14.

Rolex has developed an outstanding reputation because of the uniform high

quality of Rolex Watches and the ROLEX trademark is a distinctive mark used to identify these
high quality products originating with Rolex.

15.

Rolex is the owner, among others, of the following federal trademark registrations

in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office:

CROWN DEVICE

A true and correct copy of Rolex's federal trademark registrations (hereinafter collectively the "Rolex Registered Trademarks") is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and is incorporated herein by
reference.

16.
17.

The Rolex Registered Trademarks are famous throughout the United States.
Rolex and its predecessors have used the Rolex Registered Trademarks for many

years on and in connection with watches, related products and in advertisements, posters and
print ads. The Rolex Registered Trademarks identify high quality products originating with

The Rolex Registered Trademarks are valid and subsisting and in full force and

B. Defendant's Infringing and Diluting Activities

21.

Upon information and belief, long after Rolex's adoption and use of the Rolex

Registered Trademarks on its products and after Rolex's federal registration of the Rolex

Registered Trademarks, Defendant, in bad faith, registered, renewed the registration for and maintains a domain name containing the ROLEX trademark and otherwise infringes the Rolex
Registered Trademarks. 22. In or about September 2005, Rolex discovered Defendant's registration of the

rolexcrown.com domain name (the "Infringing Domain"). The Infringing Domain impermissibly contains a Rolex Registered Trademark without Rolex's consent. A true and correct copy of the Whois report for the Infringing Domain is attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein
by reference.
23. On or about October 7,2005, Rolex's counsel sent a cease and desist letter to

Defendant, via First Class Mail, warning Defendant of the consequences of his cybersquatting.
24. Rolex discovered that the Infringing Domain did not have active content but

directed viewers to the www.horologist.com website (the "Website"). This website contains

extensive and prominent depictions of the Rolex Registered Trademarks used in association with Defendant's sale of Rolex Watches, Rolex Watch parts and other watch services. A representative sample of the content found on the Website is attached hereto as Exhibit 3 and incorporated herein by reference.
25. Defendant refers to himself as the "Exclusive Online Source for Professional

Rolex Service and Repair," and he claims to maintain a large inventory of Rolex "Genuine
Factory Parts."

26.

Further, Defendant advertises and uses the vanity contact phone number (888)

27.

Further, Defendant offers "Professional Dial Refinishing and Custom Dial

Enhancements" whereby he, among other things, adds diamonds to Rolex Watch dials and
otherwise customizes Rolex Watches without Rolex's consent.

28.

Further, Defendant prominently uses the Rolex Registered Trademarks

throughout the Website, even though he is not affiliated with or sponsored by Rolex. 29. In its totality, this unauthorized use of the Rolex Registered Trademarks, as

described above, would lead a prospective purchaser to believe that Defendant and the goods and
services he offers for sale are authorized or endorsed by Rolex.

30.

After not receiving a response to its initial letter, on or about January 26,2006,

Rolex's counsel sent another cease and desist letter to Defendant, via First Class Mail, further

warning Defendant of the consequences of his cybersquatting and his unauthorized use of the
Rolex Registered Trademarks.

31.

On or about April 4,2006, Rolex received a letter from Defendant whereby he

refused to transfer the Infringing Domain and refused to remove from the Website any unauthorized reproductions of the Rolex Registered Trademarks.
32. Therefore, on or about April 19,2006, Rolex's counsel sent another letter to

Defendant further warning Defendant of the consequences of his unauthorized activities and reserving Rolex's rights. 33. Rolex's counsel did not receive a reply to the April 19,2006 letter, and

Defendant's unauthorized activities continued.

34.

Upon information and belief, on or about September 20,2011, with knowledge of

Rolex's objections and with blatant disregard for Rolex's intellectual property rights, Defendant renewed his registration for the Infringing Domain. 35. On or about October 5,2011, Rolex's counsel again wrote to Defendant again

warning Defendant of the consequences of his continued infringement and cybersquatting, and notifying Defendant of his willful behavior. Defendant did not respond to this letter.

36.

To date, despite repeated notice of Rolex's objections, Defendant continues to

promote and advertise his goods and services using the Rolex Registered Trademarks without the
authorization of Rolex, including in his domain name, vanity telephone number and on the
content of the Website.

C.

Summary of Defendant's Unauthorized Activities 37. Defendant intentionally, maliciously and willfully exploited the Rolex Registered

Trademarks, despite knowing that such actions are unauthorized. 38. Defendant's acts were calculated to confuse and to deceive the public and were

performed with full knowledge of Rolex's rights.


39. Defendant is not now, nor has he ever been, associated, affiliated, connected with,

endorsed or sanctioned by Rolex.


