`
`JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`COMPLAINT FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF AND DAMAGES
`
`Plaintiff Sound United, LLC d/b/a Denon, Polk Audio, Marantz, Definitive Technology,
`
`Heos, Boston Acoustics, and Classé (“Sound United” or “Plaintiff”), as and for its Complaint
`
`against Defendant Amazon Seller “Amazing Deals Online” (“Defendant”), alleges upon personal
`
`knowledge as to its own acts and as to events taking place in its presence, and upon information
`
`and belief as to all other facts, as follows:
`
`NATURE OF THIS ACTION
`
`1.
`
`Sound United seeks injunctive relief and monetary damages for Defendant’s
`
`trademark infringement under the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1051, et seq., as well as related state
`
`law claims arising from Defendant’s improper sale of Sound United Products, use of trademarks
`
`owned and used by Sound United, and unfair and deceptive business practices.
`
`2.
`
`As described in more detail below, Defendant has and continues to sell materially
`
`different Sound United products through online commerce sites, including, but not limited to,
`
`Amazon.com. Defendant’s conduct has produced and, unless enjoined by this Court, will
`
`
`
`
`
`Case 1:19-cv-12542-IT Document 1 Filed 12/18/19 Page 2 of 17
`
`
`
`continue to produce a likelihood of consumer confusion and deception, to the irreparable injury
`
`of Sound United.
`
`3.
`
`As a result of Defendant’s actions, Sound United is suffering a loss of the
`
`enormous goodwill that Sound United has created in its trademarks and is losing profits from lost
`
`sales of products. This action seeks permanent injunctive relief and damages for Defendant’s
`
`infringement of Sound United’s intellectual property rights.
`
`4.
`
`Further, this case concerns Defendant’s wrongful, unauthorized promotion and
`
`sale of Sound United Products on the Internet and through online commerce sites including, but
`
`not limited to, Amazon.com. As described more fully below, upon information and belief,
`
`Defendant has tortiously interfered with and intentionally induced the breach of Sound United’s
`
`contractual relations with one or more of its Authorized Resellers.
`
`JURISDICTION AND VENUE
`
`5.
`
`This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this Complaint pursuant to
`

`
`Trademark Laws of the United States.
`
`6.
`
`This Court has supplemental jurisdiction over the pendant state law claims
`
`pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1367(a).
`
`7.
`
`Defendant
`
`is subject
`
`to personal
`
`jurisdiction
`
`in
`
`the Commonwealth of
`
`Massachusetts and this District pursuant to Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 223A §3 because (a) Defendant
`
`has sold numerous products into the Commonwealth and this District; (b) Defendant has caused

`
`Defendant practices the unlawful conduct complained of herein, in part, within the

`Case 1:19-cv-12542-IT Document 1 Filed 12/18/19 Page 3 of 17
`
`
`
`Commonwealth and this District; (e) Defendant regularly and systematically directs electronic
`
`activity into the Commonwealth and this District with the manifest intent of engaging in business
`
`within the Commonwealth and this District, including the sale and/or offer for sale to Internet
`
`users within the Commonwealth and this District; and (f) Defendant enters into sales contracts
`
`with residents of the Commonwealth and this District through the sale of items on various online
`
`retail platforms and in Internet auctions.
`
`8.
`

`
`Massachusetts pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1391 because a substantial part of the events or omissions
`
`giving rise to this claim occurred in this District.
`
`PARTIES
`
`9.
`
`Plaintiff Sound United, LLC d/b/a Denon, Polk Audio, Marantz, Definitive
`
`Technology, Heos, Boston Acoustics, and Classé is a Delaware Limited Liability Company
`
`having its principal place of business at One Viper Way, Vista, California 92081. Sound United

`
`Brands,” and the products sold under the Sound United Brands are collectively referred to as the
`
`“Sound United Products”).
`
`10.
`
`Upon information and belief, Defendant Amazon Seller “Amazing Deals Online”
`

`
`including Sound United Products, to customers within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and
`

`
`
`
`Case 1:19-cv-12542-IT Document 1 Filed 12/18/19 Page 4 of 17
`
`
`
`using seller names, including, but not limited to, “Amazing Deals Online.” Defendant is an
`

`
`FACTS
`
`Sound United’s Trademark Usage
`
`11.
`
`Sound United’s products are sold under a variety of trademarks registered at the
`
`U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”). Sound United is the sole and exclusive owner
`
`and/or licensee of several federally registered trademarks on the PTO’s Principal Register.
`
`These marks have been in continuous use since at least their respective date of registration. True
`
`and correct copies of printouts from TESS evidencing these registrations are attached hereto as
`
`Exhibit 1. Said registrations are in full force and effect, and most of these marks are
`
`incontestable pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1065. The marks contained in Exhibit 1 are referred to
`
`collectively as the “Sound United Marks.” The Sound United Marks are set forth below:

`
`Sound United advertises, distributes, and sells its products to consumers under the
`
`Sound United Marks.

