CIVIL ACTION NO.
JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
COMPLAINT
Plaintiffs Kay-lu LLC dba Amazon Storefront Blossom Cup (Blossom
Cup); Ferayco, Inc. dba Amazon Storefront Ferayco, Inc. (Ferayco);
Medihealth 1 Pty Ltd dba Amazon Storefront Vida Cup (Vida Cup); Vital
Journey Limited dba Amazon Storefront Vital Journey (Vital Journey); Shop
Monkee Inc. dba Amazon Storefront Shop Monkee Inc. (Shop Monkee); and
ShenZhen ZhongTuoFu Technology Co, LTD (Shenzhen Tech.)(collectively,
Plaintiffs) file this, their Complaint for declaratory judgment of design patent
54453.0001v6
invalidity and non-infringement against Defendant Anigan Inc. (Anigan) and

Defendant Ai Chen Teo (Alleged Inventor)(collectively, Defendants),
showing this Honorable Court as follows:
I.
NATURE OF THE ACTION

1.
This civil action centers on a generic menstrual cup that has been in
existence for over seventy years. The Alleged Inventor requested menstrual cup
molds that were designed and manufactured in China from Defendants Chinese
manufacturer. Although making no contribution to the alleged invention, the
Alleged Inventor took all credit for inventing its menstrual cup design and
applied for and was granted a US design patent.
2.
With their design patent, Defendants asserted it against Plaintiffs
with Amazon.com Inc. Such complaints lack merit as the Alleged Inventor
fraudulently concealed information that would otherwise prevent her from
gaining registration, prior art renders the design patent both obvious and
anticipated, and even if Anigan owns a valid, enforceable design patent, which it
does not, Plaintiffs Generic Cups do not infringe the design patent.
II.

21.
Amazon.com Inc. allows Sellers to sell generic items under the same
Amazon Standard Identification Number (ASIN). 2 The only factor that

1F
separates Sellers of products on the same ASIN is the Sellers goodwill. Since
goodwill is the life blood of any Amazon seller, the Sellers success or demise can
Amazon Standard Identification Numbers (ASINs) are unique

blocks of 10 letters and/or numbers that identify items. You can
find the ASIN on the items product information page at
Amazon.com. For books, the ASIN is the same as the ISBN number,
but for all other products a new ASIN is created when the item is
uploaded to our catalogue. You will find an items ASIN on the
product detail page alongside further details relating to the item,
which may include information such as size, number of pages (if its
a book) or number of discs (if its a CD).
ASINs can be used to search for items in our catalogue. If you know
the ASIN or ISBN of the item you are looking for, simply type it into

be made or broken by reviews from Amazon purchasers.

22.
Negative reviews damage a Sellers brand name and kill sales
because purchasing decisions are largely made after reading reviews left by
others.
23.
Amazon.com Inc. takes intellectual property infringement cases
seriously. As such, it automatically suspends a Sellers offering if a complaint is

filed. Amazon does not review all of its automatic suspensions nor does it
intervene in alleged disputes between a Seller and a complainant.
24.
Rather, an accused Seller must resolve any apparent issue with the
complainant. However, complainants often fail to respond to good faith efforts

to resolve issues. Or, complainants often ignore evidence and arguments that
prove their complaint lacks merit. In either situation, an accused Seller is left in
limbo. Hence, accused Seller are left with two options 1) remain suspended, or
2) seek judicial intervention.
25.
In some cases, Amazon not only suspends an accused offering, it
also suspends an accused Sellers entire account regardless of whether the

intellectual property complaint applies to the other offerings.
26.
When compared to a brick and mortar store, such as Wal-Mart, the
devastating effects of a wrongful intellectual property complaint can be seen.
27.
If an Amazon complainant submits a single-paged intellectual
property infringement report, the result is similar to Wal-Mart removing a

certain product from all of its shelves.
28.
Often, Amazon may suspend all of an accused Sellers offerings.
This is akin to Samsung having an intellectual property complaint against one

model of one television, then Wal-Mart removes all of Samsungs televisions,
stereos, speakers, computers, monitors, printers, cameras, washers, dryers,
refrigerators, ovens, dishwashers, microwaves, vacuums, cell phones, tablets,
virtual reality devices, wearable smart devices, smart home devices, portable
music players, and headphones. 3
2F
29.
For Samsung, the suspension would only apply at Wal-Mart.
However, for many Amazon Sellers, the Amazon.com platform is the only
avenue they sell through.
V.
THE ALLEGED INVENTORS DESIGN PATENT

Upon information and belief, the Alleged Inventor owns US Design
Patent No. D760,897 (897 Patent). Breloski Decl. 14, Exhibit 5. The 897

ANIGANS BUSINESS
49.
Upon information and belief, Anigan is a similarly situated Amazon
seller as the Plaintiffs. Upon further information and belief, Anigan offers for
sale and sells menstrual cups. https://www.amazon.com/sp?_encoding=
UTF8&asin=&isAmazonFulfilled=&isCBA=&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER
&orderID=&seller=AY1UT6GRQ4RM1&tab=&vasStoreID= (last visited Dec. 20,

50.
Upon information and belief, Anigan is a direct competitor of
Plaintiffs on the Amazon.com platform.

51.
Upon information and belief, the mold used to create Anigans
menstrual cup, also known as the Eva Cup, (Anigans Cup) was designed and
manufactured in China.
52.
Upon further information and belief, Anigan purportedly owns the
897 Patent. Breloski Decl. 14, Exhibit 5.

