1

Plaintiff Apple Inc. (“Apple”) brings this action to enjoin Amazon.com, Inc.

2

and Amazon Digital Services, Inc.’s (collectively “Amazon”) unauthorized use of Apple’s

3

APP STORE ™ trademark. Apple seeks permanent injunctive relief and damages under

4

the laws of the United States and the State of California and alleges on knowledge as to

5

itself and its own acts, and on information and belief as to all other matters, as follows:
NATURE OF ACTION

6
7

1.

Apple is a market leading computer hardware, software, and mobile

8

computing technology and services company. Its APP STORE mobile software download

9

service has transformed the way that mobile device users customize and expand the

10

functionality of their devices. Apple, long renowned for its innovation and product

11

design, introduced the APP STORE service and coined the APP STORE mark three years

12

ago. In that short period of time, the service has experienced phenomenal growth and

13

success, and the service is now available on over 250 million devices worldwide and over

14

18 billion software programs have been downloaded by users.

15

2.

Amazon has been improperly using Apple’s APP STORE mark in

16

connection with Amazon’s mobile software developer program, has recently launched a

17

mobile software download service using Apple’s mark, and has announced the release of a

18

tablet device that will utilize certain aspects of the mobile software download service.

19

Amazon’s uses are unauthorized and unlawful.

16

FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS

17

Apple Coins, Uses In Commerce, And Protects APP STORE

18

9.

On July 11, 2008, Apple launched its APP STORE service. Using

19

the APP STORE mobile software application, users of Apple’s iPhone, iPod and, most

20

recently, iPad mobile devices, can browse for and license a wide range of third party

21

software programs, including games, business, educational, finance, news, sports,

22

productivity, social networking, health, reference, travel, and utility software. Users can

23

also browse and license software in the APP STORE section of Apple’s popular iTunes

24

Store, accessed using Apple’s iTunes software.

25

10.

Prior to the introduction of the APP STORE service, operators of

26

mobile communications networks offered a variety of downloadable mobile software such

27

as ringtones, wallpapers, and games. The operators branded their download services with

28

a variety of terms that bore no similarity to APP STORE. For example, Verizon called its
SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT
NO. CV 11-01327 PJH

3

1

mobile software download service the “Get It Now virtual store” and later changed the

2

name of that service to the “Verizon Media Store.”

3

11.

When it launched, the APP STORE service represented a

4

revolutionary kind of online software service and was an instant commercial and critical

5

success. As a columnist for The New York Times remarked soon after the launch of the

6

service, “[n]othing like the App Store has ever been attempted before.” Apple coined the

7

term APP STORE as a means of branding its new service. The term APP STORE was not

8

in general use in connection with the distribution of software programs prior to Apple’s

9

adoption of the term as a trademark.

10

12.

The APP STORE service serves as the distribution center for a

11

variety of software programs developed by third parties or by Apple. For example, if a

12

user of an Apple mobile device wishes to play the popular “Angry Birds” video game, she

13

would touch the “App Store” icon on her mobile device, search for the “Angry Birds”

14

program and obtain a copy of that program on her device by licensing the software

15

through the APP STORE service.

16

13.

In order to distribute software programs through the APP STORE

17

service, third party software developers are required to sign a distribution agreement in

18

which the developer appoints Apple as its worldwide agent for delivery of the software

19

programs. All of the software programs that are available through the APP STORE

20

service are licensed to consumers, not sold.

21

14.

To date, there have been more than 18 billion downloads of programs

22

through the service by more than 250 million devices worldwide. An average of over a

23

million downloads take place every hour worldwide. There are currently more than

24

500,000 software programs available for download on the APP STORE service.

25

15.

Apple has extensively advertised, marketed and promoted the APP

26

STORE service and the APP STORE mark, spending millions of dollars on print,

27

television, and internet advertising. News outlets have also commented extensively and

28

repeatedly on the operations of the APP STORE service in the months and years
SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT
NO. CV 11-01327 PJH

4

1

following its launch. The enormous public attention given the APP STORE service, and

2

the success of the service, have cemented the public’s identification of APP STORE as a

3

trademark for Apple’s service. Moreover, Apple has obtained registrations of the APP

4

STORE mark covering more than fifty foreign jurisdictions, including the European

5

Union, Japan, and China.

