    BACKGROUND

    8.

    In about 2003 Dr. Alex Schauss (Schauss) and Ken Murdock (Murdock)

    made discoveries regarding nutritional properties of the aai berry which grows in the rainforests

    of Brazil.

    9. Schauss and Murdock determined that the aai berry was particularly rich inantioxidants and other nutrients which are important for a healthful diet.

    10. Moreover, Schauss and Murdock discovered that by freeze-drying the aai berryand the related juara berry (collectively referred to as aai), they could obtain a powder that had

    a level of antioxidant activity dramatically higher than any other known fruit.

    11. The level of antioxidant activity in food can be described by the Oxygen RadicalAbsorbance Capacity test (ORAC).

    12. The freeze-dried aai powder has been known to have an ORAC value which isnearly 10 times that of the fruit having the next highest ORAC value.

    13. Schauss and Murdock filed for a patent on the technology in 2003 and assignedthe application to K2A.

    14. Dr. Schauss also signed a services agreement with K2A to promote thetechnology covered in the patent application.

    15. In late 2004 K2A was introduced to the owners of a new start-up company calledMonarch Health Sciences, Inc. (Monarch).

    16. Monarch was setting up a multi-level marketing company but needed a product tomarket and sell. Upon learning of K2As aai berry technology, Monarch started making juice

  • 8/13/2019 K2A v. Mona Vie et. al.

    4/24

    4

    prepared from freeze-dried aai as their lead product. Monarch used aai as the featured

    ingredient in most of their products.

    17. Prior to Monarchs launch of its aai products, Monarch orally agreed to pay K2Aa five percent (5%) interest in Monarch for use of K2As technology. Monarch, however, failed

    to provide the stock.

    18. After several months of Monarchs use of K2As technology, K2A insisted thatMonarch would need to finalize the licensing deal if they wished to market products using

    K2As technology. Monarch, however, repeatedly changed the terms under which it would

    license K2As technology.

    19. During spring and summer of 2006, a license agreement (the LicenseAgreement) was negotiated and signed by the parties.

    20. In exchange for an exclusive license in the area network marketing, Monarchagreed to pay K2A licensing fees in two ways. Monarch gave K2A 74,000 shares of stock,

    which was purported to be 1% of the company. Monarch also agreed to pay K2A 20% of all

    K2A-Related Revenue.

    21. K2A-Related Revenue is defined in the License Agreement as all revenuesactually received by Licensee from the sale, use, or other disposition of any promotional items,

    products or materials (educational, sales, and/or training aids) that include either (a) the name,

    image, likeness, photograph, voice, and signature of Alex Schauss, or (b) any reference to the

    Patents, Trademarks, or research, literature, articles or other items produced by K2A, adjusted

    only for refunds actually made.

  • 8/13/2019 K2A v. Mona Vie et. al.

    5/24

    22. The License Agreement also required Monarch to provide K2A with quarterlywritten reports within fifteen (15) days after the end of each quarter during the term of this

    Agreement, stating in each such report the number and description of K2A-Related Revenue and

    reasonable detail regarding the calculation of such K2A-Related Revenue received by Licensee

    during the preceding quarter.

    23. The License Agreement was signed on or about July 21, 2006.24. Shortly after the License Agreement was signed, Monarch merged into MonaVie,

    Inc.

    25. Shortly thereafter, MonaVie, Inc. set up a new operating entity MonaVie, LLC sothat profits from the sales of their products could pass through directly to the shareholders

    without being subjected to corporate taxes. (MonaVie, Inc. and MonaVie, LLC are collectively

    referred hereafter as MonaVie.)

    26. MonaVies sales of products using K2As technology were remarkable.27. MonaVie became the fastest multi-level marketing company to reach 1 billion

    dollars ($1,000,000,000) in total sales.

    28. In 2008 alone, MonaVies sales were estimated to be over $800 million dollars.29. MonaVie utilized Dr. Schauss extensively, including having Dr. Schauss speak at

    MonaVie events worldwide.

    30. MonaVie produced numerous educational, sales, and training materials forMonaVie distributors using the name, likeness, photograph, etc., of Dr. Schauss and discussing

    his research for K2A.

