JURISDICTION
3.

This Court has subject matter jurisdiction by way of federal question jurisdiction

because this is a patent infringement lawsuit arising under the United States Patent Act, 35
U.S.C. 1 et seq. See 28 U.S.C. 1331 & 1338(a).
4.

This Court has personal jurisdiction over Abbyson, a nonresident, because

Abbyson has established minimum contacts with the State of Texas, and the exercise of
jurisdiction over Abbyson does not offend traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice,
as Abbyson does business, and has committed the acts of patent infringement alleged herein, in
the State of Texas, including this judicial district. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE 17.042
(Texas Long-Arm Statute); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(k)(1)(A) ([s]erving a summons
establishes personal jurisdiction over a defendant who is subject to the jurisdiction of a court
of general jurisdiction in the state where the district court is located). In particular, and upon
information and belief: (a) Abbysons infringing products are offered for sale, sold, and/or
distributed, and continue to be offered for sale, sold, and/or distributed, in the State of Texas,
including this judicial district, by or through intermediaries, including through online sales and
delivery services via the internet, including via the Sams Club website; (b) Abbysons
customers and/or potential customers of the infringing products reside in the State of Texas,
including in this judicial district; and (c) Abbyson targets its infringing activities towards
customers, and/or potential customers who reside in the State of Texas, including in this judicial
district.
5.

Upon information and belief, Defendants have the same registered agent.

Abbyson may be served with process as provided under FED. R. CIV. P. 4(c), 4(e)(1), and 4(h)(1),
as effected pursuant to TEX. R. CIV. P. 106(a)(2) and 108 being the state law for serving a
summons upon non-residents in an action brought in the courts of general jurisdiction in the state
PLAINTIFFS ORIGINAL COMPLAINT PAGE 2

Case 2:16-cv-01290-JRG-RSP Document 1 Filed 11/22/16 Page 3 of 12 PageID #: 3

where the district court is located, by U.S. certified mail, return receipt requested to the last
known residence, usual place of business or registered office of Defendants, including via their
registered agent: Robert E. Wynner, 31248 Oak Crest Drive Suite 100, Westlake Village,
California 91361-5671. The foregoing name and address of Defendants registered agent is
derived from information registered with the California Secretary of State.
6.

Additionally and/or alternatively, Abbyson may be served with process as

provided under FED. R. CIV. P. 4(c), 4(e)(1) and 4(h)(1), as effected pursuant to the Texas LongArm Statute being the state law for serving a summons in an action brought in the courts of
general jurisdiction in the state where the district court is located, through the Texas Secretary of
State, 1019 Brazos Street, Austin, Travis County, Texas 78701, which shall forward process to
Defendants principal place of business and registered office at 26500 Agoura Road, Suite 102875, Calabasas, California 91302-1952, Attn: Robert E. Wynner, Registered Agent . TEX. CIV.
PRAC. & REM. CODE 17.044(a)-(b), 17.045(a); see TEX. R. CIV. P. 106(a)(2), 108. The Texas
Secretary of State serves as Abbysons agent for service of process because Abbyson, a nonresident, has engaged in business in Texas from which this lawsuit arises, but has not designated
or maintained a resident agent for service of process in Texas and/or does not maintain a regular
place of business in Texas. The foregoing address of Defendants principal place of business and
registered office is derived from information registered with the California Secretary of State.
VENUE
7.

Venue is proper in this judicial district because a substantial part of the events or

omissions giving rise to the claims occurred, or a substantial part of the property that is the
subject of the action is situated, in this judicial district.

See 28 U.S.C. 1391(b)(2) &

1391(c)(2). Venue is also proper in this judicial district because, as alleged herein, Defendants
have committed acts of patent infringement in this judicial district, and Defendants are reaching
PLAINTIFFS ORIGINAL COMPLAINT PAGE 3

Case 2:16-cv-01290-JRG-RSP Document 1 Filed 11/22/16 Page 4 of 12 PageID #: 4

out to do business with Texas residents in this judicial district by operating, by or through
intermediaries, including through online sales and delivery services via the internet, including via
the Sams Club website, one or more commercial, interactive stores through which Texas
residents can purchase infringing products. Defendants have targeted sales from Texas residents,
in this judicial district, through such intermediaries operating online stores that offer shipping to
this judicial district, and, on information and belief, have offered for sale and sold infringing
products to residents of Texas in this judicial district. Each of the Defendants is committing
tortious acts in this judicial district, is engaging in interstate commerce, and has wrongfully
caused Lifestyle substantial injury in the State of Texas, in this judicial district. See 28 U.S.C.
1400(b).
STATEMENT OF FACTS
Lifestyles Business and Intellectual Property
8.

