FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION (Trademark Infringement) 21. This action is brought under the Trademark Laws of the United States, 15 U.S.C.

1051 et seq., the general common law, and the laws of the State of Utah, which claims are substantial and related to the claims arising under Federal law. 22. Since prior to the acts complained of herein, Plaintiff Reveille has been the owner

of the The Biggest Loser trademarks and related rights in the United States of America. Plaintiff Reveille is a limited liability company, jointly owned and controlled by Universal and the Shine Plaintiffs, with Universal also owning the exclusive right to exploit the aforesaid trademarks and distribute products and services bearing same, throughout the world. Reveille caused The

Biggest Loser trademark to be registered on the principal register in the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on July 29, 2008 in Class 9, 41, 43, and 44; on September 30, 2008 in Class 29; on June 23, 2009 in Class 28; and, on February 10, 2009 in Class 16. 23. Upon Reveilles submission of Declarations of Use and Incontestability, the

registrations of these marks were and are deemed incontestable as a matter of law as the date of the issuance of registration. [15 U.S.C. 1165]. 24. Copies of said registrations are attached hereto, marked as Exhibit A, and

incorporated herein by reference. 25. Pursuant to agreement among themselves, Plaintiffs share the joint right, title and interest in and to any and all USPTO The Biggest Loser registrations, while Universal possesses the exclusive right to promote, market, sell, distribute or exploit same in connection with goods and services relating to the aforementioned registrations.

This includes but is not limited to registrations for The Biggest Loser in the

following International Classes: (a) Class 41 for: Providing general interest entertainment and educational

information in the field of physical fitness, exercise, exercise, work-outs, and physical conditioning, via a multi-user global computer information network and streaming media (b) Class 43 for Providing general interest entertainment and educational

information in the field of recipes, via a multi-user global computer information network and streaming media (c) Class 44 for Providing general interest entertainment and educational

information in the field of health, nutrition, diet, and weight loss, via a multi-user global computer information network and streaming media ; and, (d) Class 41 for: Health club services, namely, providing instruction and

equipment in the field of physical exercise, instruction services, namely, instruction in the field of health, nutrition and physical exercise, providing health club services, namely, providing fitness and exercise facilities; gymnasium services; providing exercise and fitness facilities; providing instruction in exercise, nutrition, healthy lifestyle and fitness; educational services, namely instruction and training in the fields of fitness and nutrition; providing instruction and training in the use of fitness equipment educational services; namely, classes, conventions, demonstrations, workshops, seminars and training, in the fields of health and medical care, fitness, nutrition and wellness . 27. Plaintiffs first discovered in or about April 2011 that, beginning on a date unknown

to Plaintiffs but which Plaintiffs are informed and believe and thereon allege was prior to April 2011, Defendants had caused to be published and published several direct, prominent uses of The Biggest Loser on Defendants website, www.premierfitnesscamp.com, and in so doing, purposefully targeted consumers in interstate commerce in order to promote Defendants website,

Case 2:11-cv-00980-CW Document 2

Filed 10/21/11 Page 6 of 17

weight loss business and fitness retreat, also known as Premier Fitness Camp - Americas #1 Fitness Retreat. 28. These infringing uses included but were not limited to: a) A stand-alone use on the website of www.premierfitnesscamp.com as the sixth category under the Menu listing About Premier, with a stand-alone link titled, BIGGEST LOSER (Exhibit B); b) A prominent headline use on the website, www.premierfitnesscamp.com of Biggest Loser of Weight directly followed by numerous references to Universals renowned and popular television series entitled The Biggest Loser and associated products and services. (Exhibit C); c) In the Menu section of the website, www.premierfitnesscamp.com, under The Healthy Spaghetti and the smaller headline Spaghetti Squash with Avocado Pesto, the site reads Spaghetti squash is a perennial favorite of Biggest Loser contestants d) Moreover, the bottom of the same page states: Recipe Created By: Cheryl Forberg, RD, is a professional chef and the nutritionist for NBCs The Biggest Loser. She is the author of the book, The Biggest Loser Simple Swaps: 100 Easy Changes to Start Living a Healthier Lifestyle. e) Additionally, Defendants have made extensive use of internet search engine optimization (including substantial payments for advertising associated with Google Adwords) to further cement the perception of a direct nexus between The Biggest Loser and Defendants among consumers. For example, out of 6,700 results from a search in late July 2011 for Biggest Loser, www.premierfitnesscamp appeared at the top of the Google search results, in the upper right-hand corner under the headline Train Like Biggest Loser. All of the other results on the first page related directly to The Biggest Loser television show or its licensees, including inter alia, for an authorized Biggest Loser meal plan and fitness camp. (Exhibit D) Moreover, in a Google search for Premier Fitness Camp Biggest Loser, the first result is a headline for

