IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
CIVIL ACTION
Costco (Represented by dygyee)
Plaintiff
v.
.CostcoRep2439
Defendant
COMPLAINT
The Plaintiff complains against the Defendant as follows:
WRITTEN STATEMENT FROM THE PLAINTIFF:
Recently the defendant, .CostcoRep2439, has created an unofficial company called "Costco Wholesale." While the defendant acknowledges that Costco already exists, he claims that Costco Wholesale is a different name and is therefore allowed. According to the Intellectual Property Act, a breach of trademark occurs when someone "Engages in one or more of the following actions: Producing, replicating or impersonating recognizable signs, designs, or expressions that identify a company, product, or service." By naming his company Costco Wholesale, the defendant has violated the Intellectual property act. The defendant has also advertised his business as Costco, not Costco Wholesale on multiple occasions.
I. PARTIES
1. Costco (Owned by Xerxesmc)
2. dygyee (CLO of Costco)
3. .CostcoRep2439 (Defendant)
II. FACTS
1. In early may, 2024, the defendant, .CostcoRep2439, started advertising his store which he named Costco Wholesale.
2. To the knowledge of the Plaintiff, the Defendant has not officially registered his company, which means he has no DOC approval.
3. Multiple players have asked clarifying questions asking if this is the same as the real, OG Costco, which shows that whether the defendant intended to or not, he has impersonated the real Costco with the name of his store.
III. CLAIMS FOR RELIEF
1. Breach of trademark as defined by the Intellectual property act.
2. Under laws 11.0 it states "Your company’s name can’t be similar to another one."
IV. PRAYER FOR RELIEF
The Plaintiff seeks the following from the Defendant:
1. $1,000 in Punitive damages
2. $500 in legal fees
3. An injunction requiring the defendant to both change the name of his company, and stop advertising any company with the same or similar name to Costco.
EVIDENCE
Exhibit A: Proof of defendant acknowledging the existence of Costco, as well as as proof of Defendant's ownership of his store "Costco Wholesale"
Exhibit B: Proof of Defendant advertising/calling his store Costco
Exhibit C: Costco's business registration
LIST OF WITNESSES (To be finalized later):
1. Tan_Head
2. Sumo_MC
3. Neemfy
4. lcn
5. Xerxesmc
By making this submission, I agree I understand the penalties of lying in court and the fact that I am subject to perjury should I knowingly make a false statement in court.