For many years, Lifestyle has continuously engaged in the development,

manufacture, marketing, and sale of premium furniture products, including, for example,
adjustable sofa beds (also known as convertible sofas).
9.

Among other intellectual property, Lifestyle owns U.S. Design Patent No.

D610,366 (the 366 Patent), which is titled Sofa Bed With Multiple Positions, and which
covers a certain unique and distinct design for adjustable sofa beds.
10.

On or about February 23, 2010, the 366 Patent was duly and legally issued by the

U.S. Patent Office to Lifestyle. Lifestyle owns the entire right, title, and interest in and to the
366 Patent. A copy of the 366 Patent is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as
Exhibit 1. An exemplary view of a figure in the 366 Patent is displayed in Illustration 1 below.

Abbysons Unlawful Activities


14.

Abbyson is a national brand and a wholesaler, designer and manufacturer.

Abbyson products and its collections cannot be purchased directly from their website. Instead
Abbysons products, including the infringing products, can be purchased from any one of their
many intermediaries, who are authorized dealers. Many online retailers are such intermediaries
and carry Abbysons products. Abbyson has been aware of the 366 patent at least as early as
April 2012. Abbyson has also been aware since at least April 2012 that Lifestyle has alleged that
one or more Abbyson adjustable sofa bed products infringed the 366 patent. Yet, Abbyson has
purposefully made, offered for sale, sold, and distributed, and continues to made, offer for sale,
sell, and distribute, adjustable sofa beds, at least under the name brands or marks Chelsea, and
Quantum, which violate Lifestyles patent rights protected by the 366 Patent (collectively, the
Infringing Products). Upon information and belief, Abbyson has also imported, and continues
to import, the Infringing Products into the United States. Lifestyle has not authorized any of the
foregoing activities.
15.

Illustration 4 below shows an example of Abbysons Infringing Products.

Illustration 5: Exemplary Image of Abbysons Quantum Infringing Product

16.

As a result of Abbysons unauthorized activities related to the Infringing

Products, Lifestyle has been injured in an amount to be determined at trial.


CAUSES OF ACTION
Count 1 Patent Infringement Under 35 U.S.C. 271
17.

Lifestyle incorporates paragraphs 1 through 16 above herein by reference.

18.

Upon information and belief, Abbyson has infringed and continues to infringe the

366 Patent because the design of the Infringing Products are covered by the claim of the 366
Patent; and Abbyson has made, used, offered to sell, sold, and/or imported, and is making, using,
offering to sell, selling, and/or importing, the Infringing Products within or into the United States
without the express or implied license or other authority of Lifestyle. In particular, Abbysons
Infringing Products infringe upon Lifestyles 366 Patent literally, under the doctrine of
equivalents, and/or by way of contributing to and/or inducing infringement of the 366 Patent by
others (e.g., having intermediaries offer to sell, sell, and/or distribute the Infringing Products).
Such acts of infringement have been made, and continue to be made, in violation of Lifestyles
rights during the term of the 366 Patent.
19.

Unless enjoined by this Court, such acts of infringement will continue to occur in

violation of Lifestyles rights during the term of the 366 Patent.


PLAINTIFFS ORIGINAL COMPLAINT PAGE 8

Case 2:16-cv-01290-JRG-RSP Document 1 Filed 11/22/16 Page 9 of 12 PageID #: 9

20.

This is an exceptional case in view of, inter alia, Abbysons willful patent

infringement activities, as alleged herein.


21.

Lifestyle has been, and will continue to be, injured and damaged as a result of

Abbysons patent infringement activities, for which Lifestyle is entitled to monetary relief under
at least 35 U.S.C. 281, 284, 285, and/or 289.
22.

Abbysons patent infringement activities has also caused, and will continue to

cause, irreparable harm to Lifestyle, for which there is no adequate remedy at law, and for which
Lifestyle is entitled to injunctive relief under at least 35 U.S.C. 283.
CONDITIONS PRECEDENT
23.

All conditions precedent to Lifestyles claims have occurred or been performed.
