ALLEGATIONS OF FACT

6. In-N-Out has been engaged in the business of restaurant services and otherbusinesses since 1948, and currently has 260 restaurant locations in five states.

7. In-N-Out owns numerous federally registered trademarks and service markscomprising the words IN-N-OUT (U.S. Reg. Nos. 1,085,163; 1,522,799; 1,525,982; 1,101,638;

and 1,101,628) and/or IN-N-OUT BURGER (U.S. Reg. Nos. 1,031,095; 1,031,096; 1,023,506;

1,528,455; 1,539,451; 1,528,456; 1,516,560; 2,026,720). In-N-Out also owns numerous federal

registered trademarks and service marks comprising a yellow arrow. (U.S. Reg. Nos. 1,031,096;



3/191

3

1,023,506; 1,646,401; 1,539,451; 1,528,455; 1,528,456; 1,516,560; 1,514,689; 1,522,799;

1,525,982; 1,960,015; 1,877,603; 2,026,720; 2,106,744; and 3,367,471) The foregoing

registrations are valid and subsisting and are in full force and effect. Pursuant to 15 U.S.C.

1065, all but the most recent registration, namely U.S. Reg. No. 3,367,471, have become

incontestable. Information from the United States Patent and Trademark Office regarding the

registrations cited in this paragraph is attached as Exhibit A hereto.

8. Since long prior to the acts of Defendants herein alleged, In-N-Out hascontinuously used color schemes that are primarily white with red accent trim and red and

yellow featured in the signage and trim. In-N-Out owns numerous federal registrations which

incorporate its red and yellow color scheme. (U.S. Reg. 1,528,455; 1,516,560; and 1,525,982).

Collectively, the marks described in paragraphs 7 and 8 shall be referred to herein as the IN-N-

OUT Marks. Information from the United States Patent and Trademark Office regarding the

registrations cited in this paragraph is attached as Exhibit B hereto.

9. Since long prior to the acts of Defendant herein alleged, In-N-Out hascontinuously used trade dress consisting of a combination of features, including a red-and-white

color scheme with other minor accent colors such as yellow; employee uniforms that are white

with red aprons and hats; interior flooring featuring a checkerboard pattern with white and gray

tile; an open interior layout so that customers can observe the food preparationincluding the

slicing of fresh (never frozen) potatoes to make fries; a seating area including booths with white

tables and red-backed seats. In addition, the interior menu is typically displayed above the cash

register on a rectangular-shaped predominantly white menu board with a red frame and red

lettering. The menu board features only a few items, no size options, and a simple font and

presentation. A similar predominantly white with red menu board is found outside near the



4/191

4

drive-through lanes. The outside of the building typically incorporates the red-and-white color

scheme with other minor accent colors such as yellow. In addition, the food presentation is in

rectangular cardboard boxes, with the hamburger partially wrapped with the unwrapped side face

up and accompanied by French fries in a second, generally rectangular white boat-like structure

(served with a white paper napkin covering the fries). This scheme and overall image and the

like is of such an unusual design that a customer would immediately rely on it to differentiate the

source of the services; in addition, the scheme and overall image and the like have been used in

interstate and intrastate commerce and in connection with the advertising, promotion, offering,

and provision of its products and services consistently and continuously by In-N-Out.

10. In-N-Out also has a secret menu or unpublished menu, and in connectiontherewith has, for many years, offered various off-menu items or preparation styles sold under

the trademarks Protein Style burger, Animal Style burger, 3 x 3 burger, and 4 x 4 burger.

The Animal Style burger is comprised of a burger with the standard toppings and, additionally,

grilled onions, pickles, and extra sauce. Information from the United States Patent and

Trademark Office regarding the registrations for the Animal Style burger is attached as Exhibit

C hereto.

