    3. Venue is appropriate in this district pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1391 and 1400

    contained in paragraphs 1 through 5 above, as though fully set forth herein.

    7. EGO created, and owns the copyright in and to, an image consisting of three

    9. Chicos has manufactured and sold the garment it markets as Dramatic Artisan

    as part of the surface design on its fabric.

    10. EGO has not authorized Chicos to reproduce the L Block on its Dramatic

    Artisan Burnout Kimono Jacket or any other item.

    11. EGO has complied in all respects with 17 U.S.C. 101 et seq., and secured the

    exclusive rights and privileges in and to the copyrights of the L Block. Plaintiff is the sole

    proprietor of all rights, title, and interest in and to the copyrights in the L Block.

    12. Defendants conduct violated the exclusive rights belonging to Plaintiff including

    without limitation Plaintiffs rights under 17 U.S.C. 106.

    13. Based on information and belief, Plaintiff alleges that, as a direct and proximate

    504 and 505.

    14. Defendants infringing conduct has also caused and is causing substantial and

    irreparable injury and damage to Plaintiff in an amount not capable of determination, and, unless

    law.

    15. Based on information and belief, Defendant has willfully engaged in, and is

    willfully infringing the copyright to the L Block in conscious disregard of the rights of Plaintiff.
