Office on October 16, 2012. U.S. Patent Reg. No. D668850 was issued by the United

States Patent and Trademark Office on October 16, 2012. ("Jumbo Bright Designs")

5. Charles Philip is an internationally known shoe designer.

6. Charles Philip has attained an extraordinary level of popularity and fame

in the United States and around the world, and is the subject of public interest in the

fashion world.

7. Upon information and belief, Defendants offer for sale and sell products

using the Jumbo Bright Designs, CHARLES PHILIP and CP CHARLES PHILIP

trademarks and the distinctive Striped Design on the Inside of a Shoe trademark or a

substantially similar confusing mark ("Defendants' Unauthorized Products").

8. Upon information and belief, notwithstanding the lack of authorization

from JBTL and the fact that said Defendants' Unauthorized Products otherwise are not

authorized to be sold utilizing the Jumbo Bright Designs and Jumbo Bright

Trademarks, Defendants have made repeated unauthorized use of the Jumbo Bright

Trademarks and Jumbo Bright Designs in connection with said products, as described

below, with the intent to mislead and confuse consumers into believing that said

Defendants' Unauthorized Products are made directly by JBTL pursuant to JBTL's

strict quality control standards or that said Defendants' Unauthorized Products are

otherwise authorized or licensed by JBTL and with the intent of misappropriating, for



2

their own benefit, the tremendous goodwill built up by JBTL in the Jumbo Bright

Trademarks.

9. Based on information and belief, Defendants infringed and continue to

5 infringe the Jumbo Bright Designs within the meaning of35 U.S.C. §271(a) at least by

selling and offering to sell the Defendants' Unauthorized Products without JBTL's

authorization or license.

10. On or before August 2012, Defendants began selling loafers containing

the Charles Philip distinctive Striped Design on the Inside of a Shoe. In addition to

this design, the Defendants' loafers contained a stamp on the inside identifYing the

loafers as "PHILLIP Moccasin Slipper" and 'PHILLIP Slipper" respectively. This

Phillip stamp used the name-likeness, identity and persona of Charles Philip for

commercial purposes without his consent.

II. The misuse of the Jumbo Bright Designs and Jumbo Bright Trademarks

by Defendants was intended to cause, has caused and is likely to continue to cause

consumer confusion, mistake or deception including the misleading of consumers into

mistakenly believing that the Defendants' Unauthorized Products are made directly by

JBTL pursuant to JBTL's strict quality control standards or JBTL has authorized or

licensed the use by Defendants of the Jumbo Bright Trademarks and Jumbo Bright

Designs for those Unauthorized Products.

actual confusion in the minds of the consuming public, and to perpetuate their

unlawful exploitation of Charles Philip's name, likeness, identity and persona for

Defendants' commercial gain, through Defendants' unlawful use of Charles Philip's

name.

Plaintiffs have recently learned that Defendants The GAP, Inc. and DOES 1

through 10 (hereinafter "GAP") are selling Phillip loafers worldwide, including the

United States, that infringe upon the JBTL Trademarks, the JBTL Patents and the

5 . Charles Philip name ("Unauthorized Products" or "Phillip Loafers"). See Exhibits

K-N to the Decl. of Andrea Bates, (Dkt. 10.) Defendant GAP is the distributor of the

Phillip Loafers and offers those items for sale either online, in physical locations, or

both.

Thus, Plaintiffs are seeking a preliminary injunction via this motion in order to

stop the infringing activities as soon as possible and prevent further irreparable harm

to Plaintiffs.

Personal jurisdiction over GAP is proper because among other things they have

sold and distributed the Unauthorized Products in the Central District of California

both in their physical locations as well as through their websites (See Brunner v.

Bawcom, U.S. Dist. LEXIS 96341,2010 WL 3724436, *4 (D.Mont. , Sept. 15, 2010)

(holding that the defendant's single sale of goods to the plaintiff in the forum satisfied

the "purposeful availment" requirement for personal jurisdiction, insofar as the

defendant had "purposefully availed himself of the privilege of conducting business

[in the forum]") (citing McGee v. International Life Ins. Co., 355 U.S. 220, 223, 78

S.Ct. 199,2 L.Ed.2d 223 (1957)).

Although Plaintiffs have sent cease and desist letters to GAP, the Defendant

has refused to cease selling the Phillip Loafers. Based on the foregoing, Plaintiff will

suffer immediate irreparable harm if GAP is not immediately enjoined from

manufacturing, marketing, offering to sell or selling the Phillip Loafers.