53.
Upon further information and belief, Anigan filed intellectual
property complaints with Amazon concerning Plaintiffs Generic Cups. See emails from Amazon Seller Performance, titled Warning: Notice of Intellectual
16
Property Rights Infringement, attached as Breloski Decl. 20, Exhibit 11.

IX.
FILING AN INFRINGEMENT COMPLAINT WITH AMAZON

54.
The online complaint process at Amazon.com is streamlined and
straightforward. https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/reports/infringement
(last visited Nov. 23, 2016); Breloski Decl. 21, Exhibit 12. A purported rights
owner has to provide very little information to file a complaint and receive an
automated suspension of a sellers listing.
55.
In its entirety, the following information is the only information a
complainant has to submit to suspend a sellers listing, and possibly, its account:
17
56.
At the end of the form, a complainant makes the following
statements:
I have a good faith belief that the content(s) described above
violate(s) my rights described above or those held by the rights
owner, and that the use of such content(s) is contrary to law.
I declare, under penalty of perjury, that the information contained in
this notification is correct and accurate and that I am the owner or
18
agent of the owner of the rights described above.

Breloski Decl. 4.
57.
Amazon.com requires the rights owner to withdraw a complaint.
That is, a rights owner must send an e-mail from the complainants e-mail
address requesting to withdraw a complaint. Breloski Decl. 5.
58.
Often, should an accused seller provide original invoices, the rights
owner will withdraw a complaint. Breloski Decl. 6.

59.
Should a rights owner refuse to withdraw a complaint, the
Amazon.com sellers ASIN is locked so a seller cannot sell goods associated with
that ASIN. Breloski Decl. 7.
60.
Further, complaints may lead to account suspension. Breloski Decl.
61.
An account suspension is where Amazon locks a sellers account so
8.
that it cannot sell any item, even those unrelated to the ASIN complained of.
Breloski Decl. 9.

PLAINTIFFS PAST RESOLUTION EFFORTS

62.
In response to Defendants complaints (Breloski Decl. 20, Exhibit
11), Ferayco, through its counsel, drafted a letter and delivered to Anigan an
inquiry letter. See letter from Mr. Jeffrey Breloski, attorney for Plaintiffs, to
19
Anigan (Nov. 7, 2016)(Inquiry Letter), attached as Breloski Decl. 22, Exhibit

13.
63.
Specifically, Ferayco wanted to know what intellectual property
Anigan was asserting since it was not the named owner of any patent by
issuance or assignment. Id.
64.
Notably, the Inquiry Letter was drafted and sent on November 17,
2016, well before the Thanksgiving Holiday, Black Friday, 9 and Cyber Monday. 10
8F
65.
With the busy holiday shopping season beginning, Ferayco
respectfully requested a response no later than November 22, 2016. Id.

66.
Defendants failed to respond. Breloski Decl. 23.
67.
Feraycos suspensions spanned over the busy holiday shopping
season due to Defendants lack of good faith. Breloski Decl. 24.
The day After Thanksgiving (Friday) is known as Black Friday. This

also is unofficially or officially start of holiday shopping season.
Almost all stores come out with Doorbuster Sales with early bird
special to attract consumers to their stores. . . . Biggest sales day
now include Thanksgiving day, Green Monday and Cyber Monday.

Thanksgiving holiday in the United States.

9F
68.
Defendants forced Ferayco to approach Amazon.com for assistance
since complainant Anigan apparently filed a patent infringement report to

Amazon.com, but failed to respond in good faith. See, e.g., letter from Mr. Jeffrey
Breloski, counsel for Plaintiffs, to Amazon.com, Inc. Seller Performance and
Amazon Legal (Nov. 19, 2016), Breloski Decl. 25; Exhibit 14.
69.
Specifically, Ferayco respectfully requested that Amazon.com
dismiss Anigans complaints and take no adverse actions against Ferayco based
upon the allegedly bogus complaints. Id.
70.
In response to Feraycos letter to Amazon, Anigans attorney and
CEO, the Alleged Inventor, drafted response letters. See letter from Anigan to
Plaintiffs (undated), attached as Breloski Decl. 26; Exhibit 15; see also letter from
Mr. Leon Jew, attorney for Anigan, to Mr. Jeffrey Breloski, attorney for Plaintiffs
(Dec. 6, 2016), attached as Breloski Decl. 30; Exhibit 17.
71.
Significantly, upon information and belief, the Alleged Inventor is
not a registered patent attorney. Accordingly, she makes many mistakes of law
in her letter. For example, when conducting her alleged infringement analysis,
the Alleged Inventor makes a fatal mistake. That is, she compare Anigans Cup
to Plaintiffs Generic Cup. This is in error because the Federal Circuit has made
it clear that infringement analysis requires one to compare the patented design to
21
the accused design. Egyptian Goddess, Inc. v. Swisa, Inc., 543 F.3d 665, 676-77 (Fed.
Cir. 2008)(comparing the claimed and accused designs)(emphasis added).
72.
Additionally, the Alleged Inventor downplays the significance of a
lack of holes in the 897 Patent, but appearing in the Generic Cups. The Alleged
Inventor admits that the 897 Patent lacks any holes; however, that holes are
inherent to the inventions functionality. See Exhibit 15 (The existence of the 4
holes are not claimed in the 897 design patent, but are present for the
functionality of the product.). Not only is Defendant wrong, she fails to provide
any citation to authority that supports her argument.
73.
Significantly, Anigans attorney offers a license. See Exhibit 17 (If
your client would make an offer for a patent license, please let me know and I
will be happy to help in the matter.).
74.
Plaintiffs attorney requested licensing terms. However, Anigans
attorney failed to respond. Breloski Decl. 31.

