defendant), allege as follows:

PARTIES
1. Plaintiff Skechers U.S.A., Inc. is a corporation duly organized and existing
under the laws of the State of Delaware with a principal place of business located at 228
Manhattan Beach Blvd., Manhattan Beach, California 90266.
2. Plaintiff Skechers U.S.A., Inc. II is a corporation duly organized and

3. On information and belief, Defendant Fila U.S.A. Inc. is a Delaware
corporation having an office and place of business at 1 Fila Way, Sparks, Maryland
21152.
4. Defendants Does 1 10, inclusive, are sued herein under fictitious names.
Their true names and capacities are unknown to Skechers. When their true names and
capacities are ascertained, Skechers will amend this complaint by inserting their true

6. This Court has personal jurisdiction over defendants because they have
committed one or more of the infringing acts complained of herein in California and in
this district, they have multiple sales outlets in California and in this district, and they do
regular business in California and in this district.
7. Venue in this Court is proper under the provisions of 28 U.S.C. 1391(b)
and (c) because a substantial part of the claims arose in this district.

NATURE OF THE ACTION
8. This is an action for design patent infringement, trade dress infringement,
dilution, and unfair competition.
9. Skechers is a multi-billion-dollar global leader in the lifestyle footwear
industry. Skechers is also a high-performance footwear brand and a world leader in
designing cutting-edge footwear. It has invested and spent hundreds of millions of
dollars creating and promoting its new shoe designs. One such new ornamental design is
embodied in its SKECHERS GO WALK
shoe. The SKECHERS GO WALK
shoe
has been heavily advertised on TV, in magazines, and the Internet. In approximately the
last year alone, Skechers has spent more than $10 million promoting, marketing and
advertising its SKECHERS GO WALK
shoe. The shoe has been featured in several

widely aired television commercials and has been the subject of a number of magazine
articles. The innovative design of the SKECHERS GO WALK
shoe has significantly

contributed to the success of the Skechers GO series of footwear culminating in a Brand
of the Year award from Footwear News in late 2013. See Exhibit 1. The fame and
popularity of the SKECHERS GO WALK
shoe can be measured by the fact that

millions of pairs of SKECHERS GO WALK
shoes have been sold since its

introduction on the market.
10. Skechers incorporated a new and unique trade dress into the design of its
SKECHERS GO WALK
shoe in order to identify that shoe as emanating from a single

source.

11. The United States Patent and Trademark Office has acknowledged the
novel, non-obvious, and ornamental appearance of the shoe upper of the SKECHERS
GO WALK
shoe by issuing U.S. Patent Nos. D661,884 S (Exhibit 2, the " '884 patent")
and D688,446 S (Exhibit 3, the " '446 patent") therefore to Skechers.
12. Defendant Fila has been, and presently is, willfully infringing the
SKECHERS GO WALK
shoe trade dress.

13. Defendant Fila has been, and presently is, willfully infringing the '884
patent and the '446 patent by making and selling shoes that embody the patented
invention disclosed in those patents.
14. Defendant Fila's infringing shoes include, at least, the models identified by
Fila as the AMAZEN MEMORY MOC shoe. Defendant Fila's AMAZEN MEMORY
MOC shoe infringes Skechers' SKECHERS GO WALK
shoe trade dress. Defendant's

conduct is likely to cause confusion, mistake and deception among the general
purchasing public. Defendant has profited and is profiting from such trade dress
infringement and unfair competition.
15. Before filing this action, plaintiff Skechers gave written notice of its claims
of infringement and unfair competition to defendant Fila and requested that Fila
discontinue its infringement and unfair competition through a letter dated July 19, 2013.
16. On or about August 20, 2013, defendant Fila agreed to cease making the
AMAZEN MEMORY MOC model referenced in Skechers' July 19, 2013 letter
("Version 1"). Fila further stated that it has redesigned its AMAZEN MEMORY MOC
shoe (presumably "Version 2").
17. Despite such notice, defendant Fila continues to willfully, wantonly and
deliberately engage in acts of patent infringement, trade dress infringement, dilution, and
unfair competition with its AMAZEN MEMORY MOC shoe.

