so sanctions against STR
3 and its counsel, Tommy Wang, who signed its frivolous Complaint improperly
4 asserting copyright infringement, are appropriate and warranted.

E.
An Appropriate Sanction Is To Dismiss STRs Complaint, And

Award JNC Its Fees And Expenses
This case is but one of four patent infringement lawsuits that STR has
8 recently filed that are based on pending patent applications, instead of a patent
9 actually issued by the USPTO. STRs pattern of filing frivolous lawsuits based on
10 false and non-existent patent rights is an abuse of the judicial system which has the
11 indicia of extortion. See Eon-Net, 653 F.3d at 1326 (inferring that a patent lawsuit
12 was filed in bad faith and for an improper purpose because the plaintiffs case had
13 indicia of extortion).
14
The Court should dismiss STRs Complaint under Rule 41(b) because of
15 STRs failure to comply with Rule 11.

16
Furthermore, an award of attorneys fees and expenses is appropriate when an
17 attorney has failed to make a reasonable investigation of the facts and the law before
18 filing a complaint. Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(c)(2); see also Mercury Air Group, Inc. v.
19 Mansour, 237 F.3d 542, 548 (5th Cir. 2001) (the purpose of Rule 11 is to deter
20 baseless filings, and the award of attorneys fees approximates optimal
21 deterrence); Judin v. United States, 110 F.3d 780, 785 (Fed. Cir. 1997) (suggesting
22 the amount of the reasonable expenses incurred because of the filing of the
23 [complaint], including a reasonable attorneys fee would be an appropriate sanction
24 under Rule 11); View Engg, 208 F.3d at 988 (affirming $97,825.48 in attorneys
25 fees against patentees counsel for failing to conduct a proper pre-filing patent
26 infringement analysis). As previously discussed, STR has refused to disclose any
27 information regarding whether its pre-filing investigation was competent or not.
28
763006.1

#:139
A monetary sanction should be levied against both STR and its counsel to
2 stop this abuse of the judicial system. See Business Guides, Inc. v. Chiromatic
3 Commns Enters., Inc., 498 U.S. 533, 111 S. Ct. 922, 933, 112 L. Ed. 2d 1140
4 (1991); B&H Med., LLC v. ABP Admin., Inc., 526 F.3d 257, 271 (6th Cir. 2008)
5 (both the client and the attorneys should have been well aware of the many
6 fundamental weaknesses in its case); Kendrick v. Zanides, 609 F. Supp. 1162, 1173
7 (N.D. Cal. 1985) (both the client and the attorney shared responsibility for litigation
8 strategy).
9
Should the Court award JNC its attorneys fees and costs, JNC requests two
10 weeks in which to prepare and submit an accounting of its attorneys fees and costs
11 incurred in connection with this litigation.
12 IV.
CONCLUSION
13
This is a frivolous lawsuit that should never have been brought. From all
14 indications, STR has failed to conduct a competent pre-filing analysis before filing
15 suit. JNC attempted to dissuade STR from its reckless and damaging course, but to
16 no avail. STRs Complaint should be dismissed, and JNC is entitled to an award of
17 its attorneys fees and expenses.

DECLARATION OF JAMES JUO IN SUPPORT OF DEFENDANTS MOTION UNDER RULE 11 AGAINST PLAINTIFFS COMPLAINT
I, James Juo, hereby declare as follows:
1.
I am a registered patent attorney with the law firm of Fulwider Patton
3 LLP, and I am duly licensed to practice law in the state of California. I represent
4 Defendant JNC Wheel Collection in the above-identified matter. Unless otherwise
5 indicated, I have personal knowledge of the facts stated herein, and, if called as a
6 witness, could and would testify to the following matters.
7
2.
Attached as Exhibit A is a copy of the Complaint filed by STR in this
8 action on June 24, 2014. The Exhibits A, C, E, G, and I attached to STRs