75.
To date, Amazon.com has not withdrawn any complaints. Breloski
Decl. 27.
76.
To date, Anigan refuses to withdraw any complaints. Breloski Decl.
77.
Upon information and belief Defendants have attempted to
28.
22
eliminate their competition by utilizing the online Amazon infringement report

and cease and desist letters to intimidate competitors and force them to stop
competing without any non-judicial recourse.
XI.
EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES
A. Anigans Complaint Timing

78.
The bogus complainants timing relative to Black Friday is no mere
coincidence. Upon information and belief, it filed the complaints a week before
Black Friday to disrupt Plaintiffs operations and prevent them from selling on
one of the busiest days for Amazon sellers.
79.
With less than a week to Black Friday, Plaintiffs require immediate
80.
Amazon.com will not withdraw any complaint.
81.
Anigan is the only entity that may withdraw the false complaint
relief.
filed and restore Plaintiffs privileges.

82.
Despite being false complaints, Anigan refuses to withdraw the
complaints.
B. DEFENDANTS DEALINGS WITH ITS MANUFACTURER
83.
The ShenZhen ZhongTuoFu Technology Co, LTD (Shenzhen
Tech) supplied Defendants with Eva Cups mold. Declaration of Ms. Yan Fang
23
Tuo (Tuo Decl.) 14, Exhibit 3.

84.
Defendant Ai Chen Teo, aka Sarah, was always intimidating and
very overpowering when dealing with Shenzhen Tech and Ms. Tuo. Tuo Decl.
9, 18.
85.
Ms. Tuo made the menstrual cup mold, which is the basis for US
Design Patent No. 760,897, and sold it to Anigan. Tuo Decl. 19.
86.
The Alleged Inventor asked that Shenzhen Tech make samples of
the menstrual cup according to Shenzhen Techs design, so that the Alleged
Inventor could take the samples back to the United States and market test them.
Tuo Decl. 14, Exhibit 3.
87.
The Alleged Inventor asked Ms. Tuo to refrain from showing
Shenzhen Techs cup to anyone. Tuo Decl. 14, Exhibit 3. The Alleged Inventor
also asked Shenzhen Tech to not sell the cup to anyone because Anigan intended
to purchase the mould. Tuo Decl. 14, Exhibit 3.
88.
The Alleged Inventor then came back and asked to purchase the
Shenzhen Techs design mold, which Shenzhen Tech agreed.

89.
The Alleged Inventor made a deposit of $1,000 to Shenzhen Tech on
or about July 1, 2014. Tuo Decl. 12, 14, Exhibits 1, 2.

90.
Shenzhen Tech and the Alleged Inventor reduced their agreement to
24
writing. See Mold Design and Manufacturing Contract attached as Exhibit 1 to

the Declaration of Ms. Yi Hui Chang, 6 (Chang Decl. ); see also Chang Decl.
7, Exhibit 2 (English Translation); Tuo Decl. 17, Exhibit 6.
91.
The Alleged Inventor added additional terms to the proposed
contract between her and Ms. Tuo. Tuo Decl. 15, 16, Exhibits 4, 5.
C. THE ALLEGED INVENTORS FRAUD ON THE USPTO
92.
In applying for the 897 Patent, the Alleged Inventor made a
declaration to the USPTO that she invented the design. See 897 Patent Image
File Wrapper, p. 83 (I believe that I am the original inventor or an original joint
inventor of a claimed invention in the application.), attached as Breloski Decl.
29; Exhibit 16; see also 35 U.S.C. 25 (Declaration in lieu of oath).
93.
The rightful inventor of the 897 Patent, Yan Fang Tuo, did not apply
for nor received credit as an inventor for the 897 Patent. Tuo Decl. 20
(Anigan and Ms. Ai Chen Teo did not assist in creating the menstrual cup
mold.).
94.
Importantly, a fraudulent statement, such as claiming to be an
inventor when not, is punishable as a criminal offense under Title 18 of the US

Code
Statements or entries generally.
25
Whoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of any department or

agency of the United States knowingly and willfully falsifies,
conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a material fact,
or makes any false, fictitious or fraudulent statements or
representations, or makes or uses any false writing or document
knowing the same to contain any false, fictitious or fraudulent
statement or entry, shall be fined not more than $10,000 or
imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