  • 8/13/2019 K2A v. Mona Vie et. al.

    6/24

    6

    31. MonaVie also produced promotional items, products or materials, includingeducational, sales and/or training aids, that referred to K2As patents and research, such as the

    surprisingly high ORAC values of freeze-dried aai.

    32. While MonaVie failed to pay royalties to K2A as required by the LicenseAgreement, it did provide more than $118,000 dollars to Dr. Schauss directly from 2007 to 2009.

    33. K2A was under the understanding that the fees were paid to Schauss were forspeaking fees, as MonaVie was not providing reports to K2A as required by the License

    Agreement.

    34. Only recently did K2A learn that the payments to Schauss were royalties owed toK2A.

    35. On or about July 21, 2009, U.S. Patent No. 7,563,465 was issued to K2A forJuara and Aai Fruit-Based Dietary Supplements. The patent includes 14 claims, and covers

    both the dietary supplement of freeze-dried aai, as well as the method of freeze-drying the aai.

    36. In fall 2009, MonaVie complained to K2A that other companies were utilizingK2As patented technology and therefore violating K2As patents.

    37. While the License Agreement left enforcement of the patents to the sole discretionof K2A, K2A indicated that it would be willing to enforce the patent but needed to receive

    royalty payments from MonaVie in order to pursue the infringers.

    38. MonaVie has not made any royalty payments under the License Agreement toK2A or its principals since at least June of 2009. MonaVie has also failed to provide K2A with

    any of the quarterly reports pursuant to the License Agreement.

  • 8/13/2019 K2A v. Mona Vie et. al.

    7/24

    7

    39. In the summer of 2013, K2A grew frustrated by the lack of any royalties beingpaid pursuant to the License Agreement and began actively investigating the activities of

    MonaVie which would necessitate payment of a royalty under the License Agreement.

    40. Upon investigation, K2A found that MonaVie was producing materials thatreferenced the patents, Dr. Schauss, and K2As research.

    41. These materials referencing the patents and related research were being sold toMonaVie distributors as part of their enrollment kits at prices up to $699.

    42. Pursuant to the License Agreement, the revenue from sales of the enrollment kitsis K2A-Related Revenue and K2A is entitled to 20% of the revenue generated.

    43. It was also discovered that MonaVie obtained further revenue by sellingmarketing, education and training materials, including publications, brochures, video tapes,

    compact disks, digital video disks and other materials which reference Dr. Schauss, K2As

    patents, K2A articles and/or K2As research to MonaVie distributors.

    44. MonaVie also obtained millions of dollars in revenue by holding conventions andconferences for its distributors wherein Dr. Schauss, K2As patents, K2As articles and/or K2As

    research were referenced as part of MonaVies promotion of its products to its distributors and

    potential distributors.

    45. MonaVie also referenced Dr. Schauss, K2As patents and K2As research on itswebsite and has used these references in association with selling product directly from

    MonaVies website.

    46. On information and belief, MonaVie has derived tens of millions of dollars inK2A-Related Revenue.

  • 8/13/2019 K2A v. Mona Vie et. al.

    8/24

    8

    47. MonaVie, however, has consistently failed to provide quarterly reports requiredby the License Agreement and has failed to pay any royalties to K2A or its principals since at

    least June of 2009.

    48. MonaVie has also impaired K2As patent rights in violation of the LicensingAgreement by repeatedly representing to the public and its distributors that the patents belong to

    MonaVie and falsely suggesting that MonaVies founders were the inventors behind K2As

    patents .

    49. On September 17, 2013, K2A sent a notice of termination of the LicenseAgreement to MonaVie in light of MonaVies repeated material breaches of the agreement.

    50. Pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, K2A gave MonaVie 30 days tocure the breaches.

    51. Despite K2As requests, MonaVie failed to provide any reports regarding K2A-Related Revenue as defined by the license agreement from at least June of 2009 through

    September of 2013.

    52. Moreover, MonaVie affirmatively represented that it owed no royalties to K2Adespite the fact the MonaVie has obtained substantial revenue by using the name and image of

    Dr. Schauss, by referencing K2As patents, and by referencing K2As research in its marketing

    educational and training materials, at conventions for distributors, and on its website.