9 Complaint are not design patents, but are filing receipts for design patent
10 applications filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in late
11 May 2014. For example, the numbering convention for design patents is to begin
12 the patent number with a letter prefix, namely the letter D. The numbers
13 identified in STRs Complaint, however, all begin with the number 29 which is
14 the current two-digit series prefix for design patent applications. The patent
15 infringement claims in STRs Complaint are not based on actual patents.
16
3.
Attached as Exhibit B is a printed record from the Trademark
17 Electronic Search System (TESS) maintained by the USPTO for U.S. trademark
18 application serial no. 86256705 filed on April 18, 2014, for the STR RACING mark.
19 STRs Complaint states that STR owns a registered trademark and that the STR
20 Trademark registration number is 86256705. This is not a trademark registration
21 number, but instead appears to be a trademark application serial number, and there
22 is no indication that the USPTO has issued a trademark registration for this
23 application.
24
4.
Attached as Exhibit C is a printed record from the Trademark Status &
25 Document Retrieval (TSDR) system maintained by the USPTO for U.S. trademark
26 application serial no. 86256705 filed on April 18, 2014. There is no indication that
27 the USPTO has issued a trademark registration for this application. Instead, under
28 Status, the TSDR record states, New application will be assigned to an
1 examining attorney approximately 3 months after filing date. Thus, application

2 serial no. 86256705 is not expected to even be assigned to an trademark examiner
3 for examination until mid-July 2014.
4
5.
Attached as Exhibit D is a copy of an email dated July 7, 2014 from
5 myself as counsel for JNC, to Tommy Wang, counsel for plaintiff JAT Wheels, Inc.
6 d/b/a STR Racing. This email was sent about an hour after a telephone conversation
7 with Mr. Wang in which I had identified myself as counsel for Defendant JNC, and
8 questioned Mr. Wang about the basis for the claims in STRs Complaint. Mr. Wang
9 requested that I send him something in writing rather than engage in a verbal
10 discussion. This July 7 email attached as Exhibit D is a copy of that writing
11 requested by Mr. Wang.
12
6.
Attached as Exhibit E is a copy of an email dated July 8, 2014 from
13 Tommy Wang, counsel for STR, to me as counsel for JNC. In this July 8 email, Mr.
14 Wang declined to address the substance of the issues raised in the email that he had
15 requested from me.
16
7.
Attached as Exhibit F is a copy of an Order for Preliminary Injunction
17 issued against STR in Vossen Wheels, Inc. v. Toprich (U.S.A.), Inc., No. 13-7747, by
18 Judge Audrey B. Collins of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of
19 California on December 9, 2013.
20
8.
Attached as Exhibit G is a copy of U.S. Design Patent No. D681,541
21 which was the patent-in-suit in Vossen Wheels, Inc. v. Toprich (U.S.A.), Inc. The
22 numbering convention for design patents is to begin the patent number with a letter
23 prefix, namely the letter D. Also, as shown on the face of the design patent, the
24 application number for a design patent application begins with a two-digit numerical
25 series prefix. For U.S. Design Patent No. D681,541, its application had 29 as its
26 series prefix.

9.
Attached as Exhibit H is a copy of a Complaint filed by STR in JAT
2 Wheels, Inc. d/b/a STR Racing v. Spec-1 Racing Wheels, Inc., No. 14-4897 in the
3 U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on June 24, 2014.

Attached as Exhibit I is a copy of a Complaint filed by STR in JAT
5 Wheels, Inc. d/b/a STR Racing v. DB Motoring Group, Inc., No. 14-5097 in the U.S.
6 District Court for the Central District of California on July 1, 2014.

Attached as Exhibit J is a copy of a Complaint filed by STR in JAT
8 Wheels, Inc. d/b/a STR Racing v. Trade Union Intl, Inc., No. 14-5172 in the U.S.
9 District Court for the Central District of California July 3, 2014.
10
12.
Attached as Exhibit K is a biographical profile of Tommy Wang
11 printed from the Yang & Wang website at http://www.yangwanglaw.com/tommy12 ZDQJ. The first paragraph of his profile states he is a Registered Patent Attorney
13 who is licensed to practice law in California, the U.S. District Court for the Central
14 District of California, and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office with extensive
15 experience representing clients in federal and state courts throughout the country.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and