XII.
COUNT I: Declaratory Judgment of Non-infringement and Invalidity

95.
Plaintiffs re-allege the foregoing relevant paragraphs of this
Complaint as if set forth in full herein.

96.
Pursuant to the Declaratory Judgment Act, 28 U.S.C. 2201,
Plaintiffs are entitled to and hereby move the Court for a judgment declaring
that:
A. the Generic Cups do not and have not infringed on any valid and
enforceable claim of 897 Patent, directly or indirectly, by inducement or
contributory infringement, literally or under the doctrine of equivalents;
and
B. the sole claim of the 897 Patent is invalid for failure to comply with one or
more requirements for patentability under the patent laws of the United
States, including, but not limited to, 35 U.S.C. 101, 102, 103, 112, 113, 115
and/or 116.
26
97.
As a result of Defendants allegations of infringement against the
Plaintiffs, threats of litigation, and representations to Amazon.com that the

Generic Cups infringe the 897 Patent, an actual controversy exists as to
infringement of the 897 Patent.
98.
Plaintiffs are entitled to a declaratory judgment that Plaintiffs are not
directly, indirectly, contributorily infringe the 897 Patent; that Plaintiffs have not
actively induced others to infringe any claim of the 897 Patent; and that the
single claim of the 897 Patent is invalid for failure to comply with one or more
requirements for patentability under that patent laws of the United States.
99.
Defendants conduct in this action is exceptional, and Plaintiffs are
entitled to their attorneys fees and costs pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 285.

XIII.
COUNT II: Defendants Tortious Interference with Business

Relationships
100.

101.
In an effort to interfere with the Plaintiffs economic relations,
Defendants contacted Amazon.com to allege that Plaintiffs were infringing the

897 Patent.
102.
Upon information and belief, Defendants knew and intended that by
making such an allegation, Amazon.com would immediately remove the

27
Plaintiffs listings from its website and prohibit Plaintiffs from selling the Generic
Cups until the allegation of infringement was resolved.
103.
Upon further information and belief, Defendants know that
Amazon.com will not withdraw complaints against the Plaintiffs unless

Defendants affirmatively withdraw the complaints.
104.
Defendants allegation of patent infringement by Plaintiffs to
Amazon.com was knowingly false, was an improper means, and was done with
the intent to interfere with the Plaintiffs current and prospective economic
relations.
105.
Despite its knowledge, Defendants failure to act in good faith
have caused damages to Plaintiffs business relationships with Amazon.com

and their customers.
106.
As a direct and proximate result of Defendants actions, Plaintiffs
have been damaged in an amount to be determined at trial.

107.
Defendants have acted in objective and subjective bad faith by
having a wrongful complaint filed in their name and refusing to withdraw

them.
108.
Defendants have intentionally interfered with Plaintiffs
business relationships with Amazon.com and their customers, especially
28
during a high volume selling season.

XIV.
COUNT III: The Alleged Inventors Fraud

109.

110.
Upon information and belief, the Alleged Inventor made a
representation of fact. That is, that she invented the design contained in US
Patent Appln. No. 29/503,441.
111.
Upon information and belief, the Alleged Inventor knew her
declaration was false in that Shenzhen Tech actually designed the invention.
112.
Upon information and belief, based on the materiality of the Alleged
Inventors statement, the USPTO granted the 897 Patent.

113.
Upon information and belief, the Alleged Inventor intended to
misrepresent the true inventors identity because without her misrepresentation,

she would not be able to gain registration.
114.
Upon information and belief, the Alleged Inventors
misrepresentation extends to her complaints made to Amazon.com concerning

Plaintiffs.
115.
Upon information and belief, Plaintiffs have suffered exceptional
damages due to the Alleged Inventors deceit.
29
XV.
COUNT IV: Breach of Contract

116.

117.
The Mold Design and Manufacturing Contract executed and entered
into by Defendants is a binding and enforceable contract.

118.
Plaintiff ShenZhen ZhongTuoFu Technology Co, LTD has fully
performed all of its obligations under the Mold Design and Manufacturing
Contract, such that it is entitled to pursue relief for Defendants breaches of the
same.
119.
Upon information and belief, Defendants failed to pay according to
the terms and conditions set forth in the Mold Design and Manufacturing
Contract.
120.
Plaintiff ShenZhen ZhongTuoFu Technology Co, LTD has suffered
as a result of Defendants breach.

PRAYER FOR RELIEF
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs pray that this Court

On or about November 16, 2016, Luna Cup received a warning from
Amazon.coms Seller Performance Team. We understand that you filed an
intellectual property infringement report concerning

Alternative for Collecting Menstruation Flow, Set of 2 + FREE bag by Luna Cup 1

Amazon Policy Violation Performance Notification, Attachment 1. As a result of

your complaint, Luna Cups listing changed to inactive. Id. This status remains
until Luna Cup and you resolve the concern. Id.
ANIGANS ALLEGED PATENT
We understand that the basis for the complaint is patent infringement. Id.
As a registered patent attorney, Ive researched registered patents and
assignments for registered patents, but could not find any patent owned or
assigned to Anigan. 2 For your convenience, I have attached a patent search for
Anigan that produced no results. Attachment 2. Similarly, a search of the
USPTO assignment database produced no results for Anigan. Attachment 3.
Consequently, we do not believe that you have a proper basis to claim patent
infringement.
1F
RELEVANT LAW
As a threshold issue, Anigan lacks standing to assert any US patent. That
is, since Anigan does not have sufficient ownership interest in any patents,
Anigan may not assert infringement claims against our client. Nonetheless, you
have alleged patent infringement against our client. Courts consider such an
assertion to be in bad faith, which opens a party to several adverse actions.