6

16.

Apple has applied to register the APP STORE mark in the United

7

States. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office approved Apple’s application to register

8

APP STORE as a trademark. Microsoft has opposed that application’s registration. The

9

matter is currently subject to opposition proceedings before the Trademark Trial And

10
11

Appeal Board.
17.

From Apple’s launch of the APP STORE service in 2008, Apple has

12

prominently featured the APP STORE mark in print advertising in the United States,

13

California, and elsewhere. The mark has been featured in such print advertising

14

sponsored both by Apple as well as AT&T (which offers wireless connectivity for certain

15

Apple mobile devices). These ads have appeared in such magazines and newspapers as

16

Fortune, The New Yorker, The Economist, Newsweek, Time, The New York Times, the

17

Washington Post, as well as numerous other regional and local newspapers.

18

18.

As part of its marketing for the APP STORE service, Apple has

19

implemented a unique television advertising campaign. Most recently, Apple has aired

20

nationwide television commercials that state “If you don’t have an iPhone - you don’t

21

have the App Store.” These commercials highlight the different computer software

22

programs available through the APP STORE service and the variety of functions each

23

computer software program serves. These commercials verbally refer to the APP STORE

24

mark and also depict the APP STORE mark as featured on Apple’s devices. Apple has

25

aired these and other commercials regarding its APP STORE services on all the major

26

television broadcast stations in the United States, including ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, The

27

CW, BET, Comedy Central, CNN, ESPN, MTV, TBS, TNT, and VH1. As a result,

28

millions of consumers in the United States and California have been exposed to Apple’s
SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT
NO. CV 11-01327 PJH

5

1
2

television campaigns.
19.

Not surprisingly given the success of Apple’s APP STORE service,

3

the service and Apple’s APP STORE mark have been the subject of an overwhelming

4

amount of high-profile positive unsolicited media coverage in the United States and

5

California. These articles recognize the APP STORE mark as referring exclusively to

6

Apple’s service.

7

20.

The phenomenal popularity of Apple’s mobile software download

8

service has prompted a number of competitors to offer their own services. In fact,

9

Microsoft, Google, Nokia, Research in Motion (Blackberry), Sprint, Verizon and other

10

major companies now offer software download services for mobile operating systems that

11

compete with Apple’s mobile operating system. These competitors have found ways of

12

branding and describing their own mobile software download services without using the

13

term APP STORE. For example, Microsoft uses the term MARKETPLACE to refer to its

14

service and uses the descriptor “virtual store for apps.”

15

21.

In limited instances, third parties have made improper use of the term

16

APP STORE. In response, Apple has contacted those parties and requested that they

17

cease and desist from further use of the mark. In almost every instance, the entities

18

contacted by Apple agreed to cease use of Apple’s APP STORE mark.

19
20

Amazon Unlawfully Uses APP STORE And Expands That Unlawful Use
22.

In approximately January of 2011, Amazon began soliciting software

21

developers to participate in a future mobile software download service offered by

22

Amazon. On information and belief, Amazon began unlawfully using the APP STORE

23

mark in or about that same month.

24

23.

Amazon has unlawfully used the APP STORE mark to solicit

25

software developers throughout the United States, including in the Northern District of

26

California. Amazon’s unlawful use includes, but on information and belief is not limited

27

to, such use at web pages accessed through the developer.amazon.com URL.

28

24.

Amazon continues to unlawfully use the APP STORE mark in

“Amazon Appstore Developer Program.” The following is a screenshot of Amazon’s

At no time has Amazon received a license or authorization from

Apple to use the APP STORE mark.

18

26.

On or about January 19, February 4, and March 14, 2011, Apple

19

communicated with Amazon and demanded that Amazon cease its use of the APP STORE

20

mark. Amazon did not provide a substantive response to these communications until after

21

Amazon launched its APPSTORE service and until after Apple filed its complaint in this

22

action.

