BACKGROUND FACTS

Samick’s SOHMER Trademarks and Pending Trademark Applications 6.

Samick has been using the SOHMER™ trademark continuously since at least

5

2003 in connection with one of the highest quality lines of pianos in the world and, upon

6

information. Samick is informed and based thereon believes that its predecessors-in-interest have

7

likewise been using the SOHMER™ trademark continuously before that time since at least as

8

early as 1872 in connection with one of the highest quality lines of pianos in the world.

9

7.

Samick is informed and based thereon believes that in or about 1872, Hugo

10

Sohmer, a German immigrant in New York founded the Sohmer & Co., Inc. and adopted and

11

began using the SOHMER trademark on his pianos made with the highest craftsmanship. Sohmer

12

& Co., Inc. changed its name to Sohmer Corporation in 1989, merged with Mason & Hamlin Co.

13

in 1994, and was purchased by Burgett, Inc. in 1996.

14

8.

Samick is informed and based thereon believes that Burgett has been using the

15

SOHMER trademark on its pianos and related products and components therefor since at least as

16

early as 1996, when it acquired the SOHMER trademark, along with all of the assets of Mason &

17

Hamlin Co., including its original piano rim presses, the long-standing factory in Haverhill,

18

Massachusetts’ historic district, and a completely documented computer-based archive of the

19

authentic piano designs.

20

9.

On or about 2002, Samick acquired the exclusive license to sell musical

21

instruments, namely pianos, using the SOHMER trademark.

22

acquired by assignment from Burgett, Inc. all rights, title, and interest in and to all of Burgett,

23

Inc.’s rights in the SOHMER trademarks and the business pertaining thereto. Accordingly, at all

24

times relevant to this action up until it acquired outright the foregoing SOHMER trademarks and

25

trademark applications, Samick was the exclusive licensee of the SOHMER trademarks.

26 27 28

10.

On March 11, 2009, Samick

Consequently and by written assignment, Samick is the current owner (by

assignment) of the following trademarks: a.

These trademarks were previously registered as U.S. Trademark Registration Nos. 85,691;

5

119,130; 137,464; 1,786,687; but each of these registrations was subsequently deemed canceled

6

by United States Patent and Trademark Office due to the failure of a predecessor-in-interest to

7

timely file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office the necessary trademark

8

registration renewal papers; and

9

e.

SOHMER and Shield Design with Black Piano;

10

This trademark was previously the subject of U.S. Trademark Application Serial No.

11

76/535,595; but this application was subsequently deemed abandoned by United States Patent and

12

Trademark Office due to the failure of a predecessor-in-interest to timely file with the United

13

States Patent and Trademark Office a response to a non-final office action.

14

The foregoing five (5) trademarks referenced in this paragraph are hereinafter collectively

15

referred to as the “SOHMER trademarks.” Attached hereto as Exhibits 1 through 5 are true and

16

correct copies of the Trademark Office records pertaining to these five previously registered

17

trademarks.

18

By written assignment, Samick is also the current owner and applicant of the following

19

federal trademark applications:

20

a.

U.S. Trademark Application Serial No. 76/214,968 for SOHMER; and

21

b.

U.S. Trademark Application Serial No. 76/546,304 for SOHMER &

23

On or about October 25, 2002, the United States Patent and Trademark Office erroneously

24

converted SOHMER Trademark Application Serial No. 76/214,968 to the Supplemental Register.

25

The United States Patent and Trademark Office ultimately reversed this error, found this

26

application allowable, the published it for opposition.

11.

Samick manufactures and sells musical instruments, namely high-end pianos, and

4

related products and components therefor under the SOHMER trademark. Samick has at all times

5

relevant to this action appropriately accompanied the SOHMER trademarks with the proper

6

trademark notice on all such pianos and on their labels, tags, and packaging. Samick is informed

7

and based thereon believes that Samick’s predecessors-in-interest also always appropriately

8

accompanied the SOHMER trademarks with the proper trademark notice on all such pianos and

9

on their labels, tags, and packaging.

10

12.

Although the trademark registrations have expired, they constitute further

11

evidence, along with the chain of title for each as recorded with the United States Patent and

12

Trademark Office, that Samick’s current commercial use of the SOHMER trademark justifiably

13

relates back to 1872. In the more than 135 years since the humble beginning by Hugo Sohmer,

14

Samick and its predecessors-in-interest developed SOHMER into one of the most revered

15

trademarks in the piano market.