    53. MonaVie also failed to completely cure its breach of the agreement by continuingto falsely represent to the public that it was the owner of K2As technology, including the patents.

    54. On October 18, 2013, K2A confirmed to MonaVies counsel that the licenseagreement was terminated effective October 18, 2013.

  • 8/13/2019 K2A v. Mona Vie et. al.

    9/24

    9

    55. MonaVie practices K2As patents each and every time it makes the products itsells and each time it promotes and offers them for sale.

    56. Yet, remarkably MonaVie claims boththat it has a license to so practice the K2Apatents and that is does notowe K2A any royalties with regard to the agreement that grants them

    the license.

    57. In its correspondence with MonaVie, K2A reminded MonaVie that the products itmakes, sells or offers for sale utilizing K2As technology were no longer licensed and that

    continued manufacture, promotion and sales of those products would constitute willful patent

    infringement.

    58. K2A has also advised MonaVies counsel that direct sales of product onMonaVies website is not permitted by the License Agreement and therefore infringes K2As

    patents.

    59. K2A currently has 5 patents on freeze-dried aai and juara.60. MonaVies products are made using the technology claimed in K2As patents and

    MonaVie has repeatedly represented to its distributors and to the public that its products are

    protected by the patents.

    61. Despite the termination of the license agreement on October 18, 2013, MonaViehas continued to sell fruit juice and dietary supplements which utilize freeze-dried aai and/or

    juara, thereby infringing K2As patents.

    62. MonaVie was fully aware that its products were covered by K2As patents as ithad repeatedly represented to its own distributors and to the public that the products were

    protected by the patents.

  • 8/13/2019 K2A v. Mona Vie et. al.

    10/24

    10

    63. Therefore, MonaVie has willfully infringed the K2A patents.64.

    In addition to failing to pay royalties and willfully infringing K2As patents,

    MonaVie is still falsely representing to the public that it was MonaVie and/or MonaVies

    founders who invented K2As technology regarding juara and aai.

    65. For example, more than a month after K2A asked MonaVie to stop representingK2As technology as being owned by MonaVie, MonaVies website still stated: In 2010, the

    founders took the incredible antioxidant power of aai a step further by developing and patenting

    AaVie.

    66. The same webpage identifies the founders as Dallin Larsen, Henry Marsh, andRandy Larsen.

    67. On information and belief, Dallin Larsen is not listed as an inventor on any patent.68. On information and belief, Henry Marsh is not listed as an inventor on any patent.69. On information and belief, Randy Larsen is not listed as an inventor on any patent.70. The patents covering AaVie as used by MonaVie were actually patents

    granted to K2A.

    71. The false claims of ownership and inventorship by MonaVie regarding K2Astechnology harm K2As ability to sell or license its technology to third parties.

  • 8/13/2019 K2A v. Mona Vie et. al.

    13/24

    13

    82. The License Agreement only gave MonaVie a license to sell products underK2As patents via network marketing sales through distributors, and did not authorize on-line

    sales to end consumers.

    83. MonaVie has infringed the patents by selling fruit juice made with freeze-driedaai and/or juara powder and by selling other dietary supplements which include freeze-dried

    aai and/or juara powder not authorized by the License Agreement.

    84. At the time of the infringing sales, MonaVie was aware that the products it wasselling were not covered by the License Agreement and therefore the infringing sales constituted

    willful infringement.

    85. On information and belief, Defendants Dallin Larsen, Henry Marsh and RandyLarsen personally directed the infringing activities alleged herein and were aware that they

    constituted infringement.

    86. Therefore, K2A makes a claim for Patent Infringement against the Defendants.SECOND CLAIM FOR RELIEF

    14

    90. On numerous occasions, MonaVie has represented that Dallin Larsen, HenryMarsh, and Randy Larsen were the inventors or creators of technology belonging to K2A.

    91. The false representations of fact by MonaVie create a likelihood of confusionamongst MonaVies distributors and the public as to the true owners and true inventors of K2As

    technology used by MonaVie and damages K2A.

    92. Therefore, K2A sets forth a claim against MonaVie for false advertising under theLanham Act.