The essential issue regarding the right to sue on a patent is who owns the
patent. Aspex Eyewear, Inc. v. Miracle Optics, Inc., 434 F.3d 1336, 1341 (Fed. Cir.
2006). Consequently, the Patent Act requires that a suit for infringement of
patent rights ordinarily be brought by a party holding legal title to the patent.
Propat Intl Corp. v. Rpost, Inc., 473 F.3d 1187, 1189 (Fed. Cir. 2007) (citing 35
U.S.C. 100, 281). A plaintiff asserting patent infringement must demonstrate
that it held enforceable title to the patent at the inception of the lawsuit to assert
standing. Abraxis, 625 F.3d at 1364 (quoting Paradise Creations, Inc. v. UV Sales,
Inc., 315 F.3d 1304, 1309-310 (Fed. Cir. 2003)). [I]f the original plaintiff lacked
Article III initial standing, the suit must be dismissed, and the jurisdictional
defect cannot be cured after the inception of the lawsuit. Id. (quoting Schreiber
Foods, Inc. v. Beatrice Cheese, Inc., 402 F.3d 1198, 1203 (Fed. Cir. 2005)).
Anigan does not own any US patent. Consequently, Anigan lacks a basis
to file a patent complaint and also lacks standing to assert any patent.
As a result of Anigans actions, several adverse events may occur.
Rule 60(b)(3) - Rule 60(b)(3) provides that a court may relieve a
party from a judgment if the judgment was obtained by the adverse
partys fraud . . ., misrepresentation, or other misconduct. FED. R.
CIV. P. 60(b)(3). Under Rule 60(b)(3), both intentional and
unintentional misrepresentations and failures to disclose are a
sufficient basis for relief. 12 James Wm. Moore et al., Moores Federal
Practice 60.43[1][a] (3d ed. 2003); see also Lonsdorf v. Seefeldt, 47 F.3d
893, 897 (7th Cir.1995). Here, Anigan misrepresents that it has
enough rights in a US patent to assert it against our client.
35 U.S.C. 285 - Section 285 of the Patent Act authorizes a district
court to award attorneys fees in patent litigation. It provides that
[t]he court in exceptional cases may award reasonable attorney fees
to the prevailing party. 35 U.S.C. 285. The Supreme Court
recently changed the standard for what it means for a case to be
exceptional in Octane Fitness, LLC v. ICON Health & Fitness, Inc.,
134 S. Ct. 1749 (2014). The Supreme Court essentially made it easier
for courts to make the loser pay for all attorney costs, if the lawsuit is
regarded as frivolous. Id. In the instant case, Anigan doesnt have

standing, but it filed its Amazon.com complaint with Seller

Performance anyway.
USPTO Form AO 120 Should Anigan file a lawsuit, a district court
will send a Form AO 120 (Report on the Filing or Determination of
an Action Regarding a Patent or Trademark) to the United States
Patent and Trademark Office. See 35 U.S.C. 290. In such a lawsuit,
we will challenge the validity and enforceability of any patent.

baseless claims, we may consider sending all relevant evidence of

ASIN: B015OXQDJO
Dear sir or madam:

This firm proudly serves as intellectual property and litigation counsel for
Luna Cup Amazon storefront and its owner, Ms. Yi Hui Chang (collectively,
Luna Cup).
On November 15, 2016, Luna Cup received a notice of infringement
concerning its Menstrual Cup offerings (Accused Cup) on Amazon.com.
Based on the suspension and the provided complainants e-mail address, Luna
Cup believed Anigan Inc. (Anigan or complainant) filed an Amazon
infringement report against it.
While Anigan owns a design patent, we are confident that the design
patent is invalid due to anticipation and obviousness. Further, even if the design
patent is valid, we are confident that the Accused Cup does not infringe.
While our client explores options such as declaratory relief in federal court
and inter partes review before the United States Patent Trial and Appeal Board
(PTAB), our client requires immediate action to sell its Accused Cups in the
week preceding Black Friday.

