Case: 1:17-cv-00749-TSB Doc #: 1 Filed: 11/07/17 Page: 3 of 49 PAGEID #: 3
02922587-2 4

7. Defendant RIPT Apparel, LLC is a limited liability company organized under 

the laws of the State of Iowa and doing business in Hamilton County, Ohio.

Delaware and doing business in Hamilton County, Ohio. 

9. Defendant ooShirts Inc. is a corporation incorporated in the State of 

California and doing business in Hamilton County, Ohio under the name “teechip.com.” 

10. Defendants John Does Numbers 1 through 99 are fictitious names for 

Defendant persons or business entities which have reproduced, manufactured, imported, 

copied, distributed, displayed and sold the infringing goods, merchandise and materials 

which are the subject of the Complaint herein for or on behalf of the Defendants named at 

numerical paragraphs 3 through 9 above, or in concert or privity with them, including said 

Defendants’ manufacturers, importers, exporters, distributors, exhibitors, and vendors, and 

for Defendant persons, including corporate officers, directors, managers, operators, 

representatives, and agents, or business entities having the right to supervise the infringing

11. At all times relevant herein, Defendants were variously engaged in the

JURISDICTION AND VENUE

and 17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq. as the Complaint alleges a violation of federal Copyright Law.

Case: 1:17-cv-00749-TSB Doc #: 1 Filed: 11/07/17 Page: 4 of 49 PAGEID #: 4
02922587-2 5

13. Venue in the Southern District of Ohio is proper under 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b)(2) 

and (3), because a substantial part of the events giving rise to the claim herein took place 

within the Southern District of Ohio, a fact sufficient to confer jurisdiction under Ohio’s 

Long-Arm Statute, ORC 2307.382. Defendants transact business in Ohio and/or willfully 

infringed Plaintiff’s copyright, knowing Plaintiff resided within Ohio. 

FACTUAL BACKGROUND

14. At all times relevant herein, Plaintiff was variously engaged in the business of 

creating, manufacturing, marketing, distributing, and selling works of visual art. 

15. Prior to October 15, 2013, Plaintiff created an original pictorial and/or graphic 

work of authorship, titled “Duder of Thrones” which is a two dimensional work of visual art 

depicting a character resembling “The Dude” from “The Big Lebowski” sitting on a throne of 

bowling pins (Hereafter referred to as “Plaintiff’s Work”). 

16. A true and accurate copy of Plaintiff’s Work is attached hereto as Exhibit “A.”

17. Plaintiff’s Work was first published in or around October 15, 2013. Plaintiff 

published Plaintiff’s Work in the larger work “Crazy 4 Cult: Cult Movie Art 2” (Hereafter 

referred to as “Plaintiff’s Collection”). 

18. Plaintiff’s Work and Plaintiff’s Collection have been available for sale and/or 

viewing on Plaintiff’s website and other internet locations since October 15, 2013.

19. Defendants have been copying, reproducing, manufacturing, importing, 

distributing, displaying, marketing and/or selling merchandise depicting substantially 

similar pictorial and/or graphic designs to the protected Plaintiff’s Work referenced above, 

printouts of which are incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit “B.” (The items in 

Exhibit “B” are referenced collectively herein as the “Infringing Merchandise.”)

Case: 1:17-cv-00749-TSB Doc #: 1 Filed: 11/07/17 Page: 5 of 49 PAGEID #: 5
02922587-2 6

20. Plaintiff has been and is the author and sole proprietor of all right, title, and 

interest, including copyright, in and to Plaintiff’s Work. 

21. On August 12, 2016, Plaintiff registered his copyright of Plaintiff’s Work and 

Plaintiff’s Collection. The Registration number is VA 2-016-306. A copy of the Registration 

Certificate is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit “C.”

22. Defendants individually, or by and through their agents, employees, and 

representative, with notice of Plaintiff’s right, title, and interest in and to Plaintiff’s Work, 

and without Plaintiff’s authorization, have used Plaintiff’s Work to manufacture, reproduce, 

copy, publish, display, distribute, transmit, sell, and otherwise market their Infringing 

Merchandise. 

