SUNDESA, LLC., a Utah Limited Liability Company, Plaintiff, v.
Civil Action No. 2:13-cv-00611-PMW Honorable Judge Paul M. Warner JURY DEMANDED
HIGH ENERGY LABS, INC., a Utah Corporation,
Plaintiff Sundesa, LLC (“Sundesa”) complains against defendant High Energy Labs, Inc. (“High Energy Labs”) for the causes of action alleged as follows: THE PARTIES 1. Sundesa is a limited liability company duly organized and existing under the laws
of the State of Utah, with its principal place of business located at 284 S 700 W Pleasant Grove, UT 84062. 2. Sundesa alleges High Energy Labs is a Corporation organized and existing under
the laws of the State of Utah with its principal place of business located at 150 N Main Street, #205 P.O. Box 485 Heber, UT 84032. JURISDICTION AND VENUE 3. This is a civil action for patent infringement arising under the patent laws of the
United States 35 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq., including 35 U.S.C. § 271. 4. This Court has original jurisdiction over the subject matter of this action under at
least 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1338(a). 5. This Court has personal jurisdiction over High Energy Labs because High Energy
Labs is a Utah Corporation with its principal place of business in Utah. 6. High Energy Labs has purposely availed itself of the privileges and benefits of the
laws of the State of Utah and has committed acts of patent infringement within this judicial district. 7. High Energy Labs does and has done substantial business in this judicial District,
including: (i) committing acts of patent infringement in this judicial District and elsewhere in Utah; (ii) regularly doing business or soliciting business by virtue of High Energy Labs’
nationwide, interactive and commercial website which directs High Energy Labs’ services and products to Utah residents; and (iii) engaging in other persistent courses of conduct, and/or deriving substantial revenue from products and/or services provided to persons in this District and State. 8. This Court’s exercise of personal jurisdiction over High Energy Labs is consistent
with the Constitutions of the United States and the State of Utah. 9. Venue is proper in this judicial district under at least 28 U.S.C. §§ 1391 and 1400. FACTUAL BACKGROUND 10. Sundesa’s technological innovations are protected, inter alia, by a portfolio of
utility and design patents, including United States Utility Patent No. 6,379,032 (the “’032 Patent”) and United States Design Patent No. D510,235 (the “’235 Design Patent”) (collectively the “Asserted Patents”). 11. High Energy Labs is in the business of manufacturing and selling nutritional
supplements and accessories. In particular, High Energy Labs provides a High Energy Labs Blender Bottle with a physically independent agitator that allows users to mix a composition of ingredients therein (the “Accused Products”). 12. By its design, manufacture and, sales of the Accused Products, High Energy Labs
encourages and instructs users to mix ingredients using the Accused Products. 13. 14. High Energy Labs sells and offers for sale the Accused Products. High Energy Labs markets, describes, and instructs its customers to use the
Accused Products to mix ingredients together in such a way as to perform the claimed methods of the ’032 Patent.
On December 18, 2012 Sundesa’s attorneys sent High Energy Labs a letter
informing High Energy Labs of its infringement of the Asserted Patents. 16. High Energy Labs has had knowledge of the Asserted Patents since at least about
December 18, 2012. 17. 18. Use of any of the Accused Products infringes the ’032 Patent. The Accused Products do not have any substantial use other than to perform the
methods of the ’032 Patent. 19. 20. The Accused Products have no substantial non-infringing uses. Additionally, the design of the Accused Products are substantially the same as the
design that is the subject matter of the ’235 Design Patent. 21. Furthermore, the design of the Accused Products is so similar to the design that is
the subject matter of the ’235 Design Patent that it will deceive customers and persuade them to buy the Accused Products thinking they are actually buying products protected by the ’235 Design Patent. FIRST CLAIM FOR RELIEF (Infringement of the ’032 Patent) 22. By this reference Sundesa realleges and incorporates the foregoing paragraphs as
though fully set forth herein. 23. High Energy Labs has directly infringed the ’032 Patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(a)
by making, using, selling, and offering for sale within the United States the Accused Products, which infringe the ’032 patent. 24. Since at least about December 18, 2012 High Energy Labs has had knowledge of
the ’032 Patent.