II. STATEMENT OF FACTS

The facts are substantially the same as in Plaintiffs' Memorandum of Points

and Authorities in Support of Ex Parte Application for a Temporary Restraining

Order and an Order to Show Cause Re: Preliminary Injunction, (Dkt. 10, pp. 9-12.)

Plaintiffs incorporate those facts by reference. An Order Denying Plaintiffs'

Application for Temporary Restraining Order and an Order to Show Cause Re:

Preliminary Injunction on October 25,2012, (Dkt. 21.) In its Order, the Court stated

that Plaintiffs failed to demonstrate an immediate tlu·eatened injury with clear

evidence of irreparable harm. Id. In light of additional evidence regarding the

19 issuance of an injunction, Plaintiffs submit this motion.

III. A PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION IS NECESSARY TO PREVENT THE IRREPARABLE HARM OF DEFENDANT'S TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT, PATENT INFRINGEMENT AND VIOLATION OF THE RIGHT TO PUBLICITY

With the additional evidence, Plaintiffs satisfy the standard for granting a preliminary

injunction. Plaintiffs are entitled to preliminary injunctive relief when they show: (1)

a likelihood of success on the merits; (2) a likelihood of irreparable harm absent a

preliminary injunction; (3) that the balance of equities tips in favor of issuing an

Winter v. Natural Res. Def. Council, Inc., 555 U.S. 7, 20 129 S. Ct. 365, 172 L.Ecl.2d

249 (2008). The same test is applied for determining whether to grant a temporary

restraining order and a preliminary injunction. Stuhlbarg Int'l Sales Co. v. John D.

Brishy & Co., 240 F.3d 832, 839 n.7 (9th Cir. 200 1). Accordingly, Plaintiffs

incorporate the arguments set forth in Plaintiffs' Memorandum of Points and

Authorities in Support of Ex Parte Application for a Temporary Restraining Order

and an Order to Show Cause Re: Preliminary Injunction, (Dkt. 10.) This

memorandum will focus on the additional arguments and evidence that has come to

light in the time after the TRO documents were prepared.

A. Plaintiffs have Demonstrated An Indisputable Likelihood of Success On the Merits Of Its Trademark Infringement, Patent Infringement and Right to Publicity Claims

1. GAP Has Committed Trademark Infringement

To be liable for trademark infringement, an infringer must: "( 1) use in

commerce (2) any word, false designation of origin, false or misleading description,

or representation of fact , which (3) is likely to cause confusion or misrepresents the

characteristics of his or another person's goods or services." Freecycle Network, Inc.

y . Oey, 505 F.3d 898, 901 (9th Cir. 2007).

To prove trademark infringement by GAP, JBTL must satisfy two basic

elements: ( 1) a valid protectable mark; and (2) a likelihood of confusion, mistake, or

deception in Defendant's use ofthe trademark (15 U.S.C. §1114). In its Opposition

to Application for TRO and Preliminary Injunction (Dkt. 15), GAP argued that

Plaintiffs have fa iled to show they have any valid trademarks. Contrary to this

position, Plaintiffs have provided ample evidence of market penetration and

recognition of the JBTL Trademarks. See Charles Anthony Philip Pozzi Decl.,

Exhibit 2 to Plaintiffs' Memorandum of Points and Authorities in Support of Ex Parte

Application for a Temporary Restraining Order and an Order to Show Cause Re:

Preliminary Injunction, (Dkt. 10.) Defendant also argues that the magazine articles

provided to the Court are not accompanied by self-authenticating materials such as

covers or issue dates. Opposition to Application for TRO and Preliminary Injunction,

(Dkt. 15 at p. 14.) Attached as Exhibit A to the Decl. of Andrea Bates are the

requested details of the magazine ads . Defendant also expressed concern that some

of the magazines were foreign. While this is true, the fashion industry is global and

consumers in the U.S . will often look to foreign trends when deciding what to

purchase. The evidence shows that all of the JBTL Trademarks are valid protectable

marks.

Cause Re: Preliminary Injunction (Dkt. 1 0) the Court analyzes the 8-prong Sleekcraft

test to determine a likelihood of confusion (AMF, Inc. v. Sleekcraft Boats, 599 F. 2d

341 , 348-49 (9th Cir. 1979)), which is a pliant test used for trademarks in which some

factors are more important than others. Goto.com, Inc. v. Walt Disney Co. 202 F.3d

1199, 1205 (9th Cir. 2000). In the current scenario, most of the Sleekcraft factors

support Plaintiff JBTL 's request for injunctive relief. There is a substantial likelihood

that JBTL will succeed on the merits that GAP has committed trademark

infringement of the JBTL Trademarks.