16

13.

Samick currently maintains its website, www.smcmusic.com, wherein it advertises

17

the current well-known lines of SOHMER grand pianos. Attached hereto as Exhibit 8 are true and

18

correct copies of web pages from Samick’s www.smcmusic.com website showing the SOHMER

19

brand pianos and mark.

B.

Defendant’s Infringing Use and Interference

21

14.

Samick is informed and based thereon believes that Defendant has been and is

22

currently using the SOHMER mark on or in connection with the sale of pianos without any

23

authorization from Samick or any of Samick’s predecessors-in-interest.

24 25 26

15.

Samick is informed and based thereon believes that Defendant has offered for sale

and has made sales of pianos using the SOHMER trademark to consumers in this judicial district. 16.

Samick is informed and based thereon believes that Defendant used the SOHMER

27

trademark in connection with pianos with full knowledge of Samick’s and Samick’s

28

predecessors’-in-interest ownership of and senior rights in and to the SOHMER trademark. 5

According to the trade show directory, Defendant was advertising “Sohmer & Co.

Pianos,” “Sohmer Pianos,” and “Sohmer & Son Pianos,” showing the same mailing address as

9

Defendant’s pending trademark application.

10

20.

Samick is informed and based thereon believes that, on February 15, 2001, Edward

11

F. Richards filed a federal intent-to-use trademark application for SOHMER for pianos, which

12

was given U.S. Trademark Application Serial No. 76/210,248.

13

testified in writing and under oath to the United States Patent and Trademark Office that he first

14

used SOHMER in commerce in connection with pianos on June 26, 2001. On or about October

15

8, 2002, Mr. Richards assigned his rights in the application to his company, the Defendant. On

16

September 26, 2002, the United States Patent and Trademark Office entered a notice of

17

suspension in Trademark Application Serial No. 76/210,248 pending the disposition of the above-

18

mentioned SOHMER Trademark Application Serial No. 76/214,968 owned by Samick. Attached

19

hereto as Exhibit 9 is a true and correct copy of the notice of suspension entered in this trademark

20

application.

21

21.

Mr. Richards subsequently

On October 29, 2002, Samick sent a cease and desist letter to Defendant

22

demanding that they cease and desist from all further use of the SOHMER trademarks, and it

23

withdraw the improper trademark application before the United States Patent and Trademark

24

Office.

25

22.

On October 19, 2004, Defendant filed a notice of opposition against Samick’s U.S.

26

Trademark Application Serial No. 76/214,968, which initiated Opposition Proceeding No.

27

91162715 before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. This opposition proceeding is still

pending, and consequently is preventing the federal re-registration of Samick’s U.S. Trademark 6

The United States Patent and Trademark Office has suspended examination of

5

U.S. Trademark Application Serial No. 76/546,304 pending the outcome of Defendant’s U.S.

6

Trademark Application Serial No. 76/210,248, which in turn is suspended pending the outcome

7

of Samick’s U.S. Trademark Application No. 76/214,968, the subject of Trademark Opposition

8

No. 91162715 initiated by Defendant before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. Since this

opposition proceeding is still pending, Defendant is preventing the federal re-registration of

FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION

12

FEDERAL TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT

13 14 15 16 17

24.

Samick repeats and alleges each and every allegation contained in paragraphs 1

through 23 of this Complaint, and incorporates them herein as though set forth in full. 25.

This claim is against Defendant for trademark infringement in violation of Section

43(a) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a). 26.

Samick is informed and based thereon alleges that Defendant has used, is using,

18

and intends to continue using now and in the future in commerce the term SOHMER as a

19

trademark for sales of pianos in such as way as will likely cause confusion or mistake, or will

20

likely deceive the public in relation to their products being associated or identified or being the

21

same as those of Samick.

22

27.

Samick never consented to or authorized Defendant’s adoption or commercial use

23

of the SOHMER trademarks for sales of the aforementioned products. Defendant therefore has

24

infringed and is infringing the SOHMER trademarks in violation of Section 43(a) of the Lanham

25

Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a).

26

28.

The Ninth Circuit considers the following non-exclusive factors to determine

27

whether there is a likelihood of confusion: similarity of the marks; similarity of the products or

28

services; similarity of the marketing channels used; and likelihood of expansion in product lines; 7

strength of plaintiff’s mark; defendant's intent in selecting its mark; likely degree of care of

purchasers; and evidence of actual confusion. 29.