EXHIBIT A
Page 1 of 69

Plaintiff, JAT WHEELS, Inc. a California Corporation, dba STR Racing
(hereinafter Plaintiff), hereby files this Complaint against Defendant JNC
WHEEL COLLECTION (hereinafter Defendant), and DOES 1 to 10, and alleges
as follows:
INTRODUCTION
1. Plaintiff files this action to combat the willful sale of unlicensed and
counterfeit products (hereinafter Infringing Products) bearing the
Plaintiffs exclusive Trademark and utilizing the Plaintiffs exclusive
design patents, and unauthorized use of Plaintiffs copyrighted
10
photographs. The Defendant is a corporation specializing in the research,
11
manufacture and sales of aftermarket automobile wheels.
12

18
question) and 28 U.S.C. 1338(a) (action arising under an Act of
19
Congress relating to patents or trademarks).
20
4. The Court has personal jurisdiction over Defendant since Defendant has
21
committed acts of trademark infringement and unfair competition in this
22
district and/or Defendant has sufficient minimum contacts with this

EXHIBIT A
Page 2 of 69

sold products that infringe Plaintiffs Trademark rights to consumers
within this judicial district, knowing or having reason to know that
consumers, including those within this judicial district, would purchase
said goods from Defendant, believing that they were authentic goods
produced by and/or associated with Plaintiff or its authorized licensees.
5. Further, this Court has jurisdiction over Plaintiffs California state
statutory and common law claims pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1367.
6. Supplemental jurisdiction exists over Defendant because on information
and belief, Defendant conducts business in California and in this judicial
10
district, has purposefully availed itself to California and in this judicial
11
district, or has otherwise availed itself of the privileges and protections of
12
the law of the State of California, such that this Courts assertion of
13
jurisdiction over Defendant does not offend traditional notions of fair play
14
and due process.
15
7. Venue is proper within the Central District of California pursuant to 28
16
U.S.C. 1391(b) and 1400(a) because on information and belief, a

18
occurred in this judicial district, and has caused damages to Plaintiff in
19
this district.
20
21
THE PARTIES

10. The true names and capacities, whether individual, corporate, associate or
otherwise, of Defendants herein named DOES 1-10, inclusive are
unknown to Plaintiff. Plaintiff therefore sues said Defendants by such
fictitious names. When the true names and capacities of said Defendants
have been ascertained, Plaintiff will amend this pleading accordingly.
10
11. Plaintiff further alleges that Defendant and DOES 1-10, inclusive sued
11
herein by fictitious names are jointly, severally and concurrently liable
12
and responsible with the named Defendant upon the causes of action
13
hereinafter set forth.
14
12. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that at all times
15
mentioned herein Defendant, and DOES 1-10, inclusive, and each of

FACTS
19
20
21
13. Plaintiff owns the exclusive rights to numerous patents, copyrighted and
trademarked properties.
22
14. Plaintiff owns and holds the exclusive rights, title, and interest to market
23

24
or Trademark). Plaintiff registered its trademark on April 18, 2014 with
25
26
4
EXHIBIT A
Page 4 of 69

the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The STR Trademark
registration number is 86256705.
15. Plaintiff is the owner of all right, title and interest in the following U.S.
Design Patents: 1) Application No. 29,492,155 (the 155 patent); 2)
Application No. 29,492,156 (the 156 patent); 3) Application No.
29,492,157 (the 157 patent); 4) Application No. 29,492,158 (the 158
patent); and 5) Application No. 29,492,159 (the 159 patent),
(collectively, the Design Patents).
16. As a result of Defendants unlawful infringement of the Plaintiffs
10
Design Patents, Plaintiff has suffered and will continue to suffer damages.

on Plaintiffs Design Patents. Some of these parts also bore Plaintiffs
16
STR Trademark.
17
18. Defendant uses the STR Trademark in connection with its aftermarket
18
automobile parts that are in direct competition with Plaintiffs aftermarket
19
automobile parts. Defendant has used Plaintiffs trademark in its

19. In or around May 2014, Plaintiff published photographs to its website
24
displaying its aftermarket automobile parts. Plaintiff owns the copyrights
25
and ownership rights to these photographs.

