Plaintiffs adidas America, Inc. and adidas AG (collectively, adidas) state the following
for their Complaint against Defendant Marc Jacobs International, LLC (Marc Jacobs or
Defendant).
I.
1.
INTRODUCTION
For decades, adidas has manufactured, sold, and promoted apparel and footwear
bearing its famous and distinctive Three-Stripe trademark (the Three-Stripe Mark). adidas
owns numerous incontestable federal trademark registrations for its Three-Stripe Mark for
apparel and footwear, and adidas has invested millions of dollars building its brand in connection
with the Three-Stripe Mark.
2.
Mark, Marc Jacobs has engaged in designing, sourcing, manufacturing, distributing, marketing,
promoting, offering for sale, and/or selling apparel bearing confusingly similar imitations of
adidass Three-Stripe Mark. Marc Jacobss apparel is not manufactured by adidas, nor is Marc
Jacobs connected or affiliated with, or authorized by, adidas in any way. Marc Jacobss
merchandise is likely to cause confusion, deceive the public regarding its source, and dilute and
tarnish the distinctive quality of adidass Three-Stripe Mark.
3.
This is an action at law and in equity for trademark infringement and dilution,
unfair competition, and deceptive trade practices, arising under the Trademark Act of 1946,
15 U.S.C. 1051, et. seq. (2009); the anti-dilution laws of several states; the fair business
practices and unfair and deceptive trade practices acts of several states; and the common law.
Among other relief, adidas asks this Court to: (a) permanently enjoin Marc Jacobs from
marketing or selling apparel bearing confusingly similar four-stripe imitations of the ThreeStripe Mark; (b) award adidas statutory and/or monetary damages and to treble any monetary
damages award; (c) require Marc Jacobs to disgorge all profits from sales of the infringing
apparel; and (d) award adidas punitive damages, attorneys fees, and costs.

adidas also has collaborated extensively with fashion designers, including Stella
McCartney, Jeremy Scott, and Yohji Yamamoto, to create high-end product lines that
prominently feature the Three-Stripe Mark. Specifically, and of particular importance here, in
2002, in collaboration with fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto, adidas introduced its Y-3 line of
apparel featuring its Three-Stripe Mark. Since launching the Y-3 line, adidas consistently has
marketed, promoted, and sold it through higher-end channels of trade (such as boutique retail

Since its launch, the Y-3 line has achieved fame in the United States and abroad,
and is the subject of an award-winning documentary film entitled Yohji Yamamoto: This is My
Dream and a book entitled 10 Years of Y-3: The Book, which was released in celebration of Y3s ten-year anniversary.
25.
For decades, adidas extensively and continuously has used and promoted the
Three-Stripe Mark in connection with footwear and apparel, including the Y-3 brand. In 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 ThreeStripe Mark has achieved international fame and tremendous public recognition.
26.
Since introducing its Three-Stripe Mark, adidas has spent millions of dollars
promoting the mark and products bearing the mark. As but one example, in March 2011, adidas
launched an advertising campaign in the United States featuring Chicago Bulls guard Derrick
Rose, rapper B.o.B and pop singer Katy Perry, among others, that highlights [adidass] imprint
on the worlds of sports, music and fashion, and show[s] the breadth and depth of the Adidas
brand. A March 15, 2011 article from The Oregonian describing the advertising campaign is
attached as Exhibit 9. As a result of adidass continuous and exclusive use of the Three-Stripe
Mark in connection with its products, the mark 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 adidass goods.

adidas has built up and now owns extremely valuable goodwill that is symbolized by the mark.
The purchasing public has come to associate the Three-Stripe Mark with adidas.
