12 3. Venue properly lies within the Central District of California pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

13 sections 1391(b) and (c); 28 U.S.C. section 1400; and 18 U.S.C. section 1965. On information and

14 belief, Defendant conducts substantial business directly and through third parties or agents in this

15 judicial district by selling and offering to sell the infringing products and by conducting other business

16 in this judicial district. Furthermore, Plaintiffs have been harmed by Defendant’s conduct, business

17 transactions and sales in this district.

18 4. This Court has personal jurisdiction over Defendant because, on information and belief,

19 Defendant transacts continuous and systematic business within the State of California and the Central

20 District of California. In addition, this Court has personal jurisdiction over the Defendant because, on

21 information and belief, this lawsuit arises out of Defendant’s infringing activities, including, without

22 limitation, the making, using, selling and/or offering to sell infringing products in the State of California

23 and the Central District of California. Finally, this Court has personal jurisdiction over Defendant

24 because, on information and belief, Defendant has made, used, sold and/or offered for sale its infringing

1
19. As depicted above, the headlight design of the Defendant’s 2007-2014 GMC Sierra
2
1500/2500 Chrome Drl U-Halo Led Projector Headlights is the same or substantially the same as the
3
headlight design of the Plaintiff’s ’040 Patent. The headlight designs are so similar in overall impression
4
as to be nearly identical such that an ordinary observer, giving such attention as a purchaser usually
5
gives, would be so deceived by the substantial similarity between the designs so as to be induced to
6
purchase Defendant JL Concepts’ GT Racer products believing them to be substantially the same as the
7
headlight design protected by the ’040Patent.
8
20. Plaintiff has not granted a license or any other authorization to Defendant JL Concepts to
9
make use, offer for sale, sell or import headlights that embody the headlight design patented in the ’040
10
Patent and which is proprietary to Plaintiff.
11
21. Plaintiff alleges upon information and belief that, without authority, Defendant has
12
infringed and will continue to infringe the ’040 patent by, inter alia, making, using, offering to sell, or
13
selling in the United States, including in the State of California and within this District, products
14
infringing the ornamental design covered by the ’040 patent in violation of 35 U.S.C. § 271, including
15
but not limited to Defendant JL Concepts’2007-2014 GMC Sierra 1500/2500 Chrome Drl U-Halo Led
16
Projector Headlights.
17
22. Defendant JL Concepts infringes the ’040 patent because, inter alia, in the eye of an
18
ordinary observer, giving such attention as a purchaser usually gives, the headlight design of the ’040
19
patent and the headlight designs of Defendant JL Concepts’ products including without limitation the
20
headlight designs of the 2007-2014 GMC Sierra 1500/2500 Chrome Drl U-Halo Led Projector
21
Headlight products are substantially the same, the resemblance being such as to deceive such an
22
ordinary observer, inducing him to purchase one supposing it to be the other.
23
23. Defendant JL Concepts’ acts of infringement of the ’040 patent were undertaken without
24
authority, permission or license from Plaintiff. Defendant JL Concepts’ infringing activities violate 35
25
U.S.C. § 271.
26
24. Plaintiff is informed and believes that Defendant intentionally sells, ships or otherwise
27
delivers the accused products in the United States, with knowledge that are designed to and do practice
28
the infringing features of the ’040 Patent.
Case 2:19-cv-07328 Document 1 Filed 08/23/19 Page 7 of 14 Page ID #:7

2 these acts of infringement. Plaintiff asserts upon information and belief that infringement of the asserted
3 claims of the ’040 Patent is continuous and ongoing unless and until Defendant is enjoined from further
4 infringement by the Court.