11. In-N-Out has offered its products under its unique IN-N-OUT Marks and tradedress, and the In-N-OUT Marks and trade dress have continuously appeared at In-N-Outs

locations and in its advertising and promotional activities. In-N-Out has extensively used and

promoted the IN-N-OUT Marks and trade dress such that they are closely identified with the

goods and services of In-N-Out.

12. The IN-N-OUT Marks and trade dress have received widespread publicrecognition and unsolicited media coverage throughout the United States. The IN-N-OUT



5/191


6/191

Out won the Zagats survey award for the nations best fast food burger, followed by Wendys,

Burger King and McDonalds, and in 2010 In-N-Out came in second in the same category. The

Zagat 2010 survey also recognized In-N-Out in the top five large fast food chains, which also

included Panera Bread, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc., Five Guys Burgers and Fries, and Chick-

fil-A, Inc. In-N-Out was featured on www.delish.com as one of the twenty-five best burgers

around the country. In-N-Out was also recognized as the No. 1 best fast-food chain by The Top

13, a website nationally known for its rankings of the best in pop culture.

17. Also in 2010, In-N-Out was tied with Five Guys Burgers and Fries as the best fastfood burger in a national Consumer Reports survey of more than 28,000 individuals. The

Consumer Reports survey was reported in national news media such as CNNMoney.com. In-N-

Out was also recently recognized by Food & Wine Magazine as having one of the 25 best

burgers in the nation, and nationally recognized celebrity chefs such as Gordon Ramsey, Thomas

Keller, Anthony Bourdain, Mario Batali, and Julia Child have publicly stated their affection for

In-N-Out. In-N-Out has also been featured repeatedly in Nations Restaurant News magazine.

18. The IN-N-OUT Marks are valid and subsisting and are evidence of In-N-Outsexclusive right to use said trademarks in commerce throughout the United States for restaurant

products and other goods and services related thereto.

19. As a result of the care and skill exercised by In-N-Out in the conduct of itsbusiness, the high quality of In-N-Outs products offered under its trade dress and IN-N-OUT

Marks, the unique nature of the trade dress and the extensive advertising, sale and promotion of

In-N-Outs products including the same, the trade dress and IN-N-OUT Marks are either

inherently distinctive or have acquired strong secondary meaning. The trade dress and IN-N-

OUT Marks identify In-N-Outs popular products as those of In-N-Out exclusively, and



7/191

7

distinguish them from the products of others. The distinctive trade dress and IN-N-OUT Marks

are well known and symbolize the goodwill that In-N-Out has created by its offering of its

products.

20. In-N-Out has continued to expand its restaurants to locations outside ofCalifornia. It has moved into Utah and Texas within the last few years. In-N-Outs expansion to

Texas was made possible in part by the establishment of a new beef-processing plant and

distribution center, making further expansion possible.

21. In addition, In-N-Out maintains and promotes a website, www.in-n-out.com. Inconjunction with the website, In-N-Out operates a retail company store at http://shop.in-n-

out.com that offers for sale items such as hats, T-shirts, sportswear, mugs, water bottles, and

other accessories displaying In-N-Outs registered trademarks. In-N-Outs online store is

advertised and promoted nationwide and is accessible nationwide.

22. Consumers from across the country visit the In-N-Out website and retail store,and In-N-Out ships merchandise from its online company store across the country, including into

the State of Maryland.

23. From the period of June 2010 through July 20, 2011, In-N-Outs web site,www.in-n-out.com, received at least 158,228,721 hits nationwide. Of those, 637,330 hits came

from the State of Maryland, and at least 40,219 visitors to the web site were residents of the State

of Maryland.

24. From 2008 to the present, In-N-Out has sold nearly $30,000.00 in merchandisefrom its online retail store to Maryland residents.

25. In-N-Outs Marks are in use in and around Maryland through In-N-Outs web siteand merchandise sales to Maryland residents, and In-N-Out has therefore entered the Maryland



8/191

market.

