COMPLAINT
Case3:15-cv-01429 Document1 Filed03/27/15 Page2 of 10

1 Plaintiff Kenu, Inc. (“Kenu”), for its Complaint alleges as follows:


2 1. Kenu is a San Francisco company that specializes in combining technology, art and
3 design in creating mobile phone products and accessories. One such product is a portable hands free
4 in-car mount for mobile or smartphone devices that attaches to any car air vent (hereafter
5 “AIRFRAMETM”). Kenu’s AIRFRAMETM met immediate success for its elegant design and
6 superior functionality over traditional car mounts that are often bulky or rely on adhesives, which
7 detach over time. Seeking to capitalize on Kenu’s success, competitors have recently begun copying
8 Kenu’s innovative design and distinctive AIRFRAMETM trade dress to “free ride” on the efforts of
9 Kenu. This action seeks to remedy the unauthorized sale of one such knock-off product sold as the
10 “Vent Mount.”
11 THE PARTIES
12 2. Kenu is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Delaware and having
13 a place of business at 560 Alabama Street, San Francisco, California 94110.
14 3. Defendant Belkin International, Inc. (“Belkin”) is a corporation organized under the
15 laws of Delaware and having a place of business at 12045 East Waterfront Drive, Playa Vista,
16 California 90094, with business activities throughout the world and on the World Wide Web
17 including at www.belkin.com.
18 4. Kenu does not know the true names and capacities of DOES 1 through 10, inclusive,
19 and therefore sues them by these fictitious names. When the true names and capacities are
20 discovered for these DOE defendants, Kenu will seek to amend this Complaint to allege the true
21 names and capacities in lieu of the fictitious names. Kenu is informed and believes that each of the
22 fictitiously named defendants is responsible in some manner for the occurrences alleged in this
23 Complaint.
24 5. On information and belief, defendants are, and at all times mentioned herein were, the
25 alter egos, parents, subsidiaries, agents, partners, associates, joint-venturers, servants, employees,
26 and/or other authorized representatives of each other, and in doing the things herein alleged were
27 acting within the course and scope of their authority, agency, and employment, and with the
28 knowledge, consent, and approval of their fellow defendants.

COMPLAINT
Case3:15-cv-01429 Document1 Filed03/27/15 Page3 of 10

1 JURISDICTION
2 6. This is a civil action seeking damages and injunctive relief for patent infringement,
3 trade dress infringement, unfair competition under California Business and Professions Code
4 § 17200 et seq., and common law unfair competition.
5 7. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1331, this Court has federal subject matter jurisdiction over
6 Kenu’s claims for patent and trade dress infringement. Further, this Court has subject matter
7 jurisdiction pursuant to the following statutes: 28 U.S.C. § 1338(a) (Acts of Congress relating to
8 patents); 15 U.S.C. § 1121 et seq. (the Lanham Act); and 28 U.S.C. § 1367 (a) (supplemental
9 jurisdiction over state and common-law claims).
10 8. The Northern District of California has personal jurisdiction over Belkin because,
11 among other things, Belkin maintains its corporate headquarters in California, Belkin is engaged in
12 wrongful conduct within the state of California and in this District, including placing into commerce
13 infringing goods via Belkin’s websites including at www.belkin.com and through retailers, and
14 infringing upon Kenu’s patent and trade dress rights in this judicial district. Belkin has maintained
15 substantial, continuous, and systematic contacts with the state of California through its business
16 dealings and activities within and with residents of the state of California. Belkin’s conduct causes
17 injury to and is directed at Kenu and its intellectual property in the state of California and this
18 District. But for Belkin’s conduct, Kenu would not have suffered damage.
19 VENUE AND INTRADISTRICT ASSIGNMENT
20 9. Venue is proper within this District under 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b) and (c) because Belkin
21 transacts business within this District and offers for sale in this District products that infringe Kenu’s
22 intellectual property rights. Pursuant to Local Rule 3-2(c), intellectual property actions are assigned
23 on a district-wide basis.
24 FACTS APPLICABLE TO ALL CLAIMS
25 10. Kenu is a successful mobile phone accessory business that designs, develops, and
26 distributes artistic and functional mobile phone accessories that are one of a kind in today’s
27 marketplace. One such product by Kenu is the AIRFRAMETM, a portable hands free in-car mount
28 for mobile devices.

1 11. Representative images of Kenu’s AIRFRAMETM are provided below:


2

6 12. The AIRFRAMETM was released in 2013 and has already received acclaim for the

7 utility and elegant design. The AIRFRAMETM is sold through numerous merchandisers, retailers,

8 and stores nationwide, including Apple Stores, Target, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Staples, to name just a

9 few. Kenu also markets and sells its AIRFRAMETM product on the Internet, including through its

10 website located at www.kenu.com.

11 13. In addition to its common law rights, Kenu sought protection for its intellectual

12 property rights associated with the AIRFRAMETM product by filing for a patent.

13 14. On October 1, 2013, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued United

14 States Patent No. US D690,707 (the “’707 patent”), entitled “Dashboard Vent Mount for an

15 Electronic Device,” for a portable hands free in-car mount for mobile devices. See attached

16 Exhibit A.

17 15. Representative Figures from Kenu’s patent are referenced below:

22 16. On December 11, 2012, the inventors of the ‘707 patent, Kenneth Minn and David E.

23 Yao, assigned all of their patent rights in the ‘707 patent to Kenu, which has continuously held the

24 rights to the ‘707 patent since that date.

25 17. The trade dress associated with Kenu’s AIRFRAMETM product is distinctive, non-

26 functional, and is owned by Kenu.

27 18. The trade dress associated with Kenu’s AIRFRAMETM product signifies the source of

28 the AIRFRAMETM product to its customers.

COMPLAINT
Case3:15-cv-01429 Document1 Filed03/27/15 Page5 of 10

1 19. As a result of considerable efforts, Kenu’s customers, and the general public, have
2 come to recognize Kenu as an established and successful mobile phone accessory business.
3 20. Kenu’s AIRFRAMETM product is one of a kind.
4 21. Kenu’s AIRFRAMETM product is manufactured with high quality materials designed

8 23. AIRFRAMETM is Kenu’s most sought after and sold product.
9 24. Kenu makes substantial revenue from the AIRFRAMETM product.
10 25. In or about late 2014, Belkin introduced its Vent Mount product, which competes
11 with Kenu’s AIRFRAMETM in the market for portable hands free in-car mounts for mobile or
12 smartphone devices.
13 26. On information and belief, Belkin manufactures and/or imports, or causes to be
14 manufactured and/or imported the Vent Mount product into the United States and the Northern
15 District of California.
16 27. On information and belief, Belkin owns, controls, and/or manages the website at

20 third parties including at the following URLs:
21 a. http://amzn.com/B00O5JARCI;

24 d. http://www.frys.com/product/8331667.
25 29. On information and belief, Belkin markets and advertises the Vent Mount product
26 throughout the United States and in the Northern District of California using advertisements such as

11 offered for sale, and sold by Belkin.

12 33. The Vent Mount violates Kenu’s trade dress rights in its AIRFRAMETM product by

13 causing confusion among ordinary consumers as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or approval

14 of Kenu’s AIRFRAMETM product.