Case 2:11-cv-00980-CW Document 2

Filed 10/21/11 Page 7 of 17

Premier Fitness Camp, and the fourth result is Biggest Loser/Premier Fitness Camp. (Exhibit E) (All of the foregoing uses, together, hereafter referred to as (the Infringing Uses). 29. The aforesaid uses of Plaintiffs The Biggest Loser trademarks were and are

unauthorized by Plaintiffs, violate Plaintiffs exclusive trademark rights, and constitute separate infringements as to each such Infringing Use. 30. The said acts of Defendants have likely caused confusion, deception, or mistake as

to the source of ownership and origin of The Biggest Loser trademarks in that they were and are likely to cause the public mistakenly to believe that Defendants and Defendants products and services were and are sponsored by, connected with, or in some way interrelated with Plaintiffs The Biggest Loser, in particular Universals famous television show. 31. Plaintiffs are informed and believe, and upon such information and belief allege,

that Defendants aforesaid infringing acts were intentional and were committed in willful and deliberate disregard of Plaintiffs rights. Indeed, on May 11, 2011, Universal sent a demand letter to Defendants requesting, inter alia, an immediate cease and desist of the Infringing Uses. Despite communication with the counsel for Premier Fitness Camp regarding same, none of the Defendants, including Premier Fitness Camp, took any action to stop the Infringing Uses for more than three (3) additional months (and only then after a demand letter was issued to Defendants by Universals outside litigation law firm). Plaintiffs The Biggest Loser marks are well-known

among the public and have become so identified with the trademark The Biggest Loser that Universal has attained worldwide recognition and acknowledgment as the source of this famous mark. 32. By reason of the acts of Defendants described above, Plaintiffs, and Universal in

particular, have suffered great detriment and injury to their trademarks, business, goodwill, and profits. The exact amount of said damage is presently unascertained. 33. In the event Defendants resume the infringing activities set forth herein, such

conduct would cause Plaintiffs, and Universal in particular, irreparable damage in that it would be

Case 2:11-cv-00980-CW Document 2

Filed 10/21/11 Page 8 of 17

extremely difficult to ascertain the amount of compensation which would afford Plaintiffs, and Universal in particular, adequate relief therefor, and, unless this Court grants a permanent injunction, Universal would be compelled to prosecute a multiplicity of actions for damages, one each time Defendants used or reproduced Plaintiffs trademark. Plaintiffs have no adequate remedy at law.

SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION (False Designation of Origin (Passing Off) Under 15 U.S.C. 1125(a)) 34. Plaintiffs repeat, reallege, and incorporate herein by reference the allegations of

paragraphs 1 through 33 above. 35. Defendants use and exploitation of The Biggest Loser trademarks constituted and

constitute willful and deliberate false designations of origin and false representations which were and are likely to cause confusion, mistake, or deception by inducing the impression among customers, potential customers, and the public in general to believe that Defendants and Defendants products and services were and are in some manner approved, licensed, sponsored, affiliated, or associated with Plaintiffs. 36. 37. Defendants said acts violate Title 15, United States Code, 1125(a). Universal has been damaged by Defendants conduct and may suffer additional

irreparable damage unless this Court grants the remedies prayed for herein. Plaintiffs have no adequate remedy at law.

THIRD CAUSE OF ACTION [False Advertising Under 15 U.S.C. 1125(a)] 38. Plaintiffs repeat, reallege and incorporate herein by reference the allegations of

paragraphs 1 through 37, above.

Case 2:11-cv-00980-CW Document 2

Filed 10/21/11 Page 9 of 17

39.

Plaintiffs are informed and believe and thereon allege that Defendants have

published Universals The Biggest Loser mark on its website www.premierfitnesscamp.com (the Infringing Website or Defendants Website), for the purpose of advertising and promoting the Infringing Uses and generating sales by and through association with Universals famous television series and mark (the Infringing Advertisements). 40. Plaintiffs are informed and believe and thereon allege that, in advertising and

promoting the Infringing Uses by and through the Infringing Website and elsewhere, Defendants have been and are also misrepresenting the nature, characteristics, and quality of their own goods by, among other things, falsely and fraudulently implying approval, association or sponsorship by Plaintiffs, and Universal in particular, thereby deceiving the general public and consumers. 41. Plaintiffs are informed and believe and thereon allege that Defendants deliberately