I. Strength Of The Marl<s

The strength of a trademark is evaluated in terms of its conceptual strength and

commercial strength. Goto.com, Inc. v. Walt Disney Co., 202 F.3d at 1207. The

CHARLES PHILIP and CP CHARLES PHILIP trademarks represent the strongest

category of trademarks, arbitrary marks, marks that bear no logical relationship to the

underlying product. See Plaintiffs' Memorandum of Points and Authorities in Support

of Ex Parte Application for a Temporary Restraining Order and an Order to Show

Cause Re: Preliminary Injunction (Dkt. 10 at p. 10.) Because of the strength of the

JBTL Trademarks, this factor weighs heavily towards a finding of a likelihood of

confusion.

ii. Similarity Of The Marl{s

Similarity of the marks is considered a critical question in the likelihood-of-

confusion analysis. Goto .com, Inc., 202 F.3d at 1205-1206. The Ninth Circuit in

Goto.com announced that: ( 1) the marks must be considered in their entirety and as

they appear in the marketplace; (2) similarity is adjudged in terms of appearance,

sound, and meaning; and (3) similarities are weighed more heavily than differences.

Id. at 1206.

Here there can be no question that the JBTL Trademarks are quite unique.

This uniqueness has been misappropriated by the Defendants, v .. rith an exact copy of

the distinctive striped design and the Phillip stamp. When compared to Charles

Philip loafers, the GAP Phillip loafers contain nearly identical stripes on the inside of

the shoe. Especially with regard to the Striped Design on the Inside of the Shoe

trademark, because the marks are nearly indistinguishable, this factor should weigh

heavily in a likelihood of consumer confusion. Further, the similarities between CP

CHARLES PHILIP, CHARLES PHILIP and GAP using the "PHILLIP Moccasin

Slipper" and "PHILLIP Slipper" stamp on their infringing loafers (which are

substantially similar to the CHARLES PHILIP line of loafers) is too obvious to

ignore. See Plaintiffs' Memorandum ofPoints and Authorities in Support of Ex Parte

Application for a Temporary Restraining Order and an Order to Show Cause Re:

Preliminary Injunction (DI<t. 10 at p. I 0.) The similarity factor weighs heavily

iii. The Trademari{S Are Used On Identical Goods

Charles Philip designs are a new take on classic English style slippers/loafers.

The Unauthorized Products in question are classic English style slipper/loafers. The

goods are essentially identical and this factor should be weighed heavily towards a

finding of a likelihood of consumer confusion.

1v. The Mad{eting Channels Used Are The Same

Marketing channels are another factor that weigh heavily towards a finding of a

likelihood of confusion. While GAP may claim that its loafers are only sold through

a GAP store or website, this GAP store is likely in a shopping mall next to the

department stores that carry CHARLES PHILIP loafers . There is ample opportunity

for a consumer browsing in their local shopping mall to get confused as to the origin

of the GAP Phillip loafers.

v. There Is Evidence Of Actual Confusion In The Marl{etplace

"Evidence of actual confusion is strong evidence that futu re confusion is

likely .... " Official Airline Guides, Inc. v . Goss, 6F.3d 1385, 1393 (9111 Cir. 1993). In

addition to the initial instances first set forth at Plaintiffs' Memorandum of Points and

Authorities in Support of Ex Parte Application for a Temporary Restraining Order

and an Order to Show Cause Re: Preliminary Injunction (Dkt. 10 at p . 13.) Plaintiff

includes further instances of actual confusion with resulting harm. See Exhibit C &

D to Decl. of Andrea Bates. This Sleekcraft factor should be weighed heavily in the

likelihood of finding consumer confusion.

VI. GAP Intended To Confuse Consumet·s When Selecting The Marl{

It is clear that GAP intended to use the extensive fame and goodwill of the

JBTL Trademarks when it designed, named and marketed the GAP Phillip loafers.

Even the public has noted the intended "significant similarities." See Decl. of Andrea

Bates Exhibit D. "When an alleged infringer knowingly adopts a mark similar to

another's, courts will presume an intent to deceive the public." Official Airlines, 6

F.3d at 1394. Once discovery has initiated, it is likely information will surface that

GAP intentionally copied the Charles Philip loafers with the presumed attempt to

confuse consumers that Charles Philip was somehow associated with the GAP. The

Lanham Act protects the holders of trademarks from infringement and protects the

public at large from confusion in the marketplace due to the existence of infringing

trademarks. Therefore, this Sleekcraft factor also balances heavily in finding a strong

likelihood of consumer confusion.