DEFENDANTS WRONGFUL ACTS

26. On information and belief, Defendant is operating a restaurant named Grab-N-Goat 1005 Beards Hill Road, Aberdeen, Maryland, 21001. The restaurant is clearly modeled after

In-N-Outs restaurants.

27. The name of the restaurant, particularly the use of N as short for the wordand, the menu selection, the red, yellow, and white color scheme, and the interior design,

including white tile walls with a red stripe, all mirror design elements of In-N-Out restaurants.

The name on the interior and exterior of Defendants restaurant is Grab-N-Go. The words Grab-

N-Go are depicted in red block letters in a typeface identical to that used in In-N-Outs

trademarked logo. The name Grab-N-Go is also depicted in conjunction with a curved circular

design element in the color yellow in a manner that is highly similar to In-N-Outs use of the

trademarked phrase In-N-Out in conjunction with a bent yellow arrow.

28. In addition, Grab-N-Gos menu boards are similar to In-N-Outs menu boards inthat they use the similar logo, white background, and block letters. Moreover, Grab-N-Go offers

a Wild Style Burger that contains ingredients identical to the Animal Style burger offered by

In-N-Out. Pictures of Grab-N-Gos restaurant and menu and examples of In-N-Outs restaurants

and menu boards are attached hereto as Exhibit D.

29. On June 29, 2011, In-N-Out contacted the Defendant and requested that it ceaseand desist use of its current logo design, eliminate the white tiles and red stripe on the interior

walls, and change the current design and font of the menu boards. To date, the parties have been

unable to resolve the dispute and upon information and belief, Defendant continues to use the

same logo and interior and exterior dcor.



9/191

30. The use by Defendant of such colorable imitations of the IN-N-OUTS Marks andtrade dress is likely to cause confusion, mistake, or deception, as those encountering Defendants

business may mistakenly assume that said business is in some way sponsored, endorsed,

approved by, or connected with In-N-Out when in fact it is not.

31. IN-N-OUTs Marks and trade dress are wholly associated with In-N-Out due totheir long use, and therefore In-N-Out is deserving of having its IN-N-OUT Marks and trade

dress adequately protected with respect to the conduct of its business.

COUNT I

U.S.C. 1114.

34. Defendants acts have been willful and in conscious disregard of the trademarkrights of In-N-Out.

35. In-N-Out has suffered, is suffering, and will continue to suffer irreparable injuryfor which In-N-Out has no adequate remedy at law.

36. In-N-Out is entitled to a preliminary injunction to be made permanent upon entryof final judgment, preventing Defendants further infringement.

COUNT III

Trademark Dilution under Federal Law

44. In-N-Out repeats and realleges each and every allegation set forth in paragraphs 1through 43 above as if fully set forth herein.

45. Due to the duration and extent of the use of the IN-N-OUT Marks, theadvertising and publicity surrounding the same, the superior quality of the products and services

on which the IN-N-OUT Marks have been used, and the degree of recognition associated with

the IN-N-OUT Marks, the IN-N-OUT Marks are distinctive and famous within the meaning of

11/191

11

46. The aforementioned acts of Defendant constitute trademark dilution in violationof 15 U.S.C. 1125(c).

47. Defendants acts have been willful and in conscious disregard of the trademarkrights of In-N-Out.



50.

permanently enjoined from using, in connection with their business affairs, the IN-N-OUT

Marks or anything which so resembles the IN-N-OUT Marks so as to be likely to cause

confusion, deception, or mistake, including, but not limited to, using its current Grab-N-Go logo

and restaurant dcor mirroring In-N-Outs restaurants, as previously described herein;

2. That Defendant be ordered to deliver up for destruction any and all materials in its

possession, control or custody, including but not limited to, signs, packaging, forms,

advertisements, business cards, letterheads, circulars, boxes, serving material and/or other

representations and means for producing the same that make reference to or use any designation

or mark that is confusingly similar to the IN-N-OUT Marks;
