1. This is an action for willful infringement of design patents in violation

various toothbrushes bearing unique designs. Among other things, Ari ha

developed custom made designs and concepts for toothbrushes and oral care

products for companies such as Johnson & Johnson, Avon Cosmetics, Colgate

Palmolive, and Walmart. Among his creations and innovations were specialized

designs for the elderly, pet toothbrushes, travel brushes and kits, brushes for

private brand products and other toothbrush novelty products. Two

of

hi

'''207 Patent ) and United States Patent No. D579,666 (the '666 Patent ).

of

a soccer ball in

the same location.

selling toothbrushes embodying the '207 and '666 patented designs.

a true spOliS fan's connection to his or her favorite sport. He designed the

respective handles accordingly: the laces and football shape on the football brush;

the basketball with the grains and seams of the ball for the basketball brush; and

the dual colored hexagonal design on the soccer brush. This is how he would

convey his passion and vision.

14.

Statiing in 2010, through his affiliates, Ari made and sold products

embodying the patented designs

of

the '207 and '666 Patents. These products

were marked with one or more of the numbers of the patents-in-suit. Fmihermore

reasonable effOlis were undertaken

to

assure compliance with the marking

requirements of Section 287 of Title 35 ofthe United States Code.

15. In July 2011, Ari and his colleague made a presentation to one or

more representatives of CVS at the ERCM Baby

&

Oral Care exhibition a

Orlando, Florida. As part of this demonstration, the CVS representative was

provided with samples of the toothbrushes and informed that their designs were

patent protected.

16.

Although CVS showed initial interest in the products, no agreement to

distribute the products was ultimately reached.

B. CVS s UNLAWFUL

CONDUCT.

17.

Instead

of

licensing Blue Forest's patents, CVS simply copied the

designs and statied selling knock-off toothbrushes, thereby intentionally and

willfully infringing Blue Forest's '207 and '666 Patents.

18.

CVS has infringed and is currently infringing the '207 and '666

Patents in violation of 35 U.S.C. § 271 by making, having made, using, selling

and/or offering for sale, within the United States, products embodying the designs

claimed in the '207 and '666 Patents, including, without limitation, toothbrushes

1 Ari's toothbrush bearing the football design is protected under U.S. Patent No.

D579667, which is not asserted in this Complaint.