3

CISLO & THOMAS LLP ∃ΩΩΡΥΘΗ∴ς ∆Ω /∆Ζ ∃ΩΩΡΥΘΗ∴ς ∆Ω /∆Ζ

Document 1

The SOHMER trademarks are very strong after years of successful marketing,

4

significant sales volume, critical acclaim, and widespread public recognition. Defendant likewise

5

sells pianos under the SOHMER trademarks and shares such similar marketing channels as to

6

cause a likelihood of confusion. These factors indicate that Defendant adopted the SOHMER

7

trademark intending to ride on the goodwill and reputation of Samick and its predecessors-in-

8

interest.

9

30.

Samick is informed and based thereon alleges that, at all times relevant to this

10

action, including when Defendant first adopted the SOHMER trademarks and commenced their

11

commercial use of the mark on pianos, Defendant knew of the prior adoption and widespread

12

commercial use of the SOHMER trademarks on pianos that Samick presently owns and knew of

13

the valuable goodwill and reputation acquired by Samick in connection with the SOHMER

14

trademarks and products. Defendant’s infringement of the SOHMER trademarks is therefore

15

willful and deliberate.

16

31.

Samick has no control over the composition and quality of the infringing pianos

17

sold by Defendant. Samick is informed and believes and on that basis alleges that Defendant’s

18

use of the SOHMER trademarks has caused confusion and mistake and the deception of

19

purchasers as to the source of origin of Defendant’s infringing products.

20

confusion as to the source engendered by Defendant’s unauthorized use of the SOHMER

21

trademarks, Samick’s valuable goodwill developed at great expense and effort by Samick is being

22

harmed and at risk of further damage.

23

32.

Because of the

The goodwill of Samick’s business under the SOHMER trademarks is of

24

enormous value, and Samick will suffer irreparable harm should Defendant’s infringement be

25

allowed to continue to the great detriment of its reputation and goodwill.

26

infringement will continue unless enjoined.

Samick repeats and alleges each and every allegation contained in paragraphs 1

through 32 of this Complaint, and incorporates them herein as though set forth in full.

5

34.

This claim is against Defendant for common law trademark infringement.

6

35.

In addition to the federal registrations owned by Samick as set forth above, Samick

7

owns and uses the SOHMER trademarks and enjoys common law rights in California and

8

throughout the United States in and to the SOHMER trademarks on the goods set forth above, and

9

thus these rights are senior and superior to any rights which Defendant may claim in and to its

10 11

infringing products. 36.

Defendant’s use of its SOHMER trademark is intentionally designed to mimic

12

Samick’s products so as to likely cause and has caused confusion regarding the source of

13

Defendant’s products, in that purchasers thereof will be likely to associate or have associated such

14

products with, as originating with, or as approved by Samick, all to the detriment of Samick.

Defendant’s infringement will continue unless enjoined.

18 19 20

38.

Samick repeats and alleges each and every allegation contained in paragraphs 1

through 37 of this Complaint, and incorporates them herein as though set forth in full. 39.

As a result of the duration and extent of use of the SOHMER trademarks, the

21

duration and extent of the advertising and publicity of the SOHMER trademarks, the geographical

22

extent of the distribution of the same, the superior quality of Samick’s products and services, and

23

the degree of recognition of the SOHMER trademarks, the SOHMER mark has achieved an

24

extensive degree of distinctiveness and is a famous trademark.

25 26 27 28

40.

As a result of Defendant’s use and registration of the SOHMER mark, Defendant

is diluting the distinctive quality of SOHMER trademarks. 41.

Samick will suffer irreparable harm should Defendant’s illegal acts be allowed to

continue to the great detriment of its reputation and goodwill. Defendant’s acts will continue 9

Document 1

The SOHMER trademark has become uniquely associated with, and hence

8

identifies, Samick and its predecessors-in-interest. Defendant’s use of the SOHMER trademark

9

constitutes a false designation of origin, or a false representation. Further, it wrongfully and

10

falsely designates Defendant’s products as originating from or connected with Samick and

11

constitutes utilizing false descriptions or representations in interstate commerce.

12

44.

The conduct of Defendant is likely to cause mistake, to deceive, and confuse

13

members of the public who would be wrongfully led to believe that Defendant is associated with

14

Samick, thereby depriving Samick of its valid trademark rights.

15

45.

