    1 Defendants have sufficient minimum contacts with this district to such that th2 exercise of jurisdiction over Defendants by this Court does not offend traditiona3 notions of fair play and substantial justice. Among other things, Defendants hav4 advertised, offered to sell and sold products that infringe the trademarks o5 Plaintiffs to consumers within this judicial district for Defendants' o6 commercial gain and have exploited California's extensive marketplace, wherei7 Plaintiffs maintain substantial business contacts and financial interests. Defendant8 have also offered to sell and actually sold counterfeit products (described mor9 fully below) using an interactive internet website and knowing or having reason t

    10 know that consumers throughout the United States, including within this judicia11 district, would purchase said counterfeit goods from Defendants, believing tha12 they were authentic goods manufactured and distributed by Plaintiffs or thei13 authorized manufacturers.14 15. Additionally, supplemental jurisdiction exists over Defendant15 because, on information and belief, Defendants conduct business in California an16 in this judicial district, have purposefully directed action to California and thi17 district, or have otherwise availed themselves of the privileges and protections o18 the laws of the State of California, such that this Court's assertion of jurisdictio19 over Defendants does not offend traditional notions of fair play and due process.20 16. Venue is proper in this district, inter alia, pursuant to 28 U.S.C.21 1391 (b) because, on information and belief, a substantial part of the events o22 omissions giving rise to these claims occurred in this judicial district, and ha23 caused damage to Plaintiffs in this district. The counterfeit BMW-brande24 product was purchased from California and Defendants purposefully shipped th25 counterfeit product within California. Moreover, the counterfeit BMW-brande26 product was paid with funds from a financial institution in California, and th27 transaction was processed through PayPal, Inc., located in California. Defendants'28 actions within this district directly interfere with and damage Plaintiffs'

Plaintiffs' motor vehicles and related products have earned13 reputation for innovation, quality and performance. Plaintiffs have spen14 substantial time, money and effort in developing consumer recognition an15 awareness of their BMW marks and products.

    Defendants' Wrongful and Infringing ConductParticularly in light of the success ofPlaintiffs and Plaintiffs' product

    1 26. A large number of these individuals and entities deal in pirated an2 counterfeit BMW-branded products. Their actions vary and3 manufacturing, copying, exporting, importing, advertising, promoting, selling, an4 distributing counterfeit and otherwise unauthorized products.5 27. Defendants use, amongst other things, the Internet auction websit6 known as www.eBay.com, owned by eBay, Inc., to sell and distribute products7 including counterfeit hard goods bearing Plaintiffs' Marks, described above, t8 consumers. At any given time, there are millions of items listed on eBay for bid o9 purchase by its more than one hundred million (1 00,000,000) registered users.

    10 Buyers have the option to purchase items in an auction-style format where user11 bid on products or items can be purchased at a fixed price through a featur12 referred to as "Buy It Now." Using another eBay feature referred to a13 "Feedback," users who have made a purchase on eBay are given the opportunity t14 post positive, neutral or negative reviews in relation to their buying experience.15 While Feedback can give some indication of sales volume, empirical evidenc16 shows that actual sales far exceed the number of feedback entries a seller receives.17 28. Many of the online commercial transactions accomplished by seller18 such as Defendants are accomplished through the PayPal service provided b19 PayPal, Inc., a corporate affiliate of eBay, Inc. Using PayPal, purchasers o20 products can transfer funds to sellers, electronically and online, from any PayPa21 account to any other PayPal account.22 29. Both eBay, Inc. and PayPal, Inc. are headquartered in California. I23 order for individuals, including Defendants, to make use of eBay.com and it24 PayPal services, any individual user must agree to terms and conditions set forth i25 eBay and PayPal's User Agreements, as well as pay various fees associated wit26 any listing or transaction accomplished through eBay and PayPal 's services.27 30. Defendants own and operate their own interactive and commerc28 enabled webpage on eBay.com under the name "VIP-WHEEL." Through thi

Current listings at that time reflected 1,142 auctio6 listings on eBay for this account.7 31. Through such business activities, Defendants purposely derive8 benefit from their interstate commerce activities by expressly targeting foreseeabl9 purchasers in the State of California. But for Defendants' advertising, solicitin

The customer service email reflects the address of [email protected] with a customer service telephone number that is the same as that telephon19 number printed on the boxes containing the infringing wheels and that is listed o20 each of the respective websites.21 33. Also, on information and belief, Defendants operate the commerc22 enabled and interactive Internet websites www.dp-wheels.com,23 www.milanomotoring.com. These websites offer products identical to those sol24 by Defendants through their "VIP-WHEELS" eBay seller ID, including items tha25 appear to be counterfeit and unauthorized BMW and M marked products. Th26 contact telephone number for making purchases from each of these websites is th27 same telephone number printed on the boxes in which the Plaintiffs investigato28 received the counterfeit infringing wheels described above.

Defendants' conduct and use began long afte5 Plaintiffs' adoption and use of its BMW trademarks and designs, after Plaintiff:6 obtained the trademark and patent registrations alleged above, and after Plaintiffs'7 marks became famous. Indeed, Defendants had knowledge ofPlaintiffs' ownershi8 of the marks, and of the fame in such marks, prior to the actions alleged herein, an9 adopted them in bad faith and with intent to cause confusion, tarnish, counterfei

    10 and dilute Plaintiffs' marks and products.

Defendants' egregious and intentional use and sale of fake, pirate10 and counterfeit items bearing Plaintiffs' asserted marks unfairly competes wi11 Plaintiffs and is likely to cause confusion, mistake, or to deceive, mislead, betray12 and defraud consumers to believe that the substandard imitations are genuin13 BMW or products.14 58.