devised their Website, www.premierfitnesscamp.com, and advertising and promotion of the Infringing Marks contained therein, to deliberately misrepresent the nature, quality, or characteristics of their own goods as well as Universals. 42. Plaintiffs, and Universal in particular, have never authorized Defendants, by license

or otherwise, to advertise, promote, market, reproduce, duplicate, offer for sale, sell, or distribute The Biggest Loser mark as contained in the Infringing Website. 43. The display of The Biggest Loser marks on Defendants Website was and is a

part of Defendants effort to solicit sales of the Infringing Products and/or Services, or other products, constitutes a commercial advertisement and promotion distributed in interstate commerce. 44. Plaintiffs, and Universal in particular, have sustained, and will continue to sustain,

substantial damage to the commercial value of its image in that the previously-described activities of Defendants have damaged Plaintiffs (and in particular Universals) goodwill and reputation and the value of The Biggest Loser marks by falsely associating The Biggest Loser marks and will

Case 2:11-cv-00980-CW Document 2

Filed 10/21/11 Page 10 of 17

continue to diminish the revenues which Plaintiffs (and in particular Universal) would otherwise receive from authorized or prospective exploitation of The Biggest Loser marks. 45. 46. Defendants said acts constitute direct infringement under 15 U.S.C. 1125(a). Defendants have continued to infringe Plaintiffs rights, and unless temporarily,

preliminarily and permanently enjoined by Order of this Court, will continue to infringe said rights, all to Plaintiffs irreparable injury. As a result of Defendants' acts of infringement, Universal is without an adequate remedy at law in that damages are difficult to ascertain and, unless injunctive relief is granted as prayed for herein, Plaintiffs will be required to pursue a multiplicity of actions. 47. Defendants have committed all of the aforesaid acts of infringement deliberately,

willfully, maliciously and oppressively, without regard to Plaintiffs proprietary rights.

FOURTH CAUSE OF ACTION (Trademark Dilution) 48. Plaintiffs repeat, reallege and incorporate herein by reference the allegations of

paragraphs 1 through 47, above. 49. The Biggest Loser trademarks and Plaintiffs (in particular Universals)

rendition thereof have a distinctive and valuable quality protected by the Federal Trademark Dilution Act of 1995 [15 U.S.C. 1125(c)]. 50. Plaintiffs are informed and believe, and thereon allege, that the trademarks used by

Defendants have a likelihood of confusion with Universals The Biggest Loser television series and related marks and have been used improperly, inter alia, in and upon the Infringing Website, www.premierfitnesscamp.com, without Plaintiffs authorization and without proper attribution to Plaintiffs (and Universal in particular). Said use threatens to cheapen and debase Plaintiffs mark and the absence of proper attribution threatens to lead the public to believe there is no protection. 51. Defendants unauthorized appropriation as alleged above constituted and

constitutes a dilution of Plaintiffs rights in and to The Biggest Loser trademarks. Defendants

10

Case 2:11-cv-00980-CW Document 2

Filed 10/21/11 Page 11 of 17

misappropriation diminishes or destroys the exclusive association between Universal and their trademarks thereby depriving Plaintiffs of the benefits sought and achieved from such exclusive association developed through great diligence and significant cost. All of the foregoing acts of Defendants constitute a violation of the Federal Trademark Dilution Act of 1995 [15 U.S.C. 1125(c)], and may continue to injure Plaintiffs (and Universal in particular) unless this Court grants the relief requested herein.

FIFTH CAUSE OF ACTION (Unfair Competition) 52. Plaintiffs repeat, reallege and incorporate herein by reference the allegations of

paragraphs 1 through 51 above. 53. Defendants unauthorized use of Universals trademarked phrase, The Biggest

Loser, constitutes common law unfair competition under 15 USC 1125(a). Defendants use of The Biggest Loser trademarks was and is likely to cause confusion, mistake, and deception among consumers. 54. By reason of the foregoing, Defendants unfair competition has caused irreparable

harm, injury, and damage to Plaintiffs and may continue to do so unless this Court grants the relief requested herein. SIXTH CAUSE OF ACTION (Counterfeiting) 55. Plaintiffs repeat, reallege, and incorporate herein by reference the allegations of

paragraphs 1 through 54, above. 56. As noted herein, Plaintiffs are the owner of The Biggest Loser trademarks and

related rights in the United States of America, including but not limited in International Classes 41, 43, and 44, which expressly include use on a multi-user global computer information network [the internet]. See, supra, at 25 (a)-(d).

11

Case 2:11-cv-00980-CW Document 2

57.