SKECHERS GO WALK
SHOE TRADE DRESS AND DILUTION

Fig. 1 - SKECHERS GO WALK
Shoe Trade Dress

23. This SKECHERS GO WALK
shoe trade dress has an ornamental

configuration that uniquely identifies the shoe as emanating from a single source,
namely, Skechers. As can be seen in the following photographs, the distinctive
ornamental features of the SKECHERS GO WALK
shoe trade dress are (1) the unique

curvature outline in flat lock stitching emanating from the lateral side of the toe cap and
terminating in the mid-foot area in a downward curve along the lateral side of the shoe
upper (outlined in green in Fig. 2), (2) the unique curvature outline in flat lock stitching
emanating from the medial side of the toe cap and terminating in the mid-foot area in a
downward curve along the medial side of the shoe upper (outlined in green in Fig. 3),
(3) the distinct curvature outline in flat lock stitching on both the medial and lateral sides
of the heel area (outlined in green in Fig. 4), (4) the reduced toe cap edging at the edge
of the upper toe line (as indicated by a green oval in Fig. 5), and (5) the iconic portal
hole in the back of the shoe (as indicated by a green rectangle in Fig. 6):

24. The unique ornamental appearance of the SKECHERS GO WALK
shoe
trade dress, combined with Skechers' extensive advertising, promotion, and sales, has
resulted in the SKECHERS GO WALK
shoe acquiring distinctiveness among shoe

buyers. In the mind of the typical shoe buyer, the SKECHERS GO WALK
shoe trade
dress is believed to emanate from a single source, namely, Skechers. This acquired
distinctiveness is protectable, proprietary trade dress owned exclusively by Skechers.
25. Rather than undertake the hard work and financial risks involved in
developing their own shoe trade dress, defendant simply copied Skechers' SKECHERS
GO WALK
shoe trade dress. In this regard, Version 1 of defendant's AMAZEN

MEMORY MOC shoe is shown below.

lock stitching emanating from the lateral side of the toe cap and terminating in the mid-
foot area in a downward curve along the lateral side of the shoe upper (depicted by the
red and green rectangles in Figs. 8(a) and 8(b)), (2) the same unique curvature outline in

27. By using Skechers SKECHERS GO WALK
shoe trade dress on

defendant's shoes, defendant deceives consumers into buying defendant's shoes in the
mistaken belief that defendant's shoes emanate from Skechers and are genuine Skechers
shoes.
28. Skechers provided written notice of its claims of infringement to defendant
Fila on July 19, 2013. Despite Fila's agreement to cease manufacture of the AMAZEN
MEMORY MOC (Version 1), and redesign its AMAZEN MEMORY MOC shoe,
Version 1 of the infringing AMAZEN MEMORY MOC shoe is still available for
purchase nearly one year after Skechers' written notice.
29. Defendant Fila's redesigned AMAZEN MEMORY MOC (Version 2) has
been, and presently is infringing Skechers' '884 patent.

FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION
[Design Patent Infringement, Patent No. US D661,884 S]
30. Skechers realleges and incorporates by reference the full text of all of the
foregoing numbered paragraphs, photographs and figures as though each such
paragraph, photograph and figure has been fully set forth hereat.
31. On June 19, 2012, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued
United States Patent, Patent No. US D661,884 S (the " '884 patent") therefore to
Skechers. At all times since the date of issue of the '884 patent, Skechers has been, and
currently is, the exclusive owner of the entire right, title and interest in and to the '884
patent. Skechers' ownership of the '884 patent includes without limitation the exclusive
right to enforce the '884 patent, the exclusive right to file actions based on infringement
of the '884 patent, and the exclusive right to recover damages or other monetary amounts
for infringement of the '884 patent and to be awarded injunctive relief pertaining to the
'884 patent. Skechers has owned the '884 patent at all times during defendant's
infringement of the '884 patent.

