DEFENDANTS' WRONGFUL ACTS
14. Wiesner, without the consent of PONY, has manufactured, advertised, distributed,
offered for sale and/or sold in interstate commerce, socks bearing counterfeits and infringements
of the PONY Trademarks.
15. Haddad, without the consent of PONY, has advertised, distributed, offered for
sale and/or sold in interstate commerce, socks bearing counterfeits and infringements of the
PONY Trademarks.
16. L&S, the exclusive licensee of the PONY Trademarks, as of June 13, 2013, has
had the exclusive right to use the marks in commerce, and has never authorized or consented to
Defendants' use of the PONY Trademarks or any reproduction, counterfeit, copy or colorable
imitation thereof.
17. Wiesner was a former licensee for PONY.
18. Wiesner's license to manufacture and distribute products bearing the PONY
Trademarks expired as of December 31, 2012.
19. Pursuant to an agreement with PONY, Wiesner was given until May 31, 2013 to
sell-off any inventory in its possession as of December 31, 2012.
20. After the expiration of its license with PONY, Wiesner ordered and caused to be
manufactured socks bearing the PONY Trademarks. These socks bore counterfeits and
infringements of the PONY Trademarks. Wiesner then advertised, distributed, offered for sale
and/or sold in interstate commerce the socksbearing counterfeits and infringements of the
PONY Trademarks.
11888154vl
21. Additionally, prior to the expiration of its license with PONY, Wiesner ordered
socks bearing the PONY Trademarks, but did not receive those socks - and knew that it would