Six out of the eight Sleekcraft factors will be found to contribute to a finding of

a likelihood of consumer confusion ((1) strength of the plaintiffs trademark; (2) the

similarity between defendant's design and the plaintiffs trademarks; (3) the

trademarks are used on identical goods; ( 4) the similarities between the marketing

channels used by the plaintiff and the defendant; (5) evidence of actual confusion;

and (6) the intent of the defendant). The only two factors not weighing towards a

likelihood of confusion, the likelihood of expansion of product lines is not appl icable

to identical products and the consumer sophistication is at least neutral.

2. GAP Has Committed Patent Infringement

A design patent is infringed by " [ w ]hoever during the term of a patent for a

design, without license of the owner, (I) applies the patented design, or any colorable

imitation thereof, to any article of manufacture for the purpose of sale, or (2) sells or

exposes for sale any article of manufacture to which such design or colorable

imitation has been applied .. . . " 35 U.S.C. § 289. The JBTL design patents issued on

October 16, 2012.

. I. GAP's Use Of JBTL's Patented Design On Its PHILLIP

Branded Shoes

17 The test for design patent infringement is "whether an ordinary observer,

18 familiar with the prior art, would be deceived into thinking that the accused design

19

20

21

22

23

24

was the same as the patented design .... " Egyptian Goddess, Inc. v. Swisa, Inc., 543

F.3d 665, 676 (Fed. Cir. 2008). The JBTL design patents claim the striped design on

the inside of a shoe as well as the look and feel of the slipper and tassel shoe design.

See Exhibits I-J to the Decl. of Andrea Bates (Dkt. 1 0.) Below is a side by side

comparison of the CHARLES PHILIP loafers and the patent-infringing GAP Phillip

loafers:

The manufacture, marketing and sale of the PHILLIP branded GAP loafer

bearing claimed design(s) covered by the JBTL Patents is a clear example of patent

infringement. See Exhibit L to the Decl. of Andrea Bates (Dkt. 1 0.)

This Court has the jurisdiction to grant an injunction to prevent the violation of

the rights JBTL has secured in the JBTL design patents. 35 U.S.C. § 283. GAP

claims the JBTL Design Patents are invalid; however, do not approach the details

necessary to overcome the strong presumption of validity afforded by registration.

See Plaintiffs Reply Memorandum in Support of a Temporary Restraining Order and

an Order to Show Cause Re: Preliminary Injunction (Dkt. 23 at pp. 7-9.)

3. GAP Has Violated Charles Philip's Right Of Publicity

By using "PHILLIP Moccasin Slipper" and 'PHILLIP Slipper" on its loafers,

GAP intentionally violated Charles Philip's right of publicity in contravention of

California Civil Code§ 3344. To prove a misappropriation of the right of publicity in

California, Plaintiff must show: "( 1) defendant's use of plaintiffs identity; (2) the

appropriation of plaintiffs name or likeness to defendant's advantage, commercially

or otherwise; (3) lack of consent; and ( 4) resulting injury." Cal. Civ. Code§ 3344.

In addition, a plaintiff must also prove a knowing use of the plaintiffs name or

likeness by defendant and a direct connection between the alleged use and the

commercial purpose. Id. GAP claims the use of"Phillip" is just a production style

designation and had nothing to do with Charles Philip. Opposition to Application for

TRO and Preliminary Injunction (Dkt. 15 at pp. 21-22.) It is hard to believe that the

Phillip name was used other than intentionally and willfully chosen by GAP to

capitalize on the goodwill built up by Plaintiffs in the Charles Philip name.

Charles Philip has suffered irreparable harm to his reputation and incurred

emotional distress by Defendant's use of his name and likeness. Unless temporarily

and permanently enjoined from using his name and likeness on its Unauthorized

Products, Charles Philip will continue to suffer irreparable harm at the hands of

Defendant.

B. Plaintiffs Will Suffer Irreparable Harm In The Absence of Preliminary Injunctive Relief

The second of the four criteria for injunctive relief as set forth in Winter is that

the plaintiff establish that it is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of

preliminary relief. Winter, 129 S.Ct. 365, 375-376. In its Order Denying the TRO,

this Court made it clear that Plaintiffs could not rely on the presumption of

irreparable harm on a finding of a likelihood of success on the merits of a trademark

infringement case. Instead, the Court requires that Plaintiffs demonstrate that there is

an immediate threatened injmy by clear evidence, not speculation. Order (Dkt. 21 at

17 p. 5·)

owner' s lack of control over Defendants' products and quality a significant factor in

granting a preliminary injunction). Other jurisdictions have reached similar results.