EXHIBIT A
Page 5 of 69

20. Without Plaintiffs consent, Defendant sporadically, but consistently, used
Plaintiffs copyrighted images to promote and sell the Infringing Products
on Defendants website.
21. Defendants infringing activities have caused damages to Plaintiff by
causing customer confusion as to the source of the STR Trademark. In
addition, Defendants use of the aforementioned Design Patent and STR
Trademark has and continues to dilute Plaintiffs goodwill in its products
and business that it has invested significant time and resources.
22. On information and belief, Defendants infringement of one or more of
10
the Plaintiffs Patents is willful and deliberate, therefore entitling Plaintiff
11
to enhanced damages and reasonable attorney fees and costs.
12
23. On information and belief, Defendant intends to continue their unlawful
13
infringing activity, and Plaintiff continues to and will continue to suffer
14
irreparable harmfor which there is no adequate remedy at lawunless
15
Defendant is enjoined by this Court.
16
COUNT I- FEDERAL TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT AND
17
TRADEMARK COUNTERFEITING
18
24. Plaintiff repeats and re-alleges, as set forth herein, the allegations
19

6
EXHIBIT A
Page 6 of 69

26. Plaintiff, and/or those under its authority, manufactures, sells, and
distributes all of its advertising and products in conformity with the
provisions of the United States Trademark law.
27. Despite having actual and constructive notice of the Plaintiff and/or its
licensors federal registration rights, prior common law and statutory
rights to the STR Trademark, Defendant has adopted and used the STR
Trademark in conjunction with the sale of merchandise in the State of
California and interstate commerce.
28. Defendant has distributed, sold, or offered for sale merchandise
10
displaying Plaintiffs Trademark without Plaintiffs authorization.
11
Defendants distribution, sale, or offer for sale of merchandise bearing
12
Plaintiffs Trademark in California and interstate commerce has and will
13
cause the likelihood of confusion, deception, and mistake in that
14
consumers will conclude that the products sold by the Defendant are
15
authorized, sponsored, approved, or associated with the Plaintiff.
16
29. Defendants use in commerce of Plaintiffs Trademark in conjunction
17
with the sale of merchandise is an infringement of Plaintiffs registered
18
STR Trademark in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1114(1).
19
30. Defendant committed the acts alleged herein intentionally, fraudulently,
20
maliciously, willfully, wantonly, and oppressively with the intent to injure
21
the Plaintiff and its business.
22
31. The Plaintiff has suffered damages as a result of the Defendants acts.
23
32. The Infringing Products bearing the Plaintiffs Trademark that the
24
Defendants manufactured, sold, distributed, or offered for sale constitutes
25
a counterfeit product pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1116(d).

7
EXHIBIT A
Page 7 of 69

33. Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1117, Plaintiff is entitled to recovery of (1)
Defendants profits; (2) Plaintiffs damages, including lost profits; and (3)
costs of the action. Plaintiff is further entitled to trebled damages above
the amount of actual damages in a sum of not more than three times the
amount of actual damages. Defendants intentional and deceitful actions
make this a case in which the Plaintiff is entitled to an award of attorneys
fees.
8
9
34. By reason of the aforementioned acts by Defendant, Plaintiff has suffered

and will continue to suffer irreparable damage, in an amount to be
10
determined, and damages will continue unless and until enjoined by Order
11
of this Court.
12
COUNT II- FALSE DESIGNATION OF ORIGIN [15 U.S.C.
13
1125(a)/Lanham Act 43(a)]
14
15
contained in paragraphs 1 through 34 and brings the following claim for
16
false designation of origin pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1125(a) and the
17
Lanham Act 43(a) against the Defendant.
18
36. Defendant has used Plaintiffs registered STR Trademark in commerce in
19
connection with its own goods, where use is likely to cause confusion, or
20
to cause mistake, or to deceive as to the origin, sponsorship, association or
21
approval of such goods.
22
37. By utilizing the Plaintiffs Trademark in its advertising for, and in
23
connection with its products, Defendant has misrepresented and falsely
24
described to the general public the origin and the source of the products
25
26
8
EXHIBIT A
Page 8 of 69

offered for sale. Further, it creates a likelihood of confusion, mistake or
deception to the ultimate purchaser as to the source of the products.
38. For example, Defendant markets, conducts business, and publicly
represents that the STR Trademark is associated or connected to the
Defendants business thereby creating a false designation of origin of
Plaintiffs brand of goods and services.
39. The confusion, mistake, or deception referred to herein arises out of the
aforementioned acts of Defendant and the acts of the Defendant constitute
false designation of origin and unfair competition in violation of 15
10
11
U.S.C. 1125(a) and Section 43(a) of the Lanham Act.