Samick is informed and believes that Defendant, in adopting the SOHMER

16

trademarks, has acted willfully and with full knowledge of Samick’s rights in the SOHMER

17

trademarks, and has used this false designation of origin and description in contravention of

18

15 U.S.C. § 1125(a).

19

46.

The continued unauthorized use by Defendant of the confusingly similar

20

trademark in relation to the manufacture and sale of the pianos at issue is likely to cause

21

confusion and deception of the public and lead consumers and potential consumer to erroneously

22

associate the products of Defendant with Samick and/or to erroneously believe that the products

23

of Defendant are being placed upon the market with the consent and authority of Samick, as a

24

result of which the continue use by Defendant of the SOHMER trademarks has caused and,

25

unless restrained, will continue to cause serious and irreparable injury to Samick.

Samick repeats and alleges each and every allegation contained in paragraphs 1

through 47 of this Complaint, and incorporates them herein as though set forth in full. 49.

This claim is against Defendant for unfair competition in violation of California

Business & Professions Code, §§ 17200, 17203. 50.

The SOHMER trademarks are wholly associated with Samick and its

8

predecessors-in-interest due to their extensive marketing efforts, sales successes, and pervasive

9

use thereof, and as such, Samick has developed valuable assets in the SOHMER trademarks and

10

its pianos sold under the SOHMER trademarks. It is only fair and legitimate that Samick be able

11

to continue its business without unfair, improper, unauthorized, and illegal interference by

12

Defendant as alleged herein.

13

51.

Defendant’s intentional misuse of the SOHMER trademarks on pianos appears

14

purposefully directed at undercutting Samick’s legitimate business involving their pianos and

15

constitutes unfair competition in violation of the California Business and Professions Code,

16

§§ 17200 and 17203.

17

52.

Samick alleges that the aforesaid acts of unfair competition undertaken by

18

Defendant was intentionally and knowingly performed and directed toward perpetuating a

19

business competing unfairly with Samick and were done with a willful disregard for the rights of

20

Samick.

21

53.

By reason of Defendant’s acts of unfair competition, Samick has suffered and will

22

continue to suffer irreparable injury unless and until this Court enters an order enjoining

23

Defendant from any further acts of unfair competition. Defendant continuing acts of unfair

24

competition, unless enjoined, will cause irreparable damage to Samick in that it will have no

25

adequate remedy at law to compel Defendant to cease such acts, and no way to determine its

26

losses proximately caused by such acts of Defendant. Samick will also be compelled to prosecute

27

a multiplicity of actions, one action each time Defendant commits such acts, and in each such

28

action it will still be extremely difficult to ascertain the amount of compensation which will 11

Case 3:09-cv-00197-LRH-VPC

Page 12 of 15

afford Samick adequate relief. Samick is therefore entitled to a preliminary injunction and a

2

permanent injunction against further infringing conduct by Defendant. 54.

As a direct and proximate result of the aforesaid acts of unfair competition,

4

Defendant has wrongfully taken Samick’s profits and the benefit of their creativity and

5

investment of time, energy and money. Defendant should therefore disgorge all profits from the

6

sale of infringing products and further should be ordered to perform full restitution to Samick as a

7

consequence of Defendant’s infringing activities.

H u go So h m e r 18 4 5 – 19 13 Founder of Sohmer & Co. Pianos

Hugo Sohmer founded Sohmer & Co. in 1872 after emigrating from Germany. The company made some of the finest pianos in America and was part of New York's booming piano manufacturing scene of the late 19th century. Its main factory on the bank of the East River in Astoria, Queens still stands today. Sohmer was a musician himself and had a musician's keen appraisal of a piano's tonal qualities. After a few short years of production, Hugo Sohmer was granted a patent for a very unique achievement at the time: being the first to produce a 5t baby grand piano. Sohmer's pianos received both popular and critical acclaim in that vibrant era of history, being featured in the finest homes in New York and across the country. Some of the more notable owners include Fred Astaire, Irving Berlin, William Randolph Hearst, Katharine Hepburn, and Eartha Kitt. Sohmer showcased its finest creations in a grand showroom called the House of Sohmer at 31 West 57th Street in the heart of Manhattan's antiques district. And it was no coincidence that Carnegie Hall was right around the corner. At his death in 1931, Hugo Sohmer passed on his love for the piano to his sons. Sohmer & Co. enjoyed family ownership for over one hundred years until the company was sold in 1982. Today, Samick Music Corp. carries on the tradition of making one of the finest pianos available to the American consumer. If you have any inquires, please feel free to contact us anytime.