`
`
`
`Case 1:19-cv-12542-IT Document 1 Filed 12/18/19 Page 5 of 17
`
`
`
`13.
`
`Sound United has also acquired common law rights in the use of the Sound
`
`United Marks throughout the United States.
`
`14.
`
`Sound United’s federal trademark registrations were duly and legally issued, are
`
`valid and subsisting, and constitute prima facie evidence of Sound United’s exclusive ownership
`
`or license of the Sound United Marks.
`
`15.
`
`Sound United has invested many millions of dollars and has expended significant
`
`time and effort in advertising, promoting, and developing the Sound United Marks throughout
`
`the United States and the world. As a result of such advertising and promotion, Sound United
`
`has established substantial goodwill and widespread recognition in its Sound United Marks, and
`
`those marks have become associated exclusively with Sound United and its products by both
`
`customers and potential customers, as well as the general public at large.
`
`16.
`
`To create and maintain such goodwill among its customers, Sound United has
`
`taken substantial steps to ensure that products bearing its Sound United Marks are of the highest
`
`quality. As a result, the Sound United Marks have become widely known and are recognized
`
`throughout the United States and the world as symbols of high quality products.
`
`17.
`
`As a result of, inter alia, the care and skill exercised by Sound United in the
`
`conduct of its business, the high quality of the goods sold under the Sound United Marks, and the
`
`extensive advertising, sale, and promotion by Sound United of its products, the Sound United
`
`Marks have acquired secondary meaning in the United States and the world, including this
`
`District.
`
`18.
`
`Sound United is not now, nor has it ever been, affiliated with Defendant, and has
`
`not now, nor has it ever, given Defendant permission to use any of the Sound United Marks.
`
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`Case 1:19-cv-12542-IT Document 1 Filed 12/18/19 Page 6 of 17
`
`
`
`Sound United’s Authorized Reseller Network
`
`19.
`
`Another critical investment that Sound United has made to ensure that the Sound
`
`United Products are of the highest quality is the development of a nationwide network of
`
`authorized distributors (“Authorized Distributors”) and authorized dealers (“Authorized
`
`Dealers,” and collectively with Authorized Distributors, “Authorized Resellers” and the
`
`“Authorized Reseller Network”).
`
`20.
`
`As a prerequisite to becoming part of the carefully selected Authorized Reseller
`
`Network, Sound United 1) requires that its Authorized Distributors execute an agreement (the
`
`“Authorized Distributor Agreement”), which requires that such Authorized Distributors only sell
`
`to Sound United Authorized Dealers; and 2) requires that its Authorized Dealers execute an
`
`agreement (the “Authorized Dealer Agreement”), which requires that such Authorized Dealers
`
`follow specific quality controls and allows it to sell Sound United Products only to end-users and
`
`only at the locations and websites designated in the Authorized Dealer Agreement. The terms of
`
`the Authorized Dealer Agreement also prohibit the transshipment, diversion, or transfer of any
`
`Sound United Products to any other party. Furthermore, as part of its normal business dealings
`
`with its Authorized Reseller Network, Sound United prohibits its Authorized Resellers from
`
`transshipping Sound United Products to unauthorized resellers.
`
`21.
`
`Sound United’s requirement that each of its Authorized Resellers agree not to
`
`transfer any Sound United Products to any other unauthorized party is well known in the retail
`
`industry, particularly among retailers of audio products. Upon information and belief, Defendant
`
`was aware of this prohibition at all relevant times, and, especially after Sound United provided
`
`Defendant with numerous notices of the prohibition.
`
`
`