See e.g. U.S. Polo Ass'n, Inc. v . PRL USA Holdings, Inc., 800 F.Supp.2d 515, 540

(S.D.N.Y. 2011) (finding irreparable harm exists when plaintiff shows it will lose

control over the reputation of its trademark).

Similar to these cases, there is a strong likelihood that Plaintiffs will be

irreparably harmed by the trademark and patent infringement. The goodwill, brand

and over-all business of JBTL and Charles Philip is at stake. The JBTL Trademarks

and JBTL Patents are being used across the US by GAP without license or ability to

apply quality control. Every day consumers are buying these GAP loafers assuming

they meet Plaintiffs ' quality standards and they do not. If these unauthorized

products are not immediately taken off the marketplace, Plaintiffs will suffer

irreparable harm. See Decl. of Andrea Bates Exhibits C& E.

There is also a strong likelihood of irreparable harm created by GAP's use of

Charles Philip's name on its Phillip loafers. Shoppers purchasing designer shoes

from high end department stores like Saks Fifth Avenue and Bloomingdale's expect

the quality to meet the price point. Being associated with the GAP will hurt Charles

Philip 's reputation as a high end designer as the GAP marketing campaign is aimed at

the more price conscious consumer. See Decl. of Andrea Bates Exhibits C- E.

C. The Balance of Equities Tips In Favor of Plaintiff

A court balancing the equities will look to the possible harm that could befall

the various parties. Cytosport, Inc. v. Vital Pharm., Inc., 617 F .Supp.2d 1051, 1081-

1082 (E.D. Cal.2009). In this case, Plaintiffs are likely to suffer irreparable harm to

their business and the goodwill it has built in the JBTL Trademarks and the Charles

Philip name, particularly in the United States.

Unless enjoined, the proliferation of the unlicensed use of the JBTL

Trademarks will irreparably harm Plaintiffs by: (1) undermining Plaintiffs'

substantial investment in the JBTL Trademarks and Charles Philip name; (2)

eliminating Plaintiffs control over distribution of its trademarks; (3) harming

Plaintiffs' reputation with third party licensees; and ( 4) diminishing the sales of future

products displaying the JBTL Trademarks and Charles Philip name by Plaintiff and

their authorized retailers.

Plaintiffs have invested substantial resources into designing, developing,

promoting and advertising goods that bear the JBTL Trademarks and Charles Philip

name. In the absence of injunctive relief, Defendants will continue to profit from the

sales of the illegal goods while Plaintiffs and the public will be harmed by the

continued distribution ofthese infringing items. Refusal of injunctive reliefwill result

in the loss of goodwill and encourage infringers to increase operations. It would also

discourage anti-piracy enforcement. All of these are great and irreparable harm.

In contrast, if an injunction is granted, Defendants will only suffer the loss of

the revenue from the sales of illicit Unauthorized Products utilizing the JBTL Patents,

JBTL Trademarks and Charles Philip name. But GAP assumed that risk when they

decided to participate actively in an illegal business activity. The law is clear that the

economic harm that befalls a pirate is not cognizable in the balance of hardships.

Cadence Design Systems, Inc. v. Avant! Corp., 125 F.3d 824, 829 (9th Cir. 1997)

(profit lost from enjoined sales of infringing goods not cognizable harm); Triad S~

Corp. v. Southeastern Express Co., 64 F. 3d 1330, 1338 (9th Cir. 1995) ("Where the

only hardship that the defendants will suffer is lost profits from an activity which has

been shown likely to be infringing, such an argument in defense merits little equitable

c'onsideration. ")

Moreover, the Defendants retail businesses appear to involve the supply of

many types of products, of which the items infringing the JBTL Patents, JBTL

Trademarks and Charles Philip name are but a few. GAP will, presumably, continue

to supply these other products, despite the granting of any injunctive relief preventing

the sale and distribution of the GAP Phillip loafers. On the other hand, the

CHARLES PHILIP loafers are Plaintiffs only product. Because of the irreparable

harm to Plaintiffs and because the balance of hardships tips strongly in favor of

Plaintiffs, Plaintiffs are entitled to a temporary restraining order and preliminary

injunction.

the public not to be deceived or confused. Moroccanoil, Inc. v. Moroccan Gold, LLC,

590 F. Supp.2d 1271, 1282 (C.D. Cal. 2008) (quoting OQticians Ass'n of Am. v.

Indep. Opticians of Am., 920 F.2d 187, 198 (3d. Cir. 1990)). Courts also recognize

that the public interest favors injunctive relief in trademark infringement cases. See,

e.g., Promatek Industries, Ltd. v. Eguitrac Corp., 300 F. 3d 808, 813 (7th Cir. 2002);

Yash Raj Films (USA), Inc. v. Sidhu, 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 25988, *17-18, 2010

WL 1032792, *7 (E.D. Cal. 201 0).