THIS FIRMS
GOOD FAITH EFFORTS TO RESOLVE
Our client has attempted to resolve Anigans dispute. For example, our
client hired this firm to contact Anigan via the e-mail address provided by
Amazon.com, sarah@anigan.com. Id. That is, on November 17, 2016, we asked
for details concerning Anigans alleged infringement allegation. See letter from
Mr. Jeff Breloski, attorney for ATLawip LLC, to Anigan Inc. (Nov. 17, 2016),
Attachment 2. More importantly, our client sought to resolve amicably the issue.
Id.
Anigan timely replied with the identification of a design patent.
Attachments 3 (e-mail) & 4 (US Design Patent No. 760,897)(897 Patent).
However, it failed to respond to our requests, most notably, how our Accused
Cup infringes the 897 Patent.
THE COMPLAINANTS TIMING
The complainants timing relative to Black Friday is no mere coincidence.
Upon information and belief, it filed the complaint a week before Black Friday to
disrupt our clients operations and prevent it from selling on one of the busiest
days for Amazon sellers. This timing is supported by the fact that our client has
offered and sold the Accused Cups without complainants interference for over
12 months prior to the abovementioned complaint. 1
0F
With a week to Black Friday, Luna Cup doesnt have enough time to
receive relief through a federal court or the PTAB.
We recognize that the 897 Patent registered on July 5, 2016; however, the patentee had
provisional rights.

INVALIDITY POSITIONS
In order to obtain a patent, the invention must be both novel and
unobvious. Here, the 897 Patent fails to meet both prerequisites.
Lack of Novelty. An invention is novel if it has not been publicly
disclosed in a single piece of prior art, such as in a patent, printed publication, or
product sold on the market. In general, 35 USC 102 explains the novelty
requirement -

A person shall be entitled to a patent unless (a) the invention was known or used by others in this country, or
patented or described in a printed publication in this or a foreign

(b) the invention was patented or described in a printed publication
in this or a foreign country or in public use or on sale in this country,
more than one year prior to the date of the application for patent in
the United States,
or . . .
....
. . . (d) the invention was first patented or caused to be patented, or
was the subject of an inventors certificate, by the applicant or his
legal representatives or assigns in a foreign country prior to the date
of the application for patent in this country on an application for
patent or inventors certificate filed more than twelve months before
the filing of the application in the United States,

LUNACUP000056-60. Specifically, the USPTO informed the applicant
The patent examiner ordered new sheets to comply with the Patent Act.
Attachment 5 at LUNACUP000055-61. The 897 Patent applicant submitted
replacement drawings. Attachment 5 at LUNACUP000042-51. Nonetheless, the
patent examiner still made a final rejection as to the patent application.
Attachment 5 at LUNACUP000033-41.
After the final rejection, the applicant tried again with replacement
drawings. Attachment 5 at LUNACUP000021-32. This time, the examiner
accepted the drawings and cited an additional prior art reference. Attachment 5
at LUNACUP000008.
Design patent anticipation requires a showing that a single prior art
reference is identical in all material respects to the claimed invention. High

Compare the 113 Patent (left) with 897 Patent, Fig. 2 (right).
Obvious. To be patentable, the invention disclosed in the 897 Patent must
also be non-obvious. 35 USC 103 provides the conditions for patentability
(a) A patent may not be obtained though the invention is not
identically disclosed or described as set forth in section 102 of this
title, if the differences between the subject matter sought to be
patented and the prior art are such that the subject matter as a whole
would have been obvious at the time the invention was made to a
person having ordinary skill in the art to which said subject matter
pertains. Patentability shall not be negatived by the manner in which
the invention was made.
35 U.S.C. 103 Conditions for patentability; non-obvious subject matter.

NON-INFRINGEMENT POSITION
Even if a federal court or the PTAB finds the 897 Patent valid, our clients
Accused Cup does not infringe it.
Infringement of design patents is judged by the same test as anticipation
whether two designs are substantially the same. Id. at 641 (citing Egyptian

Goddess, 543 F.3d at 678 (adopting test set forth in Gorham, 81 U.S. at 528 as sole
test for design patent infringement)).
Under Egyptian Goddess, and as applied to the instant facts, where the
claimed and accused designs are sufficiently distinct and plainly dissimilar,
the patentee does not meet its burden of proving infringement. High Point Design
LLC v. Buyers Direct, Inc., 621 Fed. Appx. 632, 641, 2015 U.S. App. LEXIS 13621,
*15 (Fed. Cir. 2015). The patented design is seen below.

Importantly, to overcome the prior art, the 897 Patent applicant included
vertical ribs in its design. See Attachment 5 at LUNACUP000057 (Element (A)
vertical ribs are shown in Fig. 1 but not in Fig(s). 2, 3, and 5 making the drawing
views inconsistent.).
For this reason alone, the Accused Cups do not infringe because they lack
any vertical ribs, let alone four.

However, several additional features demonstrate how plainly dissimilar
the 897 Patent is to the Accused Cup. For instance, the Accused Cup has four
holes near the top of the Accused Cup, while that of the 897 Patent has none.
There are two groups of horizontal lines below the rim in the 897 Patent, but
there is only one group of horizontal lines below the rim on the Accused Cup.
Finally, there are no measurement lines in the 897 Patent, but there are on the
Accused Cup.
897 Patent, Fig. 4.

As noted in so many design patent cases, the 897 Patent and the Accused
Cup are plainly dissimilar such that an ordinary consumer would not be
induced into purchas[ing] one supposing it to be the other. Silverman v. Attilio
Giusti Leombruni S.P.A., 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 20775, *1-7 (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 19, 2016);

App. LEXIS 13621, *16 (Fed. Cir. 2015).
Consequently, even if a tribunal finds the 897 Patent valid, our client
certainly did not and does not infringe the 897 Patent.