`
`
`
`Case 1:19-cv-12542-IT Document 1 Filed 12/18/19 Page 7 of 17
`
`
`
`22.
`
`Further, only Sound United Products purchased from an Authorized Reseller
`
`qualify for the corresponding Sound United Brand’s warranty and are supported by the customer
`
`service of its Authorized Reseller Network.
`
`23.
`
`Sound United has invested and has expended significant time and effort in
`
`advertising, promoting, and developing its Authorized Reseller Network. As a result of such
`
`advertising and promotion, Sound United has established substantial goodwill and widespread
`
`recognition in the Sound United Products, which have become associated exclusively with
`
`Sound United by both customers and potential customers, as well as the general public at large.
`
`Defendant’s Infringing and Improper Conduct
`
`24.
`
`Defendant has sold and is currently selling Sound United Products on various
`
`online commerce sites including, but not limited to, Amazon.com, using seller names, including,
`
`but not limited to, “Amazing Deals Online.” Defendant sells a variety of audio/video products.
`
`25.
`
`Defendant offers for sale and sells Sound United Products on the Internet using
`
`the Sound United Marks.
`
`26. Many of the Sound United Products that Defendant sells online through
`
`Amazon.com are advertised as being in “new” condition.
`
`27.
`
`Examples of Defendant’s product listings utilizing the Sound United Marks,
`
`include, but are not limited to, the following:
`
`
`
`7
`
`
`
`Case 1:19-cv-12542-IT Document 1 Filed 12/18/19 Page 8 of 17
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`28.
`
`Sound United Product listings on Defendant’s Amazon.com storefront suggests to
`
`consumers that they come with the corresponding Sound United Brand’s warranty:
`
`
`
`8
`
`
`
`
`
`Case 1:19-cv-12542-IT Document 1 Filed 12/18/19 Page 9 of 17
`
`
`
`29.
`
`Thus, consumers that purchase Sound United Products sold by Defendant expect
`
`that those products will have the corresponding Sound United Brand’s warranty.
`
`30.
`
`However, only Sound United Products purchased from an Authorized Reseller
`
`qualify for the corresponding Sound United Brand’s warranty. All Sound United Brand’s
`
`warranties are only valid if purchased directly from an Authorized Reseller. All Sound United
`
`Brand’s warranties do not extend to Sound United Products purchased from unauthorized
`
`dealers, such as Defendant.
`
`31.
`
`Sound United has never authorized or otherwise granted Defendant permission to
`
`sell Sound United Products. Defendant is not a Sound United Authorized Reseller.
`
`32.
`
`Because Defendant is not an Authorized Reseller and cannot sell Sound United
`
`Products protected by the corresponding Sound United Brand’s warranty, the products bearing
`
`the Sound United Marks offered and sold by Defendant are materially different than those sold
`
`by Sound United. The Sound United Products sold by Defendant do not have the corresponding
`
`Sound United Brand’s warranty.
`
`33. Moreover, to obtain the inventory of Sound United Products Defendant is offering
`
`for sale on various online platforms, Defendant intentionally sought out, directly or indirectly,
`
`and obtained Sound United Products from one or more Sound United Authorized Resellers.
`
`34.
`
`Based on knowledge in the industry as well as previous correspondence from
`
`Sound United notifying Defendant of Sound United’s Authorized Distributor Agreements and
`
`Authorized Dealer Agreements, Defendant was aware that each of those Authorized Resellers
`
`was prohibited from selling Sound United Products to Defendant.
`
`35.
`
`Defendant’s promotion and sale of Sound United Products without authorization
`
`or license creates the false impression that Defendant is among Sound United’s Authorized
`
`
`
`9
`
`
`
`Case 1:19-cv-12542-IT Document 1 Filed 12/18/19 Page 10 of 17
`
`
`
`Reseller Network and has caused consumer confusion and disappointment. For example,
`
`Defendant has not received training from Sound United to be able to adequately service
`
`customers purchasing and/or attempting to purchase Sound United Products through its online
`
`retail spaces, as would a Sound United Authorized Reseller.
`
`36.
`
`Defendant’s continued advertisement, display, and sale of Sound United Products
`
`as aforesaid has harmed, and continues to harm Sound United and its relationships with its
`
`Authorized Resellers.
`
`Likelihood of Confusion and Injury Caused by Defendant’s Actions
`
`37.
`
`Defendant’s actions substantially harm Sound United by placing materially
`
`different Sound United Products into the stream of commerce in the United States.
`
`38.
`
`Defendant’s sale of Sound United Products bearing the Sound United Marks with
`
`no warranty is likely to cause confusion among consumers regarding Sound United’s
`
`sponsorship or approval of those products.
`
`39.
`
`Defendant’s actions substantially harm consumers who purchase Defendant’s
`
`products believing they are protected by the corresponding Sound United Brand’s warranty.
`
`Defendant’s actions cause consumers to not receive a warranted product as he or she intended.
`
`40.
`
`Defendant’s actions substantially harm Sound United’s goodwill and reputation
`
`when consumers learn that the Sound United Products they have purchased are not protected by
`
`the corresponding Sound United Brand’s warranty.
`
`41.
`
`The sale of Sound United Products by unauthorized resellers, such as Defendant,
`
`interferes with Sound United’s ability to control the quality of products bearing the Sound United
`
`Marks.
`
`
`
`10
`
`
`
`Case 1:19-cv-12542-IT Document 1 Filed 12/18/19 Page 11 of 17
`
`
`
`42.
`
