Plaintiff Spectrum Diversified Designs, LLC, (Spectrum) for its Complaint against
Defendant Fairly Odd Treasures LLC (Fairly Odd Treasures), alleges as follows:
I.
1.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

This is an action for infringement arising under the patent laws of the United

States, Title 35, United States Code.

II.
2.

JURISDICTION AND VENUE

This Court has original jurisdiction over the subject matter of this action pursuant

to 28 U.S.C. 1331 and 1338(a).

3.

Personal jurisdiction over Fairly Odd Treasures is proper in this district because

Fairly Odd Treasures has a continuous, systematic, and substantial presence within this district
by regularly doing and soliciting business and deriving revenue from goods provided to
individuals in this district, including but not limited to selling its 35 K-Cup Coffee Pod Stand
Holder (infringing product) to consumers in this district and selling into the stream of

2863613.1

Case: 5:16-cv-02702 Doc #: 1 Filed: 11/04/16 2 of 7. PageID #: 2

commerce knowing such product would be sold in Ohio and this district, which acts form a
substantial part of the events giving rise to Spectrums claim.
4.

Venue is proper in this district under 28 U.S.C. 1391(b) and 1400(b).

III.

5.

PARTIES

Spectrum is a limited liability company formed under the laws of Delaware with

its principal place of business at 675 Mondial Parkway, Streetsboro, OH 44241.

6.

Upon information and belief, Fairly Odd Treasures is a limited liability company

formed under the laws of North Carolina with a principal place of business at 5390 Lippard
Lane, Harrisburg, NC 28075.
IV.
7.

FACTUAL BACKGROUND

United States Design Patent Number D656,794 (D794 patent), entitled

DRINK POD HOLDER was duly and legally issued on April 3, 2012, and names Sheldon H.
Goodman and Elizabeth A. Cho as the inventors. A true and correct copy of the D794 patent is
attached as Exhibit 1.
8.

The D794 patent claims the ornamental design for a drink pod holder.

9.

Spectrum is the owner by assignment of the entire right, title, and interest in the

D794 patent.
10.

Spectrum is engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing, and selling

products, many of which are houseware items.

11.

Spectrum sells a single cup coffee caddy, known as the ScrollTM 35-Pod Coffee

Caddy, (Scroll Caddy) that is covered by the D794 patent. Since issuance of the D794 patent,
Spectrum has marked its Scroll Caddy in compliance with 35 U.S.C. 287.

Case: 5:16-cv-02702 Doc #: 1 Filed: 11/04/16 3 of 7. PageID #: 3

12.

Fairly Odd Treasures has and continues to infringe the D794 patent by making,

using, selling, and offering for sale in the United States and importing into the United States
Fairly Odd Treasures infringing product shown herein.
13.

On April 24, 2016, counsel for Spectrum sent Fairly Odd Treasures a cease and

desist letter notifying Fairly Odd Treasures that it was infringing the D794 patent by selling the
infringing product, including through online retailer Amazon.
14.

Upon information and belief, Fairly Odd Treasures has known of the existence of

the D794 patent, and its acts of infringement have been willful and in disregard for the D794
patent, without any reasonable basis for believing that it had a right to engage in the infringing
conduct. Spectrum has marked its Scroll Caddy in compliance with 35 U.S.C. 287, and Fairly
Odd Treasures has had knowledge of the D794 patent since at least April 28, 2016, when it
responded to Spectrums cease and desist letter. Despite assurances that Fairly Odd Treasures
would stop selling the infringing product, Fairly Odd Treasures continues to sell the infringing
product at multiple online retailers, including its own website.
15.

Fairly Odd Treasures acts complained of herein have caused Spectrum to suffer

irreparable injury to its business.

Spectrum will continue to suffer substantial loss and

irreparable injury unless and until Fairly Odd Treasures is enjoined from its wrongful actions
complained of herein.
V.
16.