40. Upon information and belief, the aforesaid acts of the Defendant were
12
undertaken willfully with the intention of causing confusion, mistake or
13
deception. Plaintiff is entitled, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1117, to recovery
14
of: (1) Defendants profits; (2) Plaintiffs damages, including lost profits;
15
and (3) costs of the action. Plaintiff is further entitled to treble damages
16
above the amount of actual damages in a sum not more than three times
17
the amount of actual damages. Defendants intentional and deceitful
18
actions make this a case in which the Plaintiff is entitled to an award of
19
attorneys fees.

23
Order of this Court.

COUNT III- FEDERAL TRADEMARK DILUTION [15 U.S.C. 1125(c)]
42. Plaintiff repeats and re-alleges, as if set forth herein, the allegations
trademark dilution pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1125(c) against the Defendant.
43. Plaintiffs registered Trademark is distinctive, well known and famous.
44. Defendant is diluting the distinctiveness of Plaintiffs Trademark by
marketing and selling inferior goods bearing marks virtually identical or
confusingly similar to Plaintiffs registered Trademark. Upon information
and belief, Defendant has engaged in the conduct alleged in these claims,
10
willfully intending to trade on Plaintiffs reputation and/or to cause
11
dilution of the reputable and distinctive Trademark owned by Plaintiff.
12
45. Defendant markets, conducts business, and publicly represents that the
13
Trademark is associated or connected to the Defendants business thereby
14
creating a false designation of origin of Plaintiffs brand of goods and
15
services. Thus, Defendants acts violate 15 U.S.C. 1125(c).
16
46. As a direct and proximate result of Defendants trademark dilution,
17
Plaintiff has and will continue to suffer damages to its business, reputation
18
and good will, and the loss of royalties and profits that Plaintiff would
19
have made but for Defendants acts. Upon information and belief,
20
Defendants acts of infringement have also resulted in substantial profits
21
for the Defendant. The amount of these damages will be proven at trial.

COUNT VI-FEDERAL UNFAIR COMPETITION [15 U.S.C. 1125(a)]
11
12
unfair competition pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1125(a) against the Defendant.
13
85. As a direct result of the Plaintiffs longstanding use, sales, advertising,
14
and marketing, Plaintiffs Trademark has acquired a secondary and
15
distinctive meaning among the public who have come to identify
16
Plaintiffs Trademark with the Plaintiff and its respective products.
17
86. Plaintiff is informed and believes that thereon alleges that as early as May
18
of 2014, Defendant has infringed Plaintiffs Trademark rights by
19
marketing and selling goods bearing marks virtually identical or
20
confusingly similar to the recognized and distinctive registered
21
Trademark, owned by Plaintiff.
22
87. The Infringing Products and related merchandise that the Defendant has
23
sold and distributed duplicates and appropriates Plaintiffs Trademark and
24
deludes and confuses the public into believing that the Plaintiff approved,
25
26
17
EXHIBIT A
Page 17 of 69