`As a result of Defendant’s actions, Sound United is suffering the loss of the
`
`enormous goodwill it created in the Sound United Marks.
`
`43.
`
`Defendant continues to commit the acts complained of herein, and unless
`
`restrained and enjoined, will continue to do so, all to Sound United’s irreparable harm.
`
`COUNT I
`Trademark Infringement
`
`Sound United hereby realleges each and every allegation contained in the
`
`44.
`
`foregoing paragraphs as if fully set forth herein.
`
`45.
`
`This is a claim for federal trademark infringement under 15 U.S.C. § 1114 and 15
`
`U.S.C. § 1125.
`
`46.
`
`The acts of Defendant alleged herein constitute the use in commerce, without the
`
`consent of Sound United, of a reproduction, counterfeit, copy, or colorable imitation of the
`
`Sound United Marks in connection with the sale, offering for sale, distribution, or advertising of
`
`goods, which use is likely to cause confusion or mistake, or to deceive consumers, and therefore
`
`infringe Sound United’s rights in the Sound United Marks, all in violation of the Lanham Act.
`
`47.
`
`Defendant has used, and continues to use, the Sound United Marks in the sale of
`
`Sound United Products that do not qualify for the corresponding Sound United Brand’s warranty.
`
`Therefore, the products sold by Defendant are materially different from those offered or sold by
`
`Sound United.
`
`48.
`
`Defendant’s infringing activities are likely to cause, are actually causing, and are
`
`willful and intended to cause, confusion, mistake, and deception among members of the trade
`
`and the general consuming public as to the origin and quality of such products, and constitute
`
`trademark infringement under 15 U.S.C. § 1114.
`
`
`
`11
`
`
`
`Case 1:19-cv-12542-IT Document 1 Filed 12/18/19 Page 12 of 17
`
`
`
`49.
`
`As a direct and proximate result of Defendant’s actions, Sound United has been,
`
`and continues to be, damaged by Defendant’s activities and conduct. Defendant has profited
`
`thereby, and, unless its conduct is enjoined, Sound United’s reputation and goodwill will
`
`continue to suffer irreparable injury that cannot adequately be calculated or compensated by
`
`money damages. Accordingly, Sound United is entitled to injunctive relief pursuant to 15 U.S.C.
`
`§ 1116.
`
`COUNT II
`Tortious Interference With Contract / Business Relations
`
`Sound United hereby realleges each and every allegation contained in the
`
`50.
`
`foregoing paragraphs as if fully set forth herein.
`
`51.
`
`At all relevant times, Sound United has had valid Authorized Distributor and
`
`Authorized Dealer Agreements and/or business relationships with its Authorized Resellers of
`
`Sound United Products which prohibited the transshipment of Sound United Products to other
`
`resellers.
`
`52.
`
`At all relevant times, Defendant had actual knowledge of Sound United’s
`
`established contractual or business relationships with its Authorized Resellers, and was aware
`
`that Sound United’s Authorized Distributor Agreements and Authorized Dealer Agreements
`
`prohibit the transshipment, diversion, or transfer of any Sound United Products to any other
`
`party, directly or indirectly, including, without limitation, Defendant.
`
`53.
`
`Sound United has learned that Defendant has obtained significant inventories of
`
`Sound United Products, directly or indirectly, from one or more Authorized Resellers, and has
`
`offered for sale and sold, and continues to offer for sale and sell such products through online
`
`retail spaces, including, but not limited to, Amazon.com to customers throughout the United
`
`States including, without limitation, within this judicial district.
`
`
`
`12
`
`
`
`Case 1:19-cv-12542-IT Document 1 Filed 12/18/19 Page 13 of 17
`
`
`
`54.
`
`Defendant could only obtain the large inventory of Sound United Products that
`
`they are offering for sale (1) through the knowing solicitation and procurement of Sound United
`
`Products from one or more of Sound United’s Authorized Resellers, (2) through intentional,
`
`improper, and knowing interference with these Authorized Dealers’ advantageous business
`
`relationships with Sound United, or (3) by obtaining Sound United Products from Sound United
`
`Authorized Resellers through fraudulent or illicit means.
`
`55.
`
`Defendant has knowingly, wrongfully, maliciously, intentionally, and tortiously
`
`interfered with Sound United’s contractual relationships or its advantageous business relations
`
`by, among other things, soliciting, encouraging, or diverting sales of Sound United Products.
`
`These actions have interfered with, impeded, and hindered Sound United’s relationships with its
`
`Authorized Reseller Network, and have caused specific harm
`
`to Sound United’s
`
`contract/business relationships with the Authorized Resellers from whom Defendant improperly
`
`procured Sound United Products, and with other Authorized Resellers with whom Sound United
`
`has contracted.
`
`56.
`
`57.
`
`Defendant has no privilege or justification for its actions and its conduct.
`
`Defendant’s activities, as alleged, constitute tortious interference with a
`
`contract/business relation under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
`
`58.
`
`Defendant has refused to desist from these wrongful acts, and therefore has
`
`indicated its intent to continue this unlawful conduct, unless restrained by this Court.
`
`59.
`
`60.
`
`Defendant’s actions have proximately caused Sound United damage.
`
`Defendant’s actions have irreparably harmed Sound United and its incalculable
`
`goodwill in the Sound United brand, and, unless enjoined, will continue to do so in a manner
`
`affording Sound United no adequate remedy at law.