23

27.

Despite Apple’s multiple communications to Amazon informing

24

them of Apple’s rights, Amazon launched its infringing APPSTORE service on Tuesday,

25

March 22, 2011. Amazon’s service purports to make available nearly 4,000 mobile

26

software applications, many of which are the same titles as some of the most popular

27

applications available on Apple’s APP STORE service. Amazon provides its service both

28

through its Amazon.com website and through a mobile software application entitled

“Appstore” that is available for download from Amazon or is pre-installed on certain

On March 25, 2011, Amazon communicated through its counsel that

it intended to continue use of the infringing mark.
29.

Beginning in or about September 2011 Amazon began altering its use

24

of the infringing mark by omitting or de-emphasizing the use of the “for Android” suffix

25

to the “Amazon Appstore” phrase. For example, when Amazon announced in late

26

September 2011 that it would introduce a new hardware product named the Kindle Fire

27

(the “Fire”), Amazon promoted the Fire’s ability to use Amazon’s mobile software

28

download service but omitted the “for Android” phrase when using the APPSTORE mark.

Amazon further advertises its APPSTORE mobile download service

Amazon’s ongoing unlawful use of the APP STORE mark has

irreparably harmed Apple, and Amazon’s threatened expansion and/or alteration of that

unlawful use will increase the irreparable harm to Apple.

FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION

(Trademark Infringement; False Designation Of Origin/Description – Lanham Act §

10
11
12

33.

Apple repeats and realleges each and every allegation of paragraphs 1

through 32 above, and incorporates them by reference as if fully set forth herein.
34.

Apple has used its APP STORE trademark since 2008 to identify its

13

services in California, in the United States, and worldwide. The general consuming public

14

of the United States widely recognizes the APP STORE mark as designating Apple as the

15

source of services and/or goods.

16

35.

Amazon’s use of Apple’s APP STORE mark constitutes a false

17

designation of origin and/or a false or misleading description or representation of fact that

18

is likely to cause confusion, to cause mistake, or to deceive as to (a) the affiliation,

19

connection, or association of Amazon with Apple and/or (b) the origin, sponsorship, or

20

approval of Amazon’s goods, services, or commercial activities by Apple. For example,

21

consumers of mobile software downloads are likely to be confused as to whether

22

Amazon’s mobile software download service is sponsored or approved by Apple or is

23

merely a conduit for Apple’s APP STORE service.

24

36.

Amazon’s wrongful activities have caused Apple irreparable injury.

25

Apple is informed and believes that unless said conduct is enjoined by this Court, Amazon

26

will continue and expand those activities to the continued and irreparable injury of Apple.

27

This injury includes a reduction in the distinctiveness of Apple’s APP STORE mark and

28

injury to Apple’s reputation that cannot be remedied through damages, and Apple has no

adequate remedy at law. Apple is entitled to a permanent injunction pursuant to 15 U.S.C.

2

§ 1116 restraining and enjoining Amazon and its agents, servants, employees, and all

3

persons acting thereunder, in concert with, or on their behalf, from using in commerce the

4

APP STORE mark or any colorable imitation thereof.

5

37.

Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1117, Apple is also entitled to recover (i)

6

Amazon’s profits, (ii) Apple’s ascertainable damages, and (iii) Apple’s costs of suit.

7

Amazon’s willful use of Apple’s APP STORE mark without excuse or justification

8

renders this an exceptional case and entitles Apple to its reasonable attorney fees.

15

38.

Apple repeats and realleges each and every allegation of paragraphs 1

through 32 above, and incorporates them by reference as if fully set forth herein.
39.

The APP STORE mark is famous and distinctive, and that mark

became famous prior to Amazon’s commencement of use of the mark.
40.

Amazon’s use of the APP STORE mark for its developer program

16

and/or its mobile software download service are likely to cause dilution by blurring or

17

dilution by tarnishment of the APP STORE mark. For example, Amazon’s use of the

18

APP STORE mark is likely to reduce the distinctiveness of that mark by reducing the

19

general consuming public’s association of the mark with Apple’s services.

