 Plaintiff Levi Strauss & Co. ("LS&CO.") has filed a Complaint alleging trademark

has waived the right to appeal from this final judgment and each party will bear its own fees and costs 

in connection with this action.

JUDGMENT - 3 -Levi Strauss v. Koman Sportwear Manufacturing Corp., et al., 

Case No.C 07-0388 JL 

 B. LS&CO. owns the Arcuate trademark, which is a valid and famous trademark of 

LS&CO. and which is registered as follows for use on a variety of casual apparel: 

 a. U.S. Registration No. 1,139,254 (first used as early as 1873; registered 

September 2, 1980); 

 b. U.S. Registration No. 404,248 (first used as early as 1873; registered November 

16, 1943); 

 c. U.S. Registration No. 2,791,156 (first used as early as September 1, 1936; 

registered December 9, 2003); 

 d. U.S. Registration No. 2,794,649 (first used as early as 1873; registered 

December 16, 2003); 

 e. California Registration No. 088399 (first used as early as 1873; registered 

August 24, 1988). 

 C. L.S.V. has manufactured, distributed, and sold jeans under the brand name ONE TUFF 

BABE that display the pocket designs illustrated in Exhibit A (the "L.S.V. designs"). The L.S.V. 

designs are confusingly similar to LS&CO.'s Arcuate trademark and have been used on directly 

competing products. 

II. ORDER 

It is hereby ordered and adjudged as follows: 

 1. L.S.V. shall pay the sum of $5,000.00 to LS&CO. within ten days of entry of this 

Judgment. 

 2. Commencing as of the "So Ordered" date of this Final Judgment and Permanent 

Injunction, L.S.V., its principals, agents, employees, officers, directors, servants, successors, and 

assigns, and all persons acting in concert or participating with it or under its control who receive actual 

notice of this Order, are hereby permanently enjoined and restrained, directly or indirectly, from 

doing, authorizing or procuring any persons to do any of the following: 

 a. Manufacturing, licensing, selling, offering for sale, distributing, importing, 

exporting, advertising, promoting, or displaying any products that display any stitching or other design 

in any of the shapes illustrated in Exhibit A, or any other stitching or design that is substantially

JUDGMENT - 4 -Levi Strauss v. Koman Sportwear Manufacturing Corp., et al., 

Case No.C 07-0388 JL 

similar to any of the L.S.V. designs or to the Arcuate trademark; 

 b. Manufacturing, licensing, selling, offering for sale, distributing, importing, 

exporting, advertising, promoting, or displaying any products that display any stitching or other design 

that may reasonably be believed to be as similar or more similar to the Arcuate trademark than any of 

the L.S.V. designs; 

 c. Violating the rights of Levi Strauss & Co. in and to its Arcuate trademark; and 

 d. Assisting, aiding or abetting any person or entity engaging in or performing any 

act prohibited by this paragraph. 

 3. In the event that L.S.V. violates the terms of this Judgment by making, selling or 

offering for sale garments displaying any of the designs illustrated in Exhibit A, it shall pay to 

LS&CO. liquidated damages of (a) 10% of the sales revenue received by L.S.V. at any time on 

account of such garments, or (b) $7,500, whichever is greater, and judgment shall be entered against 

L.S.V. for that amount. L.S.V. specifically acknowledges that this is a reasonable estimate of the 

damages to which LS&CO. would be entitled by virtue of L.S.V.'s sales of such garments and the 

costs LS&CO. has incurred in enforcing its rights. Such liquidated damages shall be in addition to 

any further damages award or equitable relief to which LS&CO. may be entitled with respect to future 

sales by L.S.V. that violate LS&CO.'s trademark rights, but any payments made by L.S.V. pursuant to 

this paragraph shall be deemed a credit against any potential award of damages under this paragraph. 

 4. This Court shall retain jurisdiction for the purpose of making any further orders 

necessary or proper for the construction or modification of this Judgment, the enforcement thereof, 

and/or the punishment for any violations thereof. If LS&CO. commences an action for enforcement 

of this Judgment, the prevailing party shall be awarded reasonable attorneys' fees and costs from the 

other party.