`
`
`
`COUNT III
`Unfair Competition Under Mass. Gen. Laws c. 93A
`
`Sound United hereby realleges each and every allegation contained in the
`
`61.
`
`foregoing paragraphs as if fully set forth herein.
`
`62.
`
`Sound United and Defendant are in the conduct of trade or commerce within the
`
`meaning of Mass. Gen. Laws c. 93A.
`
`63.
`
`As detailed above, Defendant’s act of obtaining Sound United Products through
`
`fraudulent or illicit means constitutes an unfair and deceptive business act.
`
`64.
`
`As detailed above, Defendant’s continued interference and unauthorized resale of
`
`Sound United Products constitutes an unfair and deceptive business act.
`
`65.
`
`Defendant’s acts have caused Sound United damage, have irreparably harmed
`
`Sound United and, unless enjoined, will continue to do so in a manner affording Sound United
`
`no adequate remedy at law.
`
`66.
`
`Defendant has refused to desist from these wrongful acts, and therefore Defendant
`
`has indicated that it intends to continue this unlawful conduct, unless restrained by this Court.
`
`RELIEF REQUESTED
`
`WHEREFORE, Sound United prays for judgment in its favor and against Defendant
`
`providing the following relief:
`
`A.
`
`Preliminarily and permanently enjoin Defendant, including all partners, officers,
`
`agents, servants, employees, attorneys, and all those persons and entities in active
`
`concert or participation with Defendant, including, but not limited to, any online
`
`platform, such as Amazon.com, or any website, website host, website
`
`administrator, domain registrar, or internet service provider, from:
`
`i.
`
`using, or attempting to use, any of Sound United’s intellectual property,

`
`14
`

`including, but not limited to, the Sound United Marks;
`
`ii.
`
`acquiring, or taking any steps to acquire, any Sound United Products in
`
`violation of Sound United’s Authorized Distributor Agreements and/or
`
`Authorized Dealer Agreements, or through any other improper or unlawful
`
`channels;
`
`iii.
`
`selling, or taking any steps to sell, any Sound United Product unless
`
`Defendant can substantiate with documentary evidence that the specific
`
`Sound United Product it is listing for sale was not acquired in violation of
`
`Sound United’s Authorized Distributor Agreements and/or Authorized
`
`Dealer Agreements, or through any other improper or unlawful channels;
`
`iv.
`
`engaging in any activity constituting unfair competition with Sound
`
`United; and
`
`v.
`
`inducing, assisting, or abetting any other person or entity in engaging in or
`
`performing any of the business activities decried in the paragraphs above.
`
`B.
`
`Award Sound United its actual damages suffered as a result of Defendant’s acts
`
`and treble said damages as provided by law pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1117 and
`
`M.G.L. c. 93A;
`
`C.
`
`Enter judgment that Defendant’s acts of infringement have been knowing and
`
`willful;
`
`D.