20

41.

Amazon’s wrongful activities have caused Apple irreparable injury.

21

Apple is informed and believes that unless said conduct is enjoined by this Court, Amazon

22

will continue and expand those activities to the continued and irreparable injury of Apple.

23

This injury includes a reduction in the distinctiveness of Apple’s APP STORE mark that

24

cannot be remedied through damages, and Apple has no adequate remedy at law. Apple is

25

entitled to a permanent injunction pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1116 restraining and enjoining

26

Amazon and its agents, servants, employees, and all persons acting thereunder, in concert

42.

Amazon first used the APP STORE mark after October 6, 2006 and

Amazon willfully intended to trade on the recognition of the APP STORE mark and/or

3

intended to harm the reputation of the APP STORE mark. Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. §§ 1117

4

and 1125(c)(5) Apple is also entitled to recover (i) Amazon’s profits, (ii) Apple’s

5

ascertainable damages, and (iii) Apple’s costs of suit. Amazon’s willful use of Apple’s

The general consuming public of California widely recognizes the

APP STORE mark as designating Apple as the source of services and/or goods. Apple

14

Amazon’s wrongful activities in the State of California have caused

16

Apple irreparable injury. Apple is informed and believes that unless said conduct is

enjoined by this Court, Amazon will continue and expand those activities to the continued

Amazon’s use of the APP STORE mark in California (i) has diluted,

Amazon uses APPSTORE in connection with, and in commercial

constitutes a false advertisement that misrepresents the nature, characteristics and qualities
of Amazon's mobile download service and/or deceives or has a tendency to deceive a

13

1

substantial segment of consumers into believing that Amazon's service has the nature,

characteristics, and/or qualities of Apple's APP STORE service. This deception is likely

3

to influence consumers' purchasing decisions about Amazon's service and products,

4

thereby diverting revenues from Apple to Amazon. Amazon's use is also likely to lessen

5

the goodwill associated with Apple's APP STORE service and Apple products designed to

6

utilize Apple's APP STORE service by associating Apple's APP STORE service with the

7

inferior qualities of Amazon's service.

Amazon’s wrongful activities have caused Apple irreparable injury.

Apple is informed and believes that unless said conduct is enjoined by this Court, Amazon

will continue and expand those activities to the continued and irreparable injury of Apple.

11

This injury includes a lessening of the goodwill associated with Apple’s APP STORE

24
through 53 above, and incorporates them by reference as if fully set forth herein.
25
55.

SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT
NO. CV 11-01327 PJH

14

1

56.

Amazon acts are unlawful and/or unfair under the UCL because

2

Amazon’s use of the APP STORE mark in California is likely to confuse consumers as to

3

the source, origin, or affiliation of Amazon’s services, to dilute the distinctiveness of

4

Apple’s APP STORE mark, to tarnish the image of Apple’s APP STORE mark, to

5

misrepresent the nature, characteristics and qualities of Amazon’s mobile download

6

service and/or to deceive or have a tendency to deceive a substantial segment of

7

consumers into believing that Amazon’s service has the nature, characteristics, and/or

8

qualities of Apple’s APP STORE service.

9

57.

Amazon’s acts of unfair competition in the State of California have

10

caused Apple irreparable injury. Apple is informed and believes that unless said conduct

11

is enjoined by this Court, Amazon will continue and expand those activities to the

12

continued and irreparable injury of Apple. This injury includes a reduction in the

13

distinctiveness of Apple’s APP STORE mark and injury to Apple’s reputation that cannot

14

be remedied through damages, and Apple has no adequate remedy at law. Apple is

15

entitled to a permanent injunction restraining and enjoining Amazon and its agents,

16

servants, employees, and all persons acting thereunder, in concert with, or on their behalf,

17

from using in commerce the APP STORE trademark or any colorable imitation thereof.

18
19

58.

As a direct and proximate result of Amazon’s statutory unfair

competition, Amazon has been unjustly enriched in an amount to be determined at trial.