CLAIM FOR PATENT INFRINGEMENT

Spectrum repeats and re-alleges paragraphs 1 through 15 hereof, as if fully set

forth herein.
17.

Fairly Odd Treasures has been and is infringing the D794 patent by making,

using, selling, and/or offering for sale in the United States, and/or importing into the United

Case: 5:16-cv-02702 Doc #: 1 Filed: 11/04/16 4 of 7. PageID #: 4

States, including within this judicial district, coffee pod stand holders having a design that would
appear to an ordinary observer to be substantially similar to the claim of the D794 patent,
including, for example, Fairly Odd Treasures 35 K-Cup Coffee Pod Stand Holder, as shown
below, which is sold and/or offered for sale on Fairly Odd Treasures website.1

18.

Spectrums Patent
U.S. Patent No. D656,794

Case: 5:16-cv-02702 Doc #: 1 Filed: 11/04/16 5 of 7. PageID #: 5

20.

Fairly Odd Treasures acts of infringement of the D794 patent have caused and

will continue to cause Spectrum damages for which Spectrum is entitled to compensation
pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 284.
21.

Fairly Odd Treasures acts of infringement of the D794 patent have caused and

will continue to cause Spectrum immediate and irreparable harm unless such infringing activities
are enjoined by this Court pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 283. Spectrum has no adequate remedy at

attorneys fees pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 285.

Treasures infringement of the D794 patent pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 289.

WHEREFORE, Spectrum requests judgment against Fairly Odd Treasures as follows:

35 U.S.C. 271;
B.

Granting a preliminary and permanent injunction enjoining Fairly Odd Treasures,

its employees, agents, officers, directors, attorneys, successors, affiliates, subsidiaries, and
assigns, and all of those in active concert and participation with any of the foregoing persons or
entities from infringing the D794 patent;
C.

compensate Spectrum for Fairly Odd Treasures infringement of the D794 patent, with prejudgment and post-judgment interest and costs pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 284;

enhanced damages up to three times the actual amount assessed pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 284;

271, and to pay Spectrum all damages suffered by Spectrum and/or Fairly Odd Treasures total
profit from such infringement pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 289;
F.

Declaring this case exceptional and awarding Spectrum its reasonable attorneys

fees pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 285; and

G.

Awarding such other and further relief as this Court deems just and proper.

I.(a)
(b)
(c)

Plaintiffs-Defendants. Enter names (last, first, middle initial) of plaintiff and defendant. If the plaintiff or defendant is a government agency, use
only the full name or standard abbreviations. If the plaintiff or defendant is an official within a government agency, identify first the agency and
then the official, giving both name and title.
County of Residence. For each civil case filed, except U.S. plaintiff cases, enter the name of the county where the first listed plaintiff resides at the
time of filing. In U.S. plaintiff cases, enter the name of the county in which the first listed defendant resides at the time of filing. (NOTE: In land

in this section "(see attachment)".

II.

Jurisdiction. The basis of jurisdiction is set forth under Rule 8(a), F.R.Cv.P., which requires that jurisdictions be shown in pleadings. Place an "X"
in one of the boxes. If there is more than one basis of jurisdiction, precedence is given in the order shown below.
United States plaintiff. (1) Jurisdiction based on 28 U.S.C. 1345 and 1348. Suits by agencies and officers of the United States are included here.
United States defendant. (2) When the plaintiff is suing the United States, its officers or agencies, place an "X" in this box.

to the Constitution, an act of Congress or a treaty of the United States. In cases where the U.S. is a party, the U.S. plaintiff or defendant code takes
precedence, and box 1 or 2 should be marked.
Diversity of citizenship. (4) This refers to suits under 28 U.S.C. 1332, where parties are citizens of different states. When Box 4 is checked, the
citizenship of the different parties must be checked. (See Section III below; NOTE: federal question actions take precedence over diversity
cases.)

section for each principal party.

IV.

Nature of Suit. Place an "X" in the appropriate box. If the nature of suit cannot be determined, be sure the cause of action, in Section VI below, is