On the other hand, no public benefit results from Defendants' activities. Public

policy certainly does not support trademark infringement, patent infringement and

violation of the right of publicity.

If the Comt finds a likelihood of confusion between the marks, it may also find

that the public interest weighs in favor of granting injunctive relief (Maxim Integrated

Products, Inc. v. Richard Quintana, et al. , 654 F.Supp.2d 1024, 1036 (N.D. Cal.2009).

In this case, not only is there a likelihood of confusion; rather, there has been at least

one example of"actual" confusion by one of Plaintiffs' own customers. Thus,

injunctive relief is warranted.

IV. REQUIRED INJUNCTION BOND AMOUNT

Plaintiffs are willing to post a bond to protect Defendants' interests pending the

outcome of this litigation, although Plaintiffs strongly believe that the bond should be

minimal based on the strong likelihood Plaintiffs will prevail on the merits.

Fed. R. Civ. P . 65 (c) provides that a bond be posted "in an amount that the

court considers proper to pay the costs and damages sustained by any party found to

have been wrongfully enjoined or restrained." A bond "may not be required, or may

be minimal, when the harm to the enjoined patty is slight or where the movant has

demonstrated a likelihood of success." Ticketmaster L.L.C. v. RMG Technologies,

Inc., 507 F. Supp. 2d 1096, 1116 (C.D. Cal. 2007); see also Connecticut Gen. Life

Ins. Co. v. New Images of Beverly Hills, 321 F. 3d 878, 882 (9th Cir. 2003) ("bond

amount may be zero if there is no evidence the party will suffer damages from the

injunction.").

Here, there is little prospect that any of Defendants' legitimate interests would

be impinged by an order requiring them to cease distribution of the infringing goods.

Nevertheless, if the Court requires, that a bond be posted, Plaintiffs submit that the

bond should not exceed $10,000 as that amount is more than sufficient to account for

the unlikely possibility that Defendants would be "wrongly enjoined or restrained,"

from selling these plainly illegal products. Fed. R. Civ. P. 65 (c); see, e.g., Iconix

Inc. v. Tokuda, 457 F. Supp. 2d 969, I 002 (N.D. Cal. 2006) (setting bond at$1 0,000

for preliminary injunction in copyright infringement action); Microsoft Corp. v. Very

Competitive Computer Products Corp., 671 F. Supp. 1250, 1252 (N.D. Cal. 1987)

(setting bond at $10,000 for preliminary injunction in copyright infringement action);

Nintendo of America, Inc. v. Computer & Entertainm~t Inc., 1996 U.S. Dist.

LEXlS 20975, * 15, 1996 WL 511619, *6 (W.D. Wa. 1996) (setting bond at $10,000

v. CONCLUSION

Pursuant to the factors set forth by the U.S. Supreme Court in Winter, 129

S.Ct. at 375-376, Plaintiffs have established: (1) that it is likely to succeed on the

merits; (2) that it is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary

relief; (3) that the balance of equities tip in its favor; and ( 4) that an injunction is in

the public interest.

A Preliminary Injunction will ensure protection of Plaintiffs from further

infringement of their trademarks, patent and rights to publicity as well as the public's

right to distinguish between competing sources of goods and services. Accordingly,

Plaintiffs respectfully request that the court enjoin Defendants' infringement in the

form of the order proposed and filed concurrently herewith.

5> Основатель марки charles phil ip shanghai миланец Чарльз Филип несколько лет назад переехал в Шанхай, где вместе со своей лучшей подругой Шейлой стал создавать обувь. Вдохновением для первой пары обуви послужили рубашки в полоску, которые носит Чарльз. В новой коллекции помимо полосатых слипперов встречаются твидовые и шелковые.

4> Французский бренд gerard darel пополнил осенне-зимнюю коллекцию обуви и аксессуаров слипперами с леопардовым принтом. Они подойдут как к одежде в классическом стиле, так и к ярким однотонным нарядам насыщенных оттенков. Кисточки из лакированной кожи завершат выбранный образ.