32. Defendant has been, and presently is, infringing the '884 patent within this
judicial district and elsewhere by making and selling shoes that embody the patented
invention disclosed in the '884 patent. Defendant's infringement of the '884 patent is
willful. Defendant's infringing shoes include, at least, the models identified by
defendant Fila as the AMAZEN MEMORY MOC shoe (Versions 1 and 2). Defendant
will continue to manufacture and sell their AMAZEN MEMORY MOC shoes unless
enjoined by this Court.
33. The shoe upper of defendant's AMAZEN MEMORY MOC shoe (Versions
1 and 2) so closely resembles the invention disclosed in the '884 patent that an ordinary
observer would be deceived into purchasing the AMAZEN MEMORY MOC shoe in the
mistaken belief that it includes the invention disclosed in the '884 patent. Defendant's
AMAZEN MEMORY MOC shoe infringes the '884 patent in violation of 35 U.S.C.
271 and 289.
34. Due to Defendant's infringement of the '884 patent, Skechers has suffered,
is suffering, and will continue to suffer irreparable injury for which Skechers has no
adequate remedy at law. Skechers is therefore entitled to a permanent injunction against
defendant's further infringing conduct.
35. Defendant has profited and is profiting from its infringement of the '884
patent and Skechers has been and is being damaged and losing profit by such
infringement. Skechers is therefore entitled to recover damages from the defendant and
the total profit derived from such infringement, all in an amount to be proven at trial.

United States Patent, Patent No. US D688,446 S (the " '446 patent") therefore to
Skechers. At all times since the date of issue of the '446 patent, Skechers has been, and
currently is, the exclusive owner of the entire right, title and interest in and to the '446
patent. Skechers' ownership of the '446 patent includes without limitation the exclusive
right to enforce the '446 patent, the exclusive right to file actions based on infringement
of the '446 patent, and the exclusive right to recover damages or other monetary amounts
for infringement of the '446 patent and to be awarded injunctive relief pertaining to the
'446 patent. Skechers has owned the '446 patent at all times during defendant's
infringement of the '446 patent.
38. Defendant has been, and presently is, infringing the '446 patent within this
judicial district and elsewhere by making and selling shoes that embody the patented
invention disclosed in the '446 patent. Defendant's infringement of the '446 patent is
willful. Defendant's infringing shoes include, at least, the models identified by
defendant Fila as the AMAZEN MEMORY MOC shoe (Version 1). Defendant will
continue to manufacture and sell their AMAZEN MEMORY MOC shoes unless
enjoined by this Court.
39. The shoe upper of defendant's AMAZEN MEMORY MOC shoe (Version
1) so closely resembles the invention disclosed in the '446 patent that an ordinary
observer would be deceived into purchasing the AMAZEN MEMORY MOC shoe in the
mistaken belief that it includes the invention disclosed in the '446 patent. Defendant's
AMAZEN MEMORY MOC shoe infringes the '446 patent in violation of 35 U.S.C.
271 and 289.
40. Due to Defendant's infringement of the '446 patent, Skechers has suffered,
is suffering, and will continue to suffer irreparable injury for which Skechers has no
adequate remedy at law. Skechers is therefore entitled to a permanent injunction against
defendant's further infringing conduct.

41. Defendant has profited and is profiting from its infringement of the '446
patent and Skechers has been and is being damaged and losing profit by such
infringement. Skechers is therefore entitled to recover damages from the defendant and
the total profit derived from such infringement, all in an amount to be proven at trial.

THIRD CAUSE OF ACTION
[SKECHERS GO WALK
Shoe Trade Dress - Federal Unfair Competition and

Trade Dress Infringement; 15 U.S.C. 1125(a)]
43. Skechers has acquired exclusive and protectable trade dress rights
shoe trade dress. By the acts and omissions

set forth above, defendant is violating Lanham Act 43(a), 15 U.S.C. 1125(a) and is
unfairly competing with Skechers. Defendant's use in commerce of the SKECHERS GO
WALK
shoe trade dress on its AMAZEN MEMORY MOC shoe (Version 1)

constitutes a false designation of origin and a false and misleading representation of fact
which is likely to cause confusion, and to cause mistake, and to deceive by wrongly
suggesting that defendants AMAZEN MEMORY MOC shoe has some affiliation,
connection, or association with Skechers. Such use by defendant of its AMAZEN
MEMORY MOC shoe is also likely to cause confusion, and to cause mistake, and to
deceive as to the origin, sponsorship, or approval of defendant's AMAZEN MEMORY
MOC shoe. Such use by defendant of its AMAZEN MEMORY MOC shoe constitutes
trade dress infringement in violation of Lanham Act 43(a), 15 U.S.C. 1125(a).
44. Defendant has infringed, and continues to infringe, Skechers' SKECHERS
GO WALK
shoe trade dress with Defendant's AMAZEN MEMORY MOC shoe

and unfair competition, and Skechers has been and is being damaged and losing profit by
such infringement and unfair competition. Skechers is therefore entitled to recover
damages and profits from defendant in an amount to be proved at trial as a consequence
of defendant's violations of Lanham Act 43(a), 15 U.S.C. 1125(a).