#:161
authorized, or sponsored the products and related merchandise sold,
offered for sale, or distributed by the Defendant.
88. Defendant, by misappropriating and using the likenesses of Plaintiffs
Trademark in connection with the sale of products and related
merchandise, is misrepresenting and will continue to misrepresent and
falsely describe to the general public the origin and sponsorship of their
products. Defendant has caused such products to enter into interstate
commerce willfully with full knowledge of the falsity of the designation
of their origin and description and representation in an effort to mislead
10
the purchasing public into believing that their products are authorized or
11
emanate from the Plaintiff.
12
89. Defendants actions, as alleged herein, were and are likely to deceive the
13
consuming public and therefore constitute unfair and fraudulent business
14
practices in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1125(a).
15
90. Defendants unlawful, unfair, and fraudulent business practices described
16
above present a continuing threat to members of the public in that they are
17
likely to be deceived by the origin and quality of Plaintiffs products.
18
91. Upon information and belief, Defendants acts of unfair competition have
19
resulted in substantial profits for the Defendant in an amount to be
20
determined. Defendants acts of unfair competition have also resulted in
21
damages to Plaintiff by causing a diversion of sales from Plaintiff to
22
Defendant, lost royalties and other damages resulting from irreparable
23
harm to Plaintiffs goodwill. The exact amount of Plaintiffs damages is to
24
be determined.
25
92. Plaintiff has also incurred costs and attorneys fees to bring this action.

10
11

97. Defendant has distributed and sold Infringing Products displaying the
12
Trademark of the Plaintiff in California, thereby creating a false
13
designation of origin of Plaintiffs brand of goods and unfairly competing
14
with Plaintiffs business.
15
98. Upon information and belief, Defendant has knowingly and willfully
16
misappropriated Plaintiffs Trademark in an effort to create the impression
17
that the Defendants counterfeit products are sanctioned by the Plaintiff
18
and to misappropriate the goodwill associated with Plaintiffs Trademark,
19
entitling Plaintiff to an award of exemplary damages and attorneys fees.
20
21
22
99. The aforesaid acts of the Defendant have caused damage to Plaintiff, in
an amount to be determined.
100.
By reason of the acts of the Defendants alleged herein, Plaintiff has

James,
Please be advised that I will not be replying to your emails with a point-by-point rebuttal. Both emails
contain so many factual inaccuracies and unrelated issues that attempting to address each one would
be an inefficient use of my firms time and our clients money.
From your emails, it appears that you represent JNC Wheels Collection, even though you never
confirm that in writing. If this is not correct, please let me know.
Again, as indicated in our letter to JNC Wheels Collection, we are willing to dismiss this case on the
following conditions:
1.
JNC Wheels Collection must stop selling the STR 513 immediately.
2.
JNC Wheels Collection must hand over all remaining inventory of the STR 513 to us or
provide proof that they destroyed them.
3.
JNC Wheels Collection must stop referring to, or designating themselves as an authorized
STR manufacturer, seller, or dealer.
4.
JNC Wheels Collection, from here on out, must not infringe on any other patents JAT currently
holds or will hold in the future.
5.
JNC Wheels Collection must pay for the cost of litigation, attorneys fees, damages, and
anything else that JAT is monetarily entitled to.
We have yet to formally effectuate service of process of JNC. Please advise if you are willing
to accept service on their behalf by July 11, 2014.
The foregoing is written for purposes of comprise and settlement, and is covered by Federal
Rule of Evidence 408. Additionally, nothing herein shall limit or be constructed to limit any position,
right, or claim that our client may have, all of which are expressly reserved.
Regards,
EXHIBIT E

Tommy,
Following up on my earlier email, please note that before filing a patent lawsuit, Rule 11 requires a competent
pre-filing infringement analysis by a lawyer to find a reasonable basis for a finding of infringement of at least
one claim of each patent so asserted. View Eng'g., 208 F.3d at 984. Furthermore, a reasonable pre-filing
inquiry requires that the lawyer seek credible information rather than proceed on mere suspicions or supposition
for the claims being asserted in the complaint. Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(b); Cooter & Gell v. Hartmarx Corp., 496
U.S. 384, 401-2, 110 S. Ct. 2447, 2459, 110 L. Ed. 2d 359 (1990); Cal. Architectural Bldg. Products, Inc. v.
Franciscan Ceramics, Inc., 818 F.2d 1466, 1472 (9th Cir. 1987). The complaint must be well-founded with
evidentiary support for its factual contentions from an objective prospective. Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(b)(3); Morris v.
Wachovia Sec., Inc., 448 F.3d 268, 277 (4th Cir. 2006) (Factual allegations fail to satisfy Rule 11(b)(3) when
they are unsupported by any information obtained prior to filing.).
In addition to my prior inquiry as to whether JAT is asserting any issued patents for its patent infringement
claims (since no issued patents are identified in the complaint), please let me know if you inspected any of the
actual accused products as part of your pre-filing infringement analysis (and, if so, please identify those
products).