3> На слипперах charlotte olympia из красного бархата паучок с кристаллом восседает на вышивке в виде паутины. Дизайнер и основательница марки Шарлотт Деллал шутливо называет этот узор паутиной Шарлотты — в честь знаменитого детского рассказа. Сантиметровый каблук обтянут золотистой кожей.

2> Слипперы alexander mcqueen сделаны из черного бархата и декорированы разноцветной вышивкой с цветочным узором. Они подойдут как к модным в этом сезоне нарядам бордового, темно-зеленого и синего цвета, так и к простой белой рубашке и джинсам.

1> Обувь бренда giuseppe zanotti design всегда отличалась богатством отделки и большим количеством инкрустаций. Эти слипперы с небольшим каблуком не стали исключением. Они сделаны из черной замши и по всей поверхности декорированы кристаллами Swarovski.

В этом сезоне в женский гардероб из мужского перекочевали слипперы. Они бывают с множеством разных принтов и вариантов отделки и являются альтернативой лоферам и балеткам

1Jestfootfol1Vard It's not just clothing designers that are making their mark in China. Alice Mcinerney uncovers the footwear legends stepping out in style

For retro types Suzhou Cobblers Shanghai-born designer Denise Huang takes inspiration from the city's fashion-capital past. She uses local folk crafts to embellish a wide range of accessories, from lanterns and wall hangings to fabrics, clothes and jewellery, but it's her evening slippers that will have you truly tripping the light fantastic.

Riffing on the shape of the ubiquitous Mary Janes worn by legions of Chinese workers in the past, Huang breaks the ethnic template with her use of sumptuous fabrics and subtle shades of embroidered silk. True, some of her evening slippers contain the usual China motifs: dragons, butterflies, peacocks and peonies, but she has taken

36 www.timeoutbeijing

iconic images from old fabrics and reinterpreted them in an angular, more modern style.

Each design by Huang works closely with a group of handicraft experts who are keeping their craft alive. Her speciality is a line cf all· silk, hand-sewn slippers, which come both flat and as mules with a medium heel (from 560RMB). With understated elegance rather than brash opulence, their folkloric detailing in a painterly mix of colours, these are perfect for eveningwear.

Look outfor ... Her flat day shoes keep the rounded

retro toe and come both embroidered and decorated with every craft imaginable -huge hand-made buttons,

crocheted flowers, knitted symbols, patchwork motifs

or pom-poms big enough to make a competitive cheerleader weep.

For extroverts Kiroic Self-taught Kim Kiroic founded his eponymous label in Shanghai back in 2008. Two years later, he burst onto the international scene at Paris Fashion Week with his innovative, avant-garde sneaker-sandal combo, which put Kiroic · s stamp on how far men's shoe design could be pushed.

His limited-edition couture collections intersperse digital images with traditional embroidery -a craft skill he ha5resurrected and Jflade his own. Kiroic's spring; summer 2012 collection Transitions interprets the story of the shoe-making process, i?corporadng styles and craftsmansh1 p from both East and West.

present. His woven sandals are fashionable and comfortable, while classic styles such as tassel loafers and wing-tipped ankle boots are transformed with a modern twist (from 3,280RMB).

For stylites Mary Ching Blahnik and Laboutin beware, Mary Ching is a Chinese luxury shoe and accessories brand prepared to take on the big boys from Europe. Founded in 2006, it strives to champion Chinese craftsmanship and works along the belief that 'Made in China' will one day become a label synonymous with luxury and creativity. It was founded by Alison Mary Ching Yeung and the brand is a hybrid of Chinese opulence and British eccentricity. Designs are peppered with elements from Yeung's own eclectic style and multi· cultural background. Nods to vintage


aesthetics are kept modern and fresh, with the finest local skins and materials being used, while limited· edition runs keep the Mary Ching directional and exclusive.

Look out for . .. A new accessories range is current ly being developed and will diversify to include luxury sl ippers as well as shoes, bags and clutches. Colours will include not just Mary Ching's signature purple, but eye-popping Rasta shades and vivid prints. This season's springj summer collection, entitled Orient Exotica, sees silhouettes ranging from demure 1950s peep-toed stnettos to downright dominatrix (from 1,200·3,500RMB). Comfort might not be high on the agenda, but vertiginous heels certainly are. Available from www.anyshopstyle.cn

For prepsters Charles Philip Shanghai Tripping in with fabric combos galore, and sporting more tassels than a Bangkok strip joint, there's bound to be a Charles Phil ip slipper out there for you. If they're good enough for Rihanna to stroll around the island of Capri, then they're probably good enough for the likes of us to pound the scruffy streets of Beij ing.