FOURTH CAUSE OF ACTION
[Federal Dilution 15 U.S.C. 1125(c)]

Brand of the Year: Skechers Go
By GERALD FLORES
Skechers Go has gone a long distance in a short period of time.
Since entering the performance market two years ago with
GoRun, the company has broadened the series to span training,
walking and, most recently, golf. Now the firms athletic products
have helped spur topline growth.
We have key products driving sales in our performance lines for
men, women and kids, and these success stories are translating to
markets around the world, said Skechers President Michael
Greenberg, adding that demand for Go helped drive a 20-percent
gain in net sales during the third quarter. Across all divisions, we
are firing on all cylinders, and we know we have the right
product, creative marketing and distribution to build on our
success for years to come.
Still, getting Skechers Go off the ground wasnt easy. Known
more for its accessibly priced footwear, the firm had to make
adjustments to start developing performance-based products.
It took six months of working on philosophically changing the
way we built shoes, said David Raysse, VP of design for
Skechers Performance Division. We had to make it lightweight,
and that became the benchmark for all the shoes that have come
about from the line.
The running collection also has expanded to include a signature
line for brand endorser and Olympic marathoner Meb Keflezighi,
who recently re-signed with Skechers through 2016.
Having personally raced in the Skechers GoRun and set personal
records wearing them, I can attest to the fact that the brand is
hitting the right chord with this line, and they are what runners
are looking for in a shoe, Keflezighi said. I am proud to have
been an early adopter, supporter and ambassador since the
launch, and I know this is just the beginning of whats to come
from Skechers Performance.
Rick Higgins, VP of merchandising and marketing for the
Skechers Performance Division, said the Go series is obtainable
for the mass market, which explains its overwhelming success.
Weve brought innovation to the market at a price point thats easily accessible for mainstream consumers, he
said.
A variety of marketing has garnered major buzz as well. During this years Super Bowl, the brand touted GoRun
in a 30-second commercial.
And grassroots tactics have enhanced the strategy. Skechers participated in 12 Rock n Roll marathons this year
and acted as the key footwear and apparel sponsor for the Houston Marathon.
These have been significant for us because the core consumers have been easy adopters of our brand when weve
shown up at those venues, Higgins said. Weve been able to grow our specialty running account base. They see
our willingness to be in this business for the long term.
A Runners Mind in San Francisco and San Luis Obispo, Calif., just brought in the shoes last month after
Skechers provided pairs for fun runs hosted by the store.
In the beginning, I was hesitant when they approached us. Being a running store, you dont want to lose
credibility by bringing in any iffy product, said Faisal Javed, store manager at A Runners Mind. But we took it
out, hammered out some miles and it was something I enjoyed running in and could stand behind. And the
response [has been] positive: We put it on 30 to 40 people for a fun run, and two or three people actually wanted
to put in orders that day.
Raysse said that due to competition in the performance segment from more-established brands, making a name
will take time for Skechers.
When it comes to performance, youre talking about purist consumers who are very knowledgeable and brand
loyal, he said. Were still at a point where many people dont know that we make performance product, but
were encouraged by the success weve had in a little amount of time.
SportsOneSource analyst Matt Powell said he foresees Skechers walking segment as having the most long-term
potential. The analyst estimated that GoWalk already accounts for about $300 million in sales for the brand.
GoRun is a very credible performance product, but [those] retailers are difficult to break into, Powell said. Go-
Walk is much more suited to the more traditional Skechers retailers family footwear, moderate department
stores and thats where the real success has been.
Famous Footwears Jason Short, VP and DMM of footwear, said Skechers has capitalized on the idea for the Go
series and created a whole stable of successful lines.
Skechers Go, in particular GoWalk, has transformed the walking category overnight with our consumers, said
Short. Skechers is able to take its Go technology across categories quickly. This benefit, combined with the
shoes fashion sensibility, gives Skechers a great competitive advantage.
Looking ahead, Skechers plans to enter more performance categories, as well as expand its golf line. Marketing
also will ramp up next year, with a new digital campaign in partnership with Google and several TV spots with
Keflezighi.

Weve just started to tap into the success of Go, said Higgins, and it will continue to grow for us as we expand
into different categories in the future.