Tommy,
Following up our earlier telephone conversation (in which I was immediately transferred from you to
your associate Andrew, and then back to you again), there are severe deficiencies in the complaint JAT
filed against JNC.
The complaint was not clear on what trademark rights were being asserted. Andrew confirmed that
the STR RACING work mark is the only trademark being asserted by JAT in this litigation. Please
confirm that is correct.
The complaint asserts that Plaintiff registered its trademark on April 18, 2014, the STR Trademark
registration number is 86256705, and JNC infringed Plaintiffs registered STR Trademark in violation
of 15 U.S.C. 1114(1). Those are false statements. Although a trademark application for STR
RACING was filed on April 18, 2014, the USPTO has not issued a trademark registration. You have no
basis to assert federal trademark infringement and trademark counterfeiting under the Lanham Act
which require a registered trademark.
To the extent you are asserting unregistered rights under a different statute, please identify the specific
factual and legal basis for your claim. The complaint only makes general allegations against JNC.
During our short telephone conversation, Andrew asserted that JNC used the STR RACING mark on the
JNC website and on its Facebook page. I am unaware of any such use. Please provide me with the Rule
11 factual basis, including any screenshots, to support your assertion that JNC has infringed the STR
RACING mark.
The complaint also asserts dilution, but there appears to be no basis to assert that the STR RACING
mark is famous as required by the Lanham Act . Please provide me with the Rule 11 factual basis for
your assertion that the STR RACING mark is famous (i.e., widely recognized by the general
consuming public under 15 U.S.C. 1125(c)(2)).
The complaint also asserts copyright infringement of an unidentified photograph, but provides no
identification or sample of the alleged work. Nor does the complaint assert that JAT has obtained a
copyright registration (which is a prerequisite for filing suit). Petrella v. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Inc.,
134 S. Ct. 1962, 1977 (2014) (citing 17 U.S.C. 408(b), 411(a)). Again, you appear to have no basis
to assert copyright infringement. Please provide me with the Rule 11 factual basis for your assertion
that JNC has infringed any copyright.
EXHIBIT E
Page 3 of 5

The complaint further alleges patent infringement, but there is no basis for that assertion. 35 U.S.C.
271. The complaint does not identify any issued patent. The complaint identifies several pending
design patent applications, and during our telephone conversation, you suggested that a patent
application could be a basis for patent infringement under the AIA. We believe your statement is
unsupported by law or fact. You have no legal or factual basis to assert patent infringement. If you
have any legal authority to support your position, please provide it immediately.
We further note that a UCL claim under Section 17200 requires an unlawful business act or practice,
namely a business practice that violates another law. Cel-Tech Comms. & Cel-Comms., Inc. v. Los
Angeles Cellular Telephone Co., 20 Cal.4th 163, 180 (1999). As already discussed, there appears to be
no basis for JATs allegations that JNC has violated any law.
If we do not receive a satisfactory response from you, we will proceed to move under Rule 11 for
attorneys fees against you. An immediate dismissal of JATs complaint would be deemed a satisfactory
response.

11
12
unfair competition pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1125(a) against the Defendant.
13
85. As a direct result of the Plaintiffs longstanding use, sales, advertising,

Plaintiffs Trademark with the Plaintiff and its respective products.

88. Defendant, by misappropriating and using the likenesses of Plaintiffs
Trademark in connection with the sale of products and related
merchandise, is misrepresenting and will continue to misrepresent and
falsely describe to the general public the origin and sponsorship of their

commerce willfully with full knowledge of the falsity of the designation
of their origin and description and representation in an effort to mislead
10
the purchasing public into believing that their products are authorized or
11
emanate from the Plaintiff.
12
89. Defendants actions, as alleged herein, were and are likely to deceive the
13
consuming public and therefore constitute unfair and fraudulent business
14
practices in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1125(a).

16
above present a continuing threat to members of the public in that they are

resulted in substantial profits for the Defendant in an amount to be
20
determined. Defendants acts of unfair competition have also resulted in