Charles Philip Shanghai has carved out quite a significant

international reputation since its humble inception. Hailing from Milan, co-founder Phil ip had always been inspired by the Prince Albert slipper worn by the English gentry, so he commissioned a Chinese cobbler on Shanghai's Mao Ming Road to create a unique pair. Eschewing the usual stuffy velvet monogrammed look, he chose a fabric in super-soft blue· and-white striped shirting cotton. The resulting slipper flew off the shelves all the way to Bloomingdale's and now the comfortable rubber· soled, leather- lined classic slip.ons can be bought in Milan's Corso Como, London's Browns, Paris's Colette and now Beijing's Wuhao. Each pair is constructed from fabrics not usually associated with shoes: tweed, linen, denim, paisley, silk, cotton. They come in spots, stripes, multi·patterned, in fact every shade ofthe colour wheel, and pricing starts from around 990RMB.

Look outfor ... We love the leglengthening pastel shades, which are currently very on trend. At the suggestion of his mother, Philip designed a collection in feral cat prints that became an instant bestseller. Practical, comfortable and with a myriad of variations, Charles Philip really is Shanghai's godfather of sole. Available from Wuhao Curated Shop, 35Mao'erHutong, Dongcheng district (1891135 5035). Open Wed· Sun 1-Bpm or for any other times you can book an appointment. *i.liX IZ ljF,j JL~Fc.l35-5

It's not exactly a prime location, but Unianswer is a brand new womenswear shop touting Korean wares unavailable elsewhere in China. Founded byWangNa, who regu larly visits Seoul Fashion Week to source labels such as How And What and Dress Or Die, the selection includes the usual Korean stylings, from structured blazers to quirky cocktai l numbers around the 2,000RMB to 6,000RMB mark.

Other brands include lesser-known names from Japan and Spain, plus Singaporean designer Danelle Woo's brand Aijek, which we 've been monitoring for quite some time. Expect relaxed, understated jumpsuits and dresses in high·qualityfabrics. Also worth checking out is Emily Ma Studio from New York. We love the green silk

American Eagle Outfitters Preppy is the name of the game here. Those of you from that side of the pond will probably groan and shudder at the thought of the tween-friendly American Eagle making its first nest in Beij ing. But hey, it's colourful, cheap Americana - like Gap's spotty teenage brother.

Girls can pick from T-shirts, Daisy Dukes and tracksuits emblazoned with the logo (139-269RMB). There are on-trend references, with tribal prints and peach lace camisoles. For boys, there are stripy nautical T-shirts, flannel shirts and deck shoes galore (169-499RMB). AM

Dear Sir:

I am writing to express our deep concern regarding GAP, Inc's release, marketing and sale of the PHILIP loafer. As the GAP shoes are :(i) nearly identical to the CHARLES PHILIP shoes, (ii) sold under the name PHILIP and (iii) sold at a price point more than 70% lower than the genuine CHARLES PHILIP shoes; our customer stores, such as Bloomingdale's, Saks and Neiman Marcus as well as many others are concerned that this blatant copy of a unique design or The CHARLES PHILIP loafer will infringe on their sales of the original Charles Philp loafer . The GAP PHILIP loafers are causing confusion in the marketplace as customers are buying a cheaper and lower quality near identical copy of the CHARLES PHILIP loafer as a PHILIP branded shoe, thinking its endorsed and created by CHARLES PHILIP. This confusion in the marketplace is reducing the sale of the high end CHARLES PHILIP shoes within our customer stores and in turn our company's sales.

Regards,

Dear Sir or Madam:

I am the officer of Jumbo Bright Trading Limited ("JBTL"). JBTL has been irreparably damaged by GAP's release of the PHILLIP shoes. Charles Philip only creates and sells high end loafers, available in stores like SAKS FIFTH AVE, BERGDORF GOODMAN, NEIMAN MARCUS and BLOOMINGDALE'S. Having the JBTL shoes affiliated with a low end store such as the GAP has irreparably damaged this high end designers reputation and name. Further, the presence of these cheap GAP PHILLIP loafers has harmed the goodwill surrounding his brand. The GAP PHILLIP shoes have been a best seller in many of the GAP stores worldwide, every sale of the counterfeit shoes by GAP is representative of a lost sale by Jumbo Bright, this equates to hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost sales. To that end, many of the distributors have stated that their stores have threatened to pull the legitimate CHARLES PHILIP shoes as a result. In faith,