40. Rolex has never authorized or consented in any way to Defendant's use of the

Rolex Registered Trademarks or marks confusingly similar thereto. 41. Defendant's use of the Rolex Registered Trademarks is likely to cause consumers,

the public and the trade to erroneously believe that the Website and domain is authorized, sponsored, or approved by Rolex, even though it is not. This confusion causes irreparable harm to Rolex and weakens and dilutes the distinctive quality of the Rolex Registered Trademarks. 42. Defendant's use of the Rolex Registered Trademarks is likely to cause consumers,

the public and the trade to erroneously believe that Defendant is associated with or endorsed by
Rolex.

43.

By using the Rolex Registered Trademarks, Defendant is trading on the goodwill

and reputation of Rolex and creating the false impression that Defendant is affiliated with Rolex.
44. Defendant has been unjustly enriched by improperly using and misappropriating

Rolex's intellectual property for his own financial gain. Furthermore, Defendant has unfairly benefited and profited from Rolex's outstanding reputation for high quality products and its significant advertising and promotion of Rolex Watches and the Rolex Registered Trademarks.

45.

Defendant has disparaged Rolex, the Rolex Registered Trademarks and its

products by creatinga false association with Rolex, its genuine goods and the Rolex Registered
Trademarks.

46.
47.

Rolex has no control over the nature and quality of Defendant's goods or services.
Among other things, Defendant's promotion and advertisement of the Rolex

Registered Trademarks have and will reflect adversely on Rolex as the believed sourceor origin thereof; hampercontinuing effortsby Rolex to protect its outstanding reputation for high quality,
originality and distinctive goods; and tarnish the goodwill and demand for genuine Rolex
watches and products.

48.

Upon information and belief, Defendant has acted with reckless disregard for

Rolex's rights and/or was willfully blind in connection with unlawful activities. Upon
information and belief, Defendant has willfully and maliciously engaged in infringing activities. Therefore, this case constitutes an exceptional case under 15 U.S.C. 1117(a).
49. Rolex has suffered irreparable harm and damages as a result of Defendant's

conduct. The injuries and damages sustained by Rolex have been directly and proximately
caused by the Defendant's wrongful actions. 50. Rolex has no adequate remedy at law.

51.

Defendant's wrongful acts will continue unless enjoined by this Court.

Accordingly, Defendant must be restrained and enjoined from any further infringement of the
Rolex Registered Trademarks.

have acquired a secondary meaning so that any product and advertisement bearing such

trademarks is immediately associated by purchasers and the public as being a product and
affiliate of Rolex. 54. Defendant's activities constitute Defendant's use in commerce of the Rolex

Registered Trademarks. Defendant's use of the Rolex Registered Trademarks in connection with Defendant's sale, offers of sale, distribution, promotion and advertisement of his goods and services bearing infringements of the Rolex Registered Trademarks. 55. Defendant has used the Rolex Registered Trademarks, knowing they are the

exclusive property of Rolex, in connection with the sale, offers for sale, distribution, promotion and advertisement of his goods and services bearing infringements of the Rolex Registered
Trademarks.

56.

Defendant's activities create the false and misleading impression that Defendant is

sanctioned, assigned or authorized by Rolex to use the Rolex Registered Trademarks to advertise, manufacture, distribute, appraise, offer for sale or sell merchandise and/or services bearing the Rolex Registered Trademarks when Defendant is not so authorized. 57. Defendant engages in the aforementioned activity with the intent to confuse and

deceive the public into believing that he and the items and/or services that he sells and the items and products contained in his advertisements and posters are in some way sponsored, affiliated
or associated with Rolex, when, in fact, they are not. 58. Defendant's use of the Rolex Registered Trademarks has been without the consent

of Rolex, is likely to cause confusion and mistake in the minds of the public and, in particular, tends to and does falsely create the impression that the goods and/or services advertised, promoted, distributed, offered for sale and sold by Defendant are warranted, authorized,
sponsored or approved by Rolex when, in fact, they are not.

attorney's fees, investigative fees and pre-judgment interest pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1117.

Rolex hereby incorporates by reference all prior allegations as though fully set

63.

Upon information and belief, Defendant registered, re-registered and/or uses in

bad faith the domain name rolexcrown.com. which incorporates a mark confusingly similar to
the ROLEX trademark.

64.

The Infringing Domain is substantially indistinguishable from, confusingly

similar to and/or dilutive of the ROLEX trademark in violation of the Anti-Cybersquatting


Consumer Act, 15 U.S.C. 1125(d)(l)(A)(ii)(II).

65.

Defendant's registration, re-registration and/or use of the Infringing Domain is not

sponsored or authorized by Rolex. 66. Defendant has no trademark or other intellectual property rights in the Infringing

Domain, and Defendant has acted in bad faith with the intent to profit from the goodwill of the
ROLEX trademark.

67.

Defendant has no bona fide commercial use of the Infringing Domain as the

domain has no separate website.

falsity of such designations of origin, descriptions and representations, all to the detriment of
Rolex.