RE: Luna Cup and Anigans Patent
Dear Mr. Breloski:
This is a response to your November 20, 2016 letter addressed to Anigan, Inc.
US Design Patent No. 760,897 (897 Patent) was issued to Ms. Ai Chen Teo who grants Anigan,
Inc. a license to make, sell and distribute the patented product.
Anigan Inc. has a reasonable belief based on the evidence collected so far that Luna Cups is
infringing on the 897 Patent for the reasons set forth below.
Page
A claimed design may be rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102 when the invention is anticipated (or is
not novel) over a disclosure that is available as prior art. In design patent applications, the
factual inquiry in determining anticipation over a prior art reference is the same as in utility
patent applications. That is, the reference must be identical in all material respects. Hupp v.
Siroflex of America Inc., 122 F.3d 1456, 43 USPQ2d 1887 (Fed. Cir. 1997). For anticipation to
be found, the claimed design and the prior art design must be substantially the same. DoorMaster Corp. v. Yorktowne, Inc., 256 F.3d 1308, 1313, 59__ USPQ2d 1472 __, 1475__ (Fed. Cir.
2001) (citing Gorham Mfg. Co. v. White,81 U.S. 511, 528 (1871)).
MPEP 1504.02 Novelty states:
In International Seaway Trading Corp. v. Walgreens Corp., 589 F.3d 1233, 1239-40, 93
USPQ2d 1001, 1005 (Fed. Cir. 2009), the Federal Circuit held that the ordinary observer test is
the sole test for anticipation. Under the ordinary observer test, which originated in the
infringement context, if, in the eye of an ordinary observer, giving such attention as a
purchaser usually gives, two designs are substantially the same, if the resemblance is such as to
deceive such an observer, inducing him to purchase one supposing it to be the other, the first one
patented is infringed by the other. Gorham, 81 U.S. at 528. An en banc panel of the Federal
Circuit refined the ordinary observer test in Egyptian Goddess by characterizing the ordinary
observer as being deemed to view the differences between the patented design and the accused
product in the context of the prior art. Seaway, 589 F.3d at 1239-40, 93 USPQ2d at 1005,
quoting Egyptian Goddess Inc. v. Swissa Inc., 543 F.3d 665, 676, 88 USPQ2d 1658, 1666-67
(Fed. Cir. 2008) (en banc). The court explained that when the claimed design is close to the
prior art designs, small differences between the accused design and the claimed design are likely
to be important to the eye of the hypothetical ordinary observer. Id.
Furthermore, in 2010, the Federal Circuit decided Crocs v. ITC, regarding Crocs patented shoe
design and ITCs similar shoe configuration, featuring slightly different hole shapes and
arrangement and a modified toe box.[17] The court found that ITC had infringed on Crocs
design patent, stating that . . . minor differences between a patented design and an accused
articles design cannot, and shall not, prevent a finding of infringement.[18]
The existence of the 4 holes described in the correspondence by Mr. Jeffrey T. Breloski are not
claimed in the 897 design patent, but are present for the functionality of the product. Both the
Page
By using the case of Croc vs. Itc example above, it is of the opinion of Anigan Inc. that the
differences indicated in the correspondence by Jeffrey T. Breloski Esq are minor differences that
the ordinary observer would find indistinguishable. The vertical ribs that are described in the
correspondence by Jeffrey T. Breloski were present from the original submission when the
design patent 897 was filed with the USPTO. Measurement indicators are also present on both
EvaCup and Luna Cup.
Luna Cup and 897 patent products have the holes at the same location for functionality. The
height, weight, and appearance appear to be the same as well as both products were purchased
and placed side by side for comparison purposes.
EvaCup Patent 897
Luna Cup
Additionally, for informational purposes, and to identify for Mr. Jeffrey Breloski how similar the
products are, many of the pertinent features that are identical between EvaCup and LunaCup,
have been identified below:
1
2
-The dome shape finish at the top of both designs (1)
-The circular stems designs are identical (2).

-Identical Stem Length
-Identical circular grasp texture and lines for both designs (2).
In addition,

3
-The rounded rims are identical (3).
-The seam locations are identical (4).
-The curve transition between the rim and first level wall are identical (5).
From the MPEP 1504.02 Novelty (Con/t.):

The ordinary observer test requires consideration of the design as a whole. See Seaway, 589 F.3d
at 1243, 93 USPQ2d at 1008; Egyptian Goddess, 543 F.3d at 677, 88 USPQ2d __1667. In
applying the ordinary observer test, determine whether the deception that arises is a result of
the similarities in the overall design not of similarities in ornamental features in isolation.
See Richardson v. Stanley Works Inc., 93 USPQ2d 1937, 1941 (Fed. Cir. 2010), citing Amini
Innovation Corp. v. Anthony California Inc., 439 F.3d 1365, 1371 [78 USPQ2d 1147, 1151] (Fed.
Cir. 2006) (holding that the overall infringement test is not to be converted to an element-byelement comparison when factoring out the functional aspects of various design elements). The
mandated overall comparison is a comparison taking into account significant differences
between the two designs, not minor or trivial differences that necessarily exist between any two
designs that are not exact copies of one another. Seaway, 589 F.3d at 1243, 93 USPQ2d at 1008.
Just as minor differences between a patented design and an accused article's design cannot, and
shall not, prevent a finding of infringement, so too minor differences cannot prevent a finding of
anticipation. Id. (internal quotation marks omitted).
The case involved three different competing bench designs.