As noted herein, the Defendants online public display, advertising, promotion, and

offer of sale of registrations for its Premier Fitness Camp (via www.premierfitnesscamp.com) prominently and repeatedly contained The Biggest Loser trademark. 58. Defendants aforesaid acts constituted and constitute the unauthorized use in

commerce of reproductions, counterfeits, copies, and colorable imitations of Plaintiffs registered The Biggest Loser trademark in connection with the sale, offering for sale, distribution, or advertising of goods or services. 59. Defendants aforesaid acts were and are likely to cause confusion, or to cause

mistake, or to deceive consumers and members of the general public. 60. Defendants said acts violate, inter alia, Title 15, United States Code, Section

1114(1)(a) and 1116(d), and constitute trademark counterfeiting. 61. Plaintiffs have been damaged by Defendants conduct and may suffer additional

irreparable damage unless this Court grants the remedies prayed for herein. Plaintiffs have no adequate remedy at law. 62. Plaintiffs are informed and believe and thereon allege, that Defendants said acts,

including the unauthorized use of counterfeits of Plaintiffs registered trademarks, were and are being done knowingly and willfully, at the very least during the period between the Universal legal departments written demand that Defendants cease and desist from the Infringing Uses sent on May 11, 2011 until in or about August 9, 2011. Pursuant to Title 15 U.S.C. 1117(c)(2), Plaintiffs therefore seek statutory damages in the amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per counterfeit mark per type of good or service sold, offered for sale, or distributed.

SEVENTH CAUSE OF ACTION (Alter Ego Liability) 63. Plaintiffs repeat, reallege, and incorporate herein by reference the allegations of

paragraphs 1 through 62, above.

12

Pursuant to their registrations with the Utah Department of Commerce, all of the

corporate Defendants are located at 7659 South 700 West/Main Street, Midvale, UT 84047 (the 7659 Address), an office building with no signs and blacked out windows. As demonstrated in the attached Exhibit F, Defendants manage and control numerous corporations out of the 7659 Address. 65. The domain name registration for the Infringing Website,

www.premierfitnesscamp.com, identifies the address for the website as 7659 South 700 West Street, Midvale, UT 84047. 66. Defendant Ryan Relyea is identified as the registrant contact, technical contact,

and administrative contact for the Infringing Website. (Exhibit G) 67. Defendants Ryan Relyea, Chris Butt, Vincent McCallister, and Phillip Holmes also

have direct management of Premier Fitness Camp (and the Infringing Website) as evidenced by a press release distributed by Premier Fitness Camp itself on June 6, 2011. (Exhibit H). 68. As demonstrated by the attached Exhibit I, Defendants appear to be involved in a

Tangled Web of ownership and control of www.premierfitnesscamp.com. 69. Upon information and belief, each of the Defendants has used the assets of the

other for its own use and benefit, and has treated the assets of the other as its own assets. 70. Upon information and belief and further information to be obtained through

discovery, Plaintiffs allege that the Defendants have conducted their affairs in such a manner that their separate existences no longer exist, that each is the alter ego of the other, and that observance of the corporate or limited liability form would sanction a fraud, or promote injustice, or an inequitable result. 71. This Court should pierce the corporate veil of each Defendant corporate entity and

enter judgment that the Defendants, including but not limited to each Defendant corporate entity and each individual Defendant, are mere alter egos of each and every such Defendant corporate entity.

Accordingly, to the extent that Plaintiffs obtain a judgment against one of the

Defendants, then Plaintiffs are also entitled to obtain a judgment, in a like amount, against the remaining Defendants.

EIGHTH CAUSE OF ACTION (Civil Conspiracy) 73. Plaintiffs repeat, reallege, and incorporate herein by reference the allegations of

paragraphs 1 through 72, above. 74. In committing the acts of wrongdoing alleged herein, all Defendants acted

pursuant to a common scheme to infringe and benefit from infringement of The Biggest Loser trademarks. 75. All Defendants were aware of the common scheme and took steps in furtherance

of such scheme. Accordingly, all Defendants are vicariously liable for all acts in furtherance of the conspiracy. 76. As a direct and proximate result of the conspiracy, Plaintiffs have suffered, and

continue to experience, significant damages in an amount to be determined at trial. 77. Accordingly, to the extent that Plaintiffs obtain a judgment against one of the

Defendants, then Plaintiffs are also entitled to obtain a judgment, in a like amount, against the remaining Defendants.

PRAYER FOR RELIEF Wherefore, Plaintiffs respectfully request this Court to enter judgment against Defendants as follows: 1. For an Order during the pendency of this action and permanently thereafter,