Since at least about December 18, 2012 High Energy Labs has infringed the ’032
Patent. For example, High Energy Labs instructs its customers or users of the Accused Products to use the Accused products to mix ingredients according to the claimed methods of the ’032 Patent. 26. High Energy Labs’ customers or users of the Accused Products do, in fact,
infringe the ’032 Patent. 27. Since at least about December 18, 2012, High Energy Labs has known or should
have known that its customers or users of its products infringe the ’032 Patent. 28. The Accused Products are especially made to be used, and are in fact used, by
customers, or users, of the Accused Products, to mix ingredients in a way that infringes the ’032 Patent. 29. Patent. 30. High Energy Labs has indirectly infringed the Asserted Patents under 35 U.S.C. The Accused Products have no substantial uses that do not infringe the ’032
§§ 271(b) and (c) by actively inducing infringement of, or contributorily infringing the ’032 Patent. 31. 32. High Energy Labs has infringed and induce others to infringe the ’032 Patent. The conduct of High Energy Labs as set forth hereinabove gives rise to a cause of
action for infringement of the ’032 Patent, pursuant to at least 35 U.S.C. §§ 271 and 281. 33. High Energy Labs has manufactured, used, sold, and offered for sale Accused
Products despite an objectively high likelihood that its actions constitute infringement of the ’032 Patent.
High Energy Labs’ acts of infringement have caused damage to Sundesa, and
Sundesa is entitled to recover the damages sustained as a result of High Energy Labs’ wrongful acts in an amount subject to proof at trial. High Energy Labs’ infringement of Sundesa’s rights under the ’032 Patent will continue to damage Sundesa’s business causing irreparable harm for which there is no adequate remedy at law, unless it is enjoined by this Court. 35. By reason of the foregoing, Sundesa is entitled to monetary relief against High
Energy Labs, pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §§ 283–85, as more fully set forth herein below. SECOND CLAIM FOR RELIEF (Infringement of the ’235 Design Patent) 36. By this reference Sundesa realleges and incorporates the foregoing paragraphs as
though fully set forth herein. 37. High Energy Labs has infringed, and continues to infringe the ’235 Design Patent
by making, using, offering to sell, selling, or importing, in this District, and elsewhere in the United States, the Accused Product, the design of which is substantially similar to the ornamental design of the ’235 Design Patent. 38. High Energy Labs’ actions constitute infringement of the ’235 Design Patent in
violation of 35 U.S.C. § 271. 39. Sundesa has sustained damages and will continue to sustain damages as a result of
High Energy Labs’ aforementioned acts of infringement. 40. Sundesa is entitled to recover damages sustained as a result of High Energy Labs’
wrongful acts in an amount to be proven at trial
High Energy Labs’ infringement of Sundesa’s rights under the ’235 Design Patent
will continue to damage Sundesa’s business, causing irreparable harm, for which there is no adequate remedy at law, unless High Energy Labs is enjoined by his Court. 42. Since at least about December 18, 2012 High Energy Labs has had knowledge of
the ’235 Design Patent. 43. High Energy Labs has infringed the ’235 Design Patent, entitling Sundesa to
increased damages under 35 U.S.C. § 284 and to attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in prosecuting this action under 35 U.S.C. § 285. 44. Alternatively, Plaintiff is entitled to recover High Energy Labs’ total profits from
its sale of the Accused Product under 35 U.S.C. § 289. PRAYER FOR RELIEF Sundesa prays for judgment as follows: A. A judgment finding High Energy Labs liable for infringement of one or more of the claims of the ’032 Patent; B. A judgment finding High Energy Labs liable for infringement of the claims of the ’235 Design Patent; C. Orders of this Court temporarily, preliminarily, and permanently enjoining High Energy Labs, its agents, servants, and any and all parties acting in concert with any of them, from directly or indirectly infringing in any manner any of the claims of the ’032 Patent and ’235 Design Patent, pursuant to at least 35 U.S.C. § 283; D. An award of damages adequate to compensate Sundesa for High Energy Labs’ infringement of the ’032 Patent, in an amount to be proven at trial;
E. An award of damages adequate to compensate Sundesa for High Energy Labs’ infringement of the ’235 Design Patent, in an amount to be proven at trial, or in the alternative, an award of High Energy Labs’ total profits under 35 U.S.C. § 289; F. An award of treble Sundesa’s damages, pursuant to at least 35 U.S.C. § 284; G. A declaration that this is an exceptional case and that Sundesa be awarded its attorney fees and expenses, pursuant to at least 35 U.S.C. § 285; H. An award of Sundesa’s costs in bringing this action, pursuant to all applicable state statutory and common law, including at least 35 U.S.C. § 284. I. An award of Sundesa’s attorney fees, pursuant to all applicable state statutory and common law. J. Prejudgment interest, pursuant to at least 35 U.S.C. § 284; K. Post-judgment interest, pursuant to at least 28 U.S.C. § 1961(a); and L. For such other and further relief as the Court deems just and equitable.
