UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF KENTUCKY
LEXINGTON DIVISION
MAGIC HAT IP,LLC, ANDINDEPENDENT BREWERS UNITED CORPORATION,
Plaintiff,
vs. Civ. _________________
WEST SIXTH BREWING COMPANY, LLC,
JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
Defendant.
VERIFIEDCOMPLAINT
Plaintiffs Magic Hat IP, LLC and Independent Brewers United Corporation (collectively
Magic Hat) state as follows for their Verified Complaint against Defendant West Sixth
Brewing Company, LLC:
INTRODUCTION
1. Magic Hat (through its licensee and predecessors) has used the trademarks #9 and
#9 and Design (collectively the #9 Marks) for beer and ale since at least as early as 1995 and
2007, respectively. Due to the importance of these marks, Magic Hat obtained a United States
Trademark Registration, No. 2024581, for its #9 mark on December 18, 1996, for beer and ale
in Class 32. Because Magic Hat filed the appropriate 8 and 15 Affidavits, its rights in this
mark are incontestable. In addition, Magic Hat also used and applied to register its #9 and
design mark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Without fail,
Magic Hat has taken all reasonable precautions to protect its valuable intellectual property rights
in the #9 Marks.

Magic Hats rights, for which it is liable to Magic Hat.
4. Accordingly, Magic Hat seeks damages and injunctive relief under state and
federal law to remedy the substantial infringement by West Sixth.
PARTIES
5. Magic Hat IP, LLC is a Vermont limited liability company with its principal place

FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES UNDERLYING THE CLAIMS
A. Magic Hats Intellectual Property Rights.
14. Plaintiff Magic Hat is one of the largest and most well-recognized craft brewers in
the United States. Magic Hat (through itself, its licensee, and its predecessors Independent
Brewers United Corporation and Magic Hat Brewing Company & Performing Arts Center, Inc.)
has sold its products, including its flagship #9 beer, in convenience stores, grocery stores,
restaurants, bars, package stores, and liquor stores throughout the United States since 1995.
Magic Hats products have garnered widespread consumer recognition and approval.
15. Magic Hat has sold its beer and ale in Kentucky, including product branded with
its #9 Marks, since at least as early as 2009.

16. Early on, Magic Hat invested heavily in its image and marketing, and developed
unique and distinctive marks, logos, and trade dress for its products.
17. Initially, Magic Hat developed, used, and registered its #9 trademark for beer
and ale (the #9 Mark), which is the subject of United States Trademark Registration
2,024,581. Magic Hat filed its application to register the #9 Mark on April 14, 1995 and the
registration issued on December 17, 1996 (the #9 Registration). Magic Hats rights in the #9
Mark are incontestable. Attached as Exhibit A is a copy of the #9 Registration.
18. Also, Magic Hat developed a creative and original design for use with its #9
product. On June 24, 2010, Magic Hat applied to register the following work with the United
States Copyright Office and was issued Copyright Registration VA 1-724-477 (the #9
Copyright Registration):
(the #9 Work). A copy of the #9 Copyright Registration is attached as Exhibit B.
19. In addition, Magic Hat applied to register the following #9 and design trademark
with the USPTO on March 22, 2013 (Application Serial No. 85883897) (the #9 Design
Application):

(the #9 Design Mark). A copy of the USPTO record for #9 Design Application is attached as
Exhibit C.
20. Magic Hat markets its handcrafted, premium beer and ale under the #9 Marks
throughout the United States. Magic Hat uses the #9 Marks in advertising and promotional
materials and on bottles, cans, six-packs, twelve-packs, kegs, tap handles, and point-of-sale
displays. Its marketing also includes the sponsoring of sporting and entertainment events using
the #9 Marks, including events in Kentucky.
21. Through Magic Hats advertising, marketing, and sales efforts, the distinctive #9
Marks have become well known to consumers as an indication that beer and ale sold under such
marks emanate exclusively from Magic Hat.
22. Magic Hats non-functional trade dress, which includes the #9 Marks, is
inherently distinctive and/or has acquired secondary meaning in the trade and among the relevant
consuming public as a symbol identifying Magic Hat as the source of its products.
23. The trade dress for Magic Hats #9 branded products is characterized by its
distinctive orange color, which is the predominant color on its labels, the presence of the
dingbat star, and the circular motif that appear in the #9 Design Mark (the Magic Hat Trade
Dress).

B. Defendant West Sixths infringing intellectual property.
24. Upon information and belief, Defendant West Sixth sells beer, ale, and brewpub
services under the trademarks 6 and Design:
(6 and Design Mark) and WEST SIXTH BREWING 6 and design:
(the WEST SIXTH BREWING 6 and design mark) (collectively, the 6 Marks).
25. On September 27, 2012, Defendant West Sixth filed an application with the
USPTO to register the WEST SIXTH BREWING 6 and design mark (Application Serial No.
85739821) (6 and Design Application). A copy of the USPTO record for the 6 and Design
Application is attached as Exhibit D.
26. Upon information and belief, Defendant West Sixth has sold beer, ale, and
brewpub services under the 6 Marks in certain markets, including portions of Kentucky and
Ohio, since April 1, 2012.

