FOURTH CAUSE OF ACTION VIOLATIONS OF THE LANHAM ACT: TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT, UNFAIR COMPETITION, AND FALSE DESIGNATION OF ORIGIN 61. The allegations of the preceding paragraphs are hereby incorporated by reference in this section as though set forth fully herein. 62. Since 2011, Hydro Flask has advertised and promoted the sale of its insulated vacuum bottles and bottle lids in connection with the Hydro Flask Marks. Hydro Flask s goods bearing the Hydro Flask Marks have acquired an excellent reputation as well as celebrity by purchasers who recognize the distinctive marks. 63. Hydro Flask has used and continues to use the Hydro Flask Marks in commerce throughout the United States, including in Oregon and Hawaii. 64. Hydro Flask s use of the Hydro Flask Marks is distinctive in connection with the goods bearing the Hydro Flask Marks. 65. Hydro Flask has never authorized 808 HI-DR8 to use the Hydro Flask Marks or any similar marks. 808 HI-DR8 has no license or authority from Hydro Flask permitting the use of the Hydro Flask Marks or any similar marks on bottles or bottle lids. 66. Notwithstanding Hydro Flask s established rights, 808 HI-DR8 markets, offers for sale, and/or sells products, including at least insulated bottles and bottle lids, under confusingly similar marks to Hydro Flask s products bearing the Hydro Flask Marks. 67. 808 HI-DR8 currently markets, offers for sale, and/or sells products, including at least insulated bottles and bottle lids, under the Accused Marks. 68. Upon information and belief, the Accused Marks are confusingly similar to the Hydro Flask Marks. Page 10

Case 3:15-cv-00058-AA Document 1 Filed 01/12/15 Page 11 of 17 69. Upon information and belief, the Hi-DRO FLASK Mark is confusingly similar to the Hydro Flask Marks. For example, Hi-DRO FLASK is confusingly similar to HYDRO FLASK, at least for the reason that they are visually similar and identical in pronunciation. 70. Upon information and belief, the HI-DR8 Mark is confusingly similar to the Hydro Flask Marks. For example, the term HI-DR8 is confusingly similar to the term HYDRO, at least for the reason that the 8 and 0 are visually similar elements and create the same commercial impression. 71. Upon information and belief, the HI-DR8 Composite Mark is confusingly similar to the Hydro Flask Marks. For example, the palm tree shaped design in the HI-DR8 Composite Mark is confusingly similar to Hydro Flask s mark, and the term HI-DR8 is confusingly similar to the term HYDRO, at least for the reason that the palm tree shaped design and Y are visually similar elements and create the same commercial impression. 72. Upon information and belief, the HI-DR8 Composite Mark and HI-DR8 Mark is confusingly similar to Hydro Flask s HYDRATE YOUR LIFE mark. For example, the term HI- DR8 is confusingly similar to the term HYDRATE, at least for the reason that they are visually similar and identical in pronunciation. 73. Upon information and belief, 808 HI-DR8 first began using the Accused Marks in connection with the insulated vacuum bottles and bottle lids on or around November 2014. 74. Upon information and belief, 808 HI-DR8 is a direct competitor of Hydro Flask. 75. Upon information and belief, 808 HI-DR8 promotes its goods in some of the same or similar channels, and to some of the same or similar consumers as does Hydro Flask. 76. Hydro Flask has requested that 808 HI-DR8 cease and desist from its infringing actions that violate federal and state laws, but 808 HI-DR8 has not complied with this request. Page 11

Case 3:15-cv-00058-AA Document 1 Filed 01/12/15 Page 12 of 17 77. Upon information and belief, 808 HI-DR8 has engaged in this infringing activity despite having actual knowledge of Hydro Flask s trademark rights in the Hydro Flask Marks. 78. 808 HI-DR8 s actions are likely to lead the public to conclude incorrectly that 808 HI-DR8 s goods originate with, are related to, or are authorized or sponsored by Hydro Flask, which will damage both Hydro Flask and the public. 79. Upon information and belief, 808 HI-DR8 s actions are intended to enrich 808 HI-DR8. 80. Upon information and belief, 808 HI-DR8 has advertised and offered its goods for sale using the Accused Marks with the intention of misleading, deceiving, or confusing consumers as to the origin of its goods and of trading on Hydro Flask s reputation and goodwill. 81. Upon information and belief, 808 HI-DR8 s activities are likely to cause confusion and have caused confusion among Hydro Flask s customers and potential customers. 82. 808 HI-DR8 s unauthorized use of the Accused Marks in connection with the sale, offering for sale, distribution, and advertising of goods in U.S. commerce is likely to cause confusion, mistake, or deception. 83. 808 HI-DR8 s unauthorized use of the Accused Marks in interstate commerce as described above constitutes trademark infringement and unfair competition under 15 U.S.C. 1114(1) and 1125(a) and is likely to cause consumer confusion, mistake, or deception. 84. 808 HI-DR8 s unauthorized marketing and sale of its goods in interstate commerce using the confusingly similar marks constitutes a false designation of origin or false representation that wrongfully and falsely designates 808 HI-DR8 s goods as originating from or connected with Hydro Flask, and constitutes the use of false descriptions or representations in interstate commerce in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1125(a).

Case 3:15-cv-00058-AA Document 1 Filed 01/12/15 Page 13 of 17 85. Upon information and belief, as a direct and proximate result of 808 HI-DR8 s trademark infringement and acts of unfair competition, Hydro Flask has suffered irreparable harm to its business and reputation, and also has suffered and continues to suffer damages in an amount to be determined by the trier of fact. 86. Upon information and belief, as a direct and proximate result of 808 HI-DR8 s trademark infringement and acts of unfair competition, 808 HI-DR8 has unjustly profited from those acts. 87. Upon information and belief, 808 HI-DR8 s trademark infringement and acts of unfair competition will cause further irreparable injury to Hydro Flask if 808 HI-DR8 is not restrained by this Court from further violation of Hydro Flask s rights. 88. Upon information and belief, 808 HI-DR8 s activities are deliberate and willful. 89. Hydro Flask has no adequate remedy at law. 90. The goodwill and reputation for quality that Hydro Flask has worked hard and long to cultivate has been threatened by 808 HI-DR8 s actions. 91. Unless 808 HI-DR8 is enjoined from the use of the Accused Marks on the insulated bottles, bottle lids and other goods, such use will continue to cause consumer confusion and will continue to cause irreparable harm to Hydro Flask and the public.