In the case of Victory Stanley v. Creative Pipe by the District of Maryland in 2011, further
reasoning is presented as to Anigan Inc. has reason to believe that Luna Cups infringes on the
EvaCup Patent.
Therefore, it is of the opinion of Anigan Inc. that the minor differences indicated in the
correspondence by Jeffrey T. Breloski, Esq are minor differences that the ordinary observer
would find indistinguishable. In other words, the observations made by Mr. Jeffrey T.
Breloski are NOT significant differences between the two designs.
The Patented Design featured arching handrails and uniquely shaped feet. The two competitors,
Nebilli and Chipman produced very similar bench designs.
The decision of the court was that Nebilli bench (pictured below) was substantially
indistinguishable to an ordinary observer, and infringed the patented design.
However, the Chipman design bench did not infringe. The Court stated that, the overall effect of
the design with the oval below the seat, while certainly taking advantage of the graceful curves
designed into the patented design creates a different and distinctive look that would not confuse
the ordinary observer.

Furthermore, from the website: https://www.anigan.com/pages/EvaCup-faqs, the EvaCup is

perfectly safe to use. EvaCup is manufactured in the US and FDA registered. It is made of 100%
high-quality FDA approved medical grade silicone, contains no chemicals or heavy metals, and
is highly unlikely to cause an allergic reaction. Make sure to clean it properly and sterilize it
In the opinion of the Anigan Inc. and its owner, the features of the 897 Patent are
indistinguishable to an ordinary observer when placed side by side to Luna Cups product.
before and after every use to avoid any infections. Also, wash your hand when handling the
product.
The Luna Cup does not appear to be FDA registered and there is no indication if the product uses
heavy metals, or chemicals in the manufacturing process. Furthermore, it appears that Luna Cup
was not manufactured by an FDA registered facility. Manufacturers of products selling in the
U.S.A. must comply with the list of items in the website below including registering the product
in the U.S.A. If Luna Cup wishes to provide evidence of support to show their product is FDA
registered, this particular point can be cleared from the argument.

Furthermore from MPEP 1504.02:
Anticipation does not require that the claimed design and the prior art be from analogous arts. In
re Glavas, 230 F.2d 447, 450, 109 USPQ 50, 52 (CCPA 1956). It is true that the use to which
an article is to be put has no bearing on its patentability as a design and that if the prior art
discloses any article of substantially the same appearance as that of an applicant, it is immaterial
what the use of such article is. Accordingly, so far as anticipation by a single prior art disclosure
is concerned, there can be no question as to nonanalogous art in design cases. Id. (internal
quotation marks omitted).
When a claim is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102 as being unpatentable over prior art, those features
of the design which are functional and/or hidden during end use may not be relied upon to
support patentability. See In re Cornwall, 230 F.2d 447, 109 USPQ 57 (CCPA 1956); Jones v.
Progress Ind. Inc., 119 USPQ 92 (D. R.I. 1958). Further, in a rejection of a claim
under 35 U.S.C. 102, mere differences in functional considerations do not negate a finding of
anticipation when determining design patentability. See Black & Decker, Inc. v. Pittway
Corp., 636 F.2d 1193, 231 USPQ 252 (N.D. Ill. 1986).

The 897 Patent overcame the prior art of Chalmers and shares the market with other menstrual
products. If a court used the Chalmers Product to aid in the decision of infringement when
comparing Luna Cups and EvaCup, Anigan Inc. is of the opinion that the Luna Cups and
EvaCup are substantially indistinguishable AND EvaCup is distinguishable from Chalmers prior
It is not necessary for the examiner to cite or apply prior art to show that functional and/or
hidden features are old in the art as long as the examiner has properly relied on evidence to
support the prima facie lack of ornamentality of these individual features. If applicant wishes to
rely on functional or hidden features as a basis for patentability, the same standard for
establishing ornamentality under 35 U.S.C. 171 must be applied before these features can be
given any patentable weight.
art. The Chalmers patent is a utility patent claiming functionality whereas the 897 is a design
patent claiming ornamental design. There is the EvaCup design 897 patent to prove it.
Based on the foregoing, it is more likely than not that a reasonable jury or the trial judge in a
patent infringement case in the US District Court would rule that the 897 patent be infringed by
several manufacturers cups, including your clients Luna Cup, that are substantially identical to
the EvaCup.
If your client would make an offer for a patent license, please let me know and I will be happy to
help in the matter.
Sincerely,

Negative reviews damage a Sellers brand name and kill sales

Amazon.com Inc. takes intellectual property infringement cases

seriously. As such, it automatically suspends a Sellers offering if a complaint is

In some cases, Amazon not only suspends an accused offering, it

also suspends an accused Sellers entire account regardless of whether the