27. On information and belief, Defendant West Sixth recently expanded its use of the
6 Marks for beer and ale into South Carolina and intends to begin selling its beer and ale using
the 6 Marks in other new markets in other states in the near future.
28. In addition, Defendant West Sixth recently introduced its Amber Ale product,
which is offered under the 6 Marks in orange:
29. Orange is the primary color used in Magic Hats trade dress and copyrighted
work. Therefore, West Sixths recent use of its 6 Marks in orange makes its trademarks, designs,
and trade dress even more closely resemble that of Magic Hat. Further, West Sixth has used a
dingbat star to further suggest the trade dress of Magic Hats products in an effort to confuse
consumers and trade on Magic Hats good will.
30. Defendant West Sixth uses the 6 Marks on cans, kegs, glasses, flight trays,
coasters, tap handles, signs, advertising and promotional materials, and point-of-sale materials.
31. Defendant West Sixth competes directly with Magic Hat for sales of beer and ale
in the markets in which West Sixth is presently active and intends to become active.

32. In fact, the parties both use many of the same distributors for their products.
33. Defendant West Sixths 6 Marks and trade dress are confusingly and substantially
similar to Magic Hats #9 Marks and trade dress.
34. By its actions, Defendant West Sixth has infringed Magic Hats rights under
trademark and trade dress law. For such infringement, Magic Hat seeks various remedies,
including injunctive relief and damages.
FIRST CLAIM
TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT UNDER THE
LANHAM ACT (15U.S.C.1114)
35. Magic Hat repeats and realleges each of the allegations at paragraphs 1 through
34 above as though fully restated herein.
36. Magic Hat owns United States Trademark Registration No. 2024581 for the #9
Mark for use in connection with beer and ale.
37. Magic Hats registration is valid and subsisting and its rights in the #9 Mark are
now incontestable.
38. Magic Hat owns United States Trademark Application Serial No. 85883897 for
the #9 Design Mark for beer and ale.
39. Defendant West Sixths use of its confusingly similar marks in interstate
commerce for its beer, ale, and brewpub services, without Magic Hats consent, constitutes the
unlawful trademark infringement by West Sixth of Magic Hats #9 Marks.
40. Defendant West Sixths use of its confusingly similar marks in interstate
commerce, without the consent of plaintiff Magic Hat, in connection with beer, ale, and brewpub

services, has caused, continues to cause, and is likely to cause confusion, mistake, and deception
in the minds of the consuming public.
41. Defendant West Sixths use of its confusingly similar marks has deceived and is
likely to continue to deceive consumers as to the source or origin of its products, and constitutes
infringement of Magic Hats #9 Marks.
42. By reason of the foregoing, Magic Hat has been injured by Defendant West
Sixths trademark infringement in violation of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. 1114.
43. Upon information and belief, Defendant West Sixth has acted with full knowledge
of Magic Hats rights and in willful violation of 15 U.S.C. 1114.
44. Defendant West Sixths use of its confusingly similar marks is causing and will
continue to cause Magic Hat irreparable harm, for which it has no adequate remedy at law, and,
thus, Magic Hat is entitled to injunctive relief.
45. In addition to irreparable harm suffered by reason of West Sixths acts, Magic Hat
has suffered, and will continue to suffer, damages in an amount to be proven at trial, including
costs and attorneys fees.
SECOND CLAIM

Design Mark for beer and ale since at least as early as 2007 in the United States and since at least
as early as 2009 in Kentucky.

102292145_1
48. Based upon its substantial, exclusive, and continuous use of these marks for beer
and ale, Magic Hat has developed significant trademark rights in such marks.
49. In 2012, or in any case, long after Magic Hat began use of its #9 Mark and #9
Design Mark for beer and ale, West Sixth began using its confusingly similar 6 Marks for beer,
ale, and brewpub services.
50. Defendant West Sixths use of its 6 Marks for beer, ale, and brewpub services is
likely to cause confusion or mistake, or to deceive as to its affiliation, connection, or association
with Magic Hat or as to the origin, sponsorship, or approval of West Sixths goods and services.
51. Based upon the foregoing, West Sixths use of the 6 Marks for beer, ale, and
brewpub services constitutes trademark infringement under 15 U.S.C. 1125.
52. By reason of West Sixths acts, Magic Hat has suffered and will continue to suffer
irreparable harm for which it has no adequate remedy at law, and, thus, Magic Hat is entitled to

Hat has suffered and will continue to suffer damages in an amount to be proven at trial, including
costs and attorneys fees.

112292145_1
56. Defendant West Sixth is unfairly competing with Magic Hat by adopting an
infringing trade dress to identify its goods and services.
57. The intent and result of Defendant West Sixths actions has been a palming off of
West Sixths goods and services as emanating from or being endorsed by Magic Hat, causing
confusion, mistake, and deception among the public as to the source and origin of those goods
and services.
58. The foregoing acts of West Sixth are intended to cause, have caused, and are
likely to cause confusion, mistake, deception among consumers, the public, and the trade who
recognize and associate the Magic Hat trade dress elements with Magic Hat.
59. Moreover, West Sixths conduct is likely to cause confusion, to cause mistake, or
to deceive consumers, the public, and the trade as to the source of the infringing products, or as
to a possible affiliation, connection, or association between Magic Hat, West Sixth, and the
infringing products.
60. Defendant West Sixths use of an infringing trade dress has caused and, unless
restrained, will continue to cause injury to Magic Hat.
61. Defendant West Sixth actions constitute false designations of origin, false and
misleading descriptions, and false and misleading representations that are likely to cause
confusion, mistake, and deception. By using a confusingly similar trade dress, Defendant West
Sixth has misrepresented the nature, origin, characteristics, and quality of its products, in
violation of the Lanham Act (15 U.S.C. 1125(a)).
62. By reason of West Sixths actions, Magic Hat has suffered and will continue to
suffer irreparable harm for which it has no adequate remedy at law, and, thus, Magic Hat is
entitled to injunctive relief.

it to labels, signs, prints and other writings intended to be used in conjunction with the sale or

confusion between its products and Magic Hats products in violation of Kentucky Revised
