22 fair play and substantial justice. ELCO is registered to do business in the State of
23 California and has appointed as its agent for service of process its President at 2042

16
25. The ELCO D’494 Patent covers ELCO’s Version B ELL Module.
17
26. The ELCO D’494 Patent was issued on July 12, 2018 based on
18
Application Serial No. 29/594,122 (“the ELCO Design Application”). The
19
application was filed on February 17, 2017 by Brandon Cohen, who on information
20
and belief is Operations Manager of ELCO. Brandon Cohen filed the ELCO Design
21
Application more than two years after DMF started selling the DRD2 Module. On
22
information and belief, Brandon Cohen created the design in the ELCO Design
23
Application by copying DMF’s DRD2 Module, which was already a successful
24
product by the time he filed the ELCO Design Application in February 2017.
25
However, in violation of the duty of good faith and candor owed by all patent
26
applicants to the U.S. Patent Office, Brandon Cohen failed to disclose to the Patent
27
Office that ELCO’s design was based on the DRD2 Module or even cite the DRD2

1 Module to the U.S. Patent Office in connection with his patent application. As a
2 result, on May 2, 2018, the Patent Office Examiner who reviewed the ELCO Design
3 Application, Primary Examiner Angela Lee, allowed the ELCO Design Application
4 to issue as the D’494 Patent.
5 27. Because ELCO’s Brandon Cohen and others who had a duty to disclose
6 the DRD2 prior art to the Patent Office did not inform the Patent Office about
7 DMF’s prior art DRD2 Module and applied for a design patent on it, the U.S. Patent
8 Office was misled into believing that ELCO was the original inventor of DMF’s
9 design. On July 24, 2018, during prosecution of DMF’s own design patent
10 applications, Examiner Angela Lee, who issued the ELCO D’494 Patent, rejected
11 DMF’s claim on the design shown in DMF’s related Application Serial No.
12 29/663,040 as anticipated by ELCO’s ‘D494 Patent. Examiner Lee stated that “the
13 claimed invention was patented, described in a printed publication, or in public use,
14 on sale or otherwise available to the public before the effective filing date of the
15 claimed invention.” Examiner Lee explained the U.S. Patent Office determination
16 that DMF’s design was anticipated by ELCO’s design, stating:
17 “The appearance of D820,494 is substantially the same as that of the
18 claimed design. … Both lighting modules have the same overall shape
19 and proportions, including the same shape and number of fins located
20 on a base with the same recessed and protruding edges, and include the
21 same two circular openings surrounded by a curved linear feature.”1
22 To further demonstrate the similarity in the ELCO and DMF designs,
23 Examiner Lee provided the following comparison of the drawings in ELCO’s
24 D’494 Patent and the DMF patent application then under review:

25
design, or at least a colorable imitation thereof, to the ELL LED Modules for

purposes of sale. ELCO sells and exposes for sale the ELL LED Modules to which
