unsolicited media coverage has refened to the "signature three stripes" (L.A. Times, August 13,

2004),the"famousbrandwiththethreestripes" (SanFranciscoChronicle,July7,2OO2),and

the "legendary Adidas three stripes" (Brand Strategy, September 21 ,1999)

20. adidas's Three-Stripe Mark is well known and famous and has been for many

years. adidas has used the Three-Stripe Mark in connection with its frequent sponsorship of

sports tournaments and organizations, as well as professional athletes and collegiate sports teams.

For example, adidas has long-term relationships with the New York Yankees, Notre Dame, the

University of California at Los Angeles, the University of Nebraska and the University of

Tennessee. Among many others, NBA stars Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, and Tracy McGrady,

professional golfer Sergio Garcia, baseball player Nomar Garciaparra, and soccer stars David

Beckham and Eddie Pope all are sponsored by adidas. For many years, adidas has been a

sponsor of the World Cup soccer tournament, has sponsored the world-famous Boston Marathon

for more than a decade, and has sponsored many other events, teams, and individuals. Prominent

use of the Three-Stripe Mark in connection with these sponsorship activities has further

enhanced the marks' recognition and fame.

21. For many years, adidas has extensively and continuously used and promoted the

Three-Stripe Mark in connection with athletic footwear and sportswear. [n recent years, annual

sales of products bearing the Three-Stripe Mark have totaled in the billions of dollars globally

and in the hundreds of millions of dollars within the United States. The Three-Stripe Mark has

achieved international fame and tremendous public recognition.

B. The SUPERSTAR Trade Dress

22. The SUPERSTAR model is a famous shoe featuring a distinctive appearance.

including a unique and non-functional combination of three stripes on the side of the shoe

parallel to equidistant small holes, a rubber "shell toe," a particularly flat sole and a colored

portion on the outer back heel section, that identifies to consumers that the origin of the product

lies with adidas (the "SUPERSTAR Trade Dress"), as depicted below:

23. Since introducing its SUPERSTAR Trade Dress, adidas has spent hundreds of

thousands of dollars promoting the product and its appearance. As a result of adidas's

continuous and exclusive use of the SUPERSTAR Trade Dress in connection with its products,

the trade dress enjoys wide public acceptance and association with adidas, and has come to be

recognized widely and favorably by the public as an indicator of the origin of adidas's goods.

24. The fame and popularity of the SUPERSTAR Trade Dress, and particularly the

"shell toe" feature, is evident from popular press reports, including the following:

25. As a result of adidas's extensive use and promotion of its SUPERSTAR Trade

Dress, adidas has built up and now owns valuable goodwill that is symbolized by the trade dress.

The purchasing public has come to associate the SUPERSTAR Trade Dress with adidas.

adidas's SUPERSTAR Trade Dress is distinctive and non-functional and has achieved sienificant

DEFENDANT'S UNLAWFUL ACTIVITIES

26. On information and belief, Payless imports, markets, sells, and offers for sale

goods in interstate cornmerce that bear a confusingly similar imitation of adidas's Three-stripe

Mark and are, in many cases, knock-offs of well-known adidas styles. Photographs of these

shoes appear in the attached Exhibit 10.

21 . On information and belief, Payless is importing, marketing, distributing, offering

for sale and selling goods in interstate commerce that bear a confusingly similar imitation of

adidas's SUPERSTAR Trade Dress. One example is depicted below, and others appear in the

manufactured by adidas, nor is Defendant associated or connected with adidas, or licensed,

authorized, sponsored, endorsed or approved by adidas in any way.

29. Plaintiffs used the Three-Stripe Mark and the SUPERSTAR Trade Dress

extensively and continuously before Defendant began using and selling confusingly similar

imitations of Plaintiffs' footwear.

30. The goods sold by Defendant are similar to and compete with goods sold by

Plaintiffs, and these goods are sold through overlapping channels of trade.

31. Defendant's use of confusingly similar imitations of Plaintiffs' Three-Stripe Mark

and SUPERSTAR Trade Dress is likely to deceive, confuse and mislead prospective purchasers

and purchasers into believing that footwear sold by Defendant is manufactured by, authorized by

or in some manner associated with Plaintiffs, which it is not. The likelihood of confusion,

mistake and deception engendered by Defendant's misappropriation of Plaintiffs' mark and trade

dress is causing irreparable harm to the goodwill symbolized by the Three-Stripe Mark and the

SUPERSTAR Trade Dress and the reputation for quality thar they embody.

32. Defendant's activities are likely to cause confusion before, during, and after the

time of purchase because purchasers, prospective purchasers and others viewing Defendant's

footwear at the point of sale or on a wearer are likely -- due to Defendant's use of confusingly

similar imitations of the Three-Stripe Mark and the SUPERSTAR Trade Dress -- to mistakenly

attribute the product to adidas. This is particularly damaging with respect to those persons who

perceive a defect or lack of quality in Defendant's products. By causing such a likelihood of

confusion, mistake and deception, Defendant is inflicting ineparable harm to the goodwill

symbolized by the Three-Stripe Mark and the SUPERSTAR Trade Dress, and the reputation for

quality that they embody.

33. Upon information and belief, Defendant continues to use confusingly similar

imitations of adidas's Three-Stripe Mark and SUPERSTAR Trade Dress in connection with the

sale of products that are directly competitive to those offered by adidas. Defendant began selling

these imitations well after adidas had established protectable rights in its Three-Stripe Mark and

SUPERSTAR Trade Dress.

34. On information and belief, Defendant knowingly, willfully, intentionally and