23. Upon information and belief, Defendants willfully and deliberately infringed 

said Plaintiff’s copyright by copying Plaintiff’s Work, and manufacturing, reproducing, 

importing, publishing, displaying, distributing, transmitting, selling, or otherwise placing 

on the market Defendants’ Infringing Merchandise and, thus, using Plaintiff’s Work 

without authorization, all to Plaintiff’s detriment. 

24. Upon information and belief, Defendants have manufactured, reproduced, 

imported, published, displayed, distributed, transmitted, marketed, promoted, and sold the 

Infringing Merchandise and will, unless restrained, continue to do so in the future.

25. Defendants’ infringement of Plaintiff’s copyright has caused and will continue 

to cause immediate and irreparable harm to Plaintiff unless enjoined by this Court. 

COUNT I: COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT

26. Plaintiff has been and is the sole proprietor of all right, title and interest in 

and to Plaintiff’s Work. 

Case: 1:17-cv-00749-TSB Doc #: 1 Filed: 11/07/17 Page: 6 of 49 PAGEID #: 6
02922587-2 7

27. Plaintiff’s Work is an original work of authorship, and Plaintiff has the 

exclusive right to reproduce, create derivative works, sell, and display Plaintiff’s Work. 

28. Defendants individually, or by and through their agents, employees and 

representatives, with notice of Plaintiff’s right, title and interest in and to Plaintiff’s Work, 

and without Plaintiff’s authorization, have manufactured, reproduced, created derivative 

works from, copied, published, displayed, distributed, transmitted, imported, exported, and 

sold Plaintiff’s Work. 

29. The acts of Defendants constitute infringement of Plaintiff’s registered 

copyright and exclusive right under copyright in violation of 17 USC § 106 and § 501.

30. Plaintiff was injured as a result of Defendants’ actions and suffered actual 

damages as a result of Defendants’ actions.

31. Upon information and belief, Defendants willfully and deliberately infringed 

Plaintiff’s copyright by copying Plaintiff’s Work, and manufacturing, reproducing, 

importing, publishing, displaying, distributing, transmitting, selling or otherwise placing on 

the market Defendants’ Infringing Merchandise and, thus, using Plaintiff’s Work without 

authorization, all to Plaintiff’s detriment.

32. Plaintiff was injured as a result of Defendants’ actions and is entitled to 

statutory damages under 17 USC § 504(c)(1) at Plaintiff’s election. 

33. Plaintiff was injured as a result of the Defendants’ willful and deliberate 

actions and is therefore entitled to increased statutory damages under 17 USC § 504(c)(2).

34. Plaintiff is further entitled to payment of attorney’s fees and costs pursuant to 

17 USC § 505.

Case: 1:17-cv-00749-TSB Doc #: 1 Filed: 11/07/17 Page: 7 of 49 PAGEID #: 7
02922587-2 8

35. Defendants’ infringement of Plaintiff’s copyright has caused and will continue 

to cause immediate and irreparable harm to Plaintiff unless enjoined by this Court.

WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests the following relief:

A. A declaration from this Court that Defendants infringed Plaintiff’s copyright;

B. A temporary restraining order and permanent injunction restraining 

Defendants, their agents, servants, employees, successors, assigns, and all others in concert 

or privity with them from infringing Plaintiff’s Work, and from manufacturing,

otherwise placing on the market Defendants’ Infringing Merchandise and, thus, using 

Plaintiff’s copyrighted Work without authorization;

C. That Defendants be required to account to Plaintiff for Defendants’ profits 

and the actual damages suffered by Plaintiff as a result of Defendants’ infringement;

D. That Defendants be ordered to surrender to Plaintiff all property, tangible and

transmit, market, promote, and sell Defendants’ Infringing Merchandise;

E. That Plaintiff be awarded actual damages and profits or statutory damages 

against Defendants, subject to Plaintiff’s election with respect thereto;
