(together, “Plaintiffs” or “Calvin Klein”) hereby bring the present action against the Partnerships and Unincorporated Associations identified on Schedule A attached hereto (collectively, “Defendants”) and allege as follows: I. JURISDICTION AND VENUE 1. This Court has original subject matter jurisdiction over the claims in this action pursuant to the provisions of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1051 et seq., 28 U.S.C. § 1338(a)-(b) and 28 U.S.C. § 1331. This Court has jurisdiction over the claims in this action that arise under the laws of the State of Illinois pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1367(a), because the state law claims are so related to the federal claims that they form part of the same case or controversy and derive from a common nucleus of operative facts. 2. Venue is proper in this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1391, and this Court may properly exercise personal jurisdiction over Defendants since each of the Defendants directly targets business activities toward consumers in Illinois and causes harm to Calvin Klein’s Case: 1:15-cv-02224 Document #: 1 Filed: 03/13/15 Page 2 of 26 PageID #:2 business within this Judicial District. Through at least the fully interactive commercial Internet websites operating under the Defendant Domain Names and/or the Online Marketplace Accounts identified in Schedule A attached hereto (collectively, the “Defendant Internet Stores”), each of the Defendants has targeted sales from Illinois residents by operating online stores that offer shipping to the United States, including Illinois, accept payment in U.S. dollars and, on information and belief, has sold counterfeit Calvin Klein products to residents of Illinois. Each of the Defendants is committing tortious acts in Illinois, is engaging in interstate commerce, and has wrongfully caused Calvin Klein substantial injury in the State of Illinois. II. INTRODUCTION 3. This action has been filed by Calvin Klein to combat online counterfeiters who trade upon Calvin Klein’s reputation and goodwill by selling and/or offering for sale unauthorized and unlicensed counterfeit products, including underwear and watches, featuring Calvin Klein’s trademarks (the “Counterfeit Calvin Klein Products”). The Defendants create the Defendant Internet Stores by the hundreds or even thousands and design them to appear to be selling genuine Calvin Klein products, while actually selling Counterfeit Calvin Klein Products to unknowing consumers. The Defendant Internet Stores share unique identifiers, such as design elements and similarities of the counterfeit products offered for sale, establishing a logical relationship between them and suggesting that Defendants’ counterfeiting operation arises out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences. Defendants attempt to avoid liability by going to great lengths to conceal both their identities and the full scope and interworking of their counterfeiting operation. Calvin Klein is forced to file these actions to combat Defendants’ counterfeiting of the registered Calvin Klein trademarks, as well as to protect unknowing consumers from purchasing Counterfeit Calvin Klein Products over the 2 Case: 1:15-cv-02224 Document #: 1 Filed: 03/13/15 Page 3 of 26 PageID #:3 Internet. Calvin Klein has been and continues to be irreparably damaged through consumer confusion, dilution, and tarnishment of its valuable Calvin Klein trademarks as a result of Defendants’ actions and seeks injunctive and monetary relief.

The exclusive multi year licensing agreement allows PGB to source, manufacture, and distribute Calvin Klein Golf apparel for men and women. The license also includes the right to introduce other Calvin Klein Golf accessories on a global basis. The men’s and women’s Calvin Klein Golf Spring 2009 range is available at retail now from leading golf specialty stores and resorts in the UK, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Finland, Turkey, and Sweden.

This is an open access article licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 4.0 License (Review Article) Deconstruction of Gender Stereotypes Through Fashion Nihan Akdemir Assist. Prof. Dr., Altınbaş University, Faculty of Fine Arts and Design Abstract This research aims to investigate the role of fashion in the context of the deconstruction of gender stereotypes. Expectation of society and culture related to the biological structure of the individual carries some roles and this role also carries many gender stereotypes in it. But the individual can be use the clothing style to express his or her gender identity which may not match the expectations of the community and society. In the context of big role of the clothing, stereotypes could be deconstructed because clothes are the visible expression of gender identity of the person. And fashion is a big part of this structure because fashion is a pioneer of what people wear. Nowadays fashion has also mean about expressing identity independent of whether you were born male or female. Many fashion brands prepare their collections in the concept of ‘gender fluid’ by deconstructions. The representations of gender fluidity through fashion help bring a sense of normality to people who are trying to find the self-confidence to express who they want to be. And the results are showed that the numbers of collections about it are increasing and fashion sector takes this issue into consideration.

  • Facultad De Ciencias Sociales Y Jurídicas De Elche Trabajo Fin De Grado
    FACULTAD DE CIENCIAS SOCIALES Y JURÍDICAS DE ELCHE TRABAJO FIN DE GRADO GRADO EN ADMINISTRACIÓN Y DIRECCIÓN DE EMPRESAS TÍTULO: La sociedad a través de los anuncios de Nike, Calvin Klein y Benetton. Polémica, superación y la defensa de la igualdad. ALUMNO/A: Carmen Victoria Aguado López TUTOR: Elena González Gascón DPTO.: Estudios Económicos y Financieros Resumen El objetivo principal de este Trabajo de Fin de Grado es analizar la evolución publicitaria de diversas empresas. Para alcanzar dicho objetivo se analizan los spots más representativos de Nike, Calvin Klein y Benetton que se muestran asi como una visión sobre los mismos. El porqué de este trabajo es comprobar cómo estas empresas han ido adaptándose a los cambios de la sociedad o generando polémicas para quedar grabadas en las retinas de los consumidores. La población mundial, así como sus ansias de consumo, han ido creciendo en las últimas décadas al igual que el aumento del poder adquisitivo. Además la competencia en la industria en cada vez mayor y cualquier disimilitud hace que se hable más de una empresa que de otra. En primer lugar se realiza una breve evolución histórica de la publicidad a modo introductorio para describir los cambios que se ha producido a lo largo de los siglos. Así como los diferentes tipos de escritura y medios de realizar publicidad. Seguidamente se realiza un análisis de las campañas más significativas en diversos medios comunicativos (prensa y Tv) de Nike, Calvin Klein y Benetton concluyendo cada apartado con una escueta valoración personal de la misma. Estas empresas han sido seleccionadas por la cercanía que tienen con el público joven así como las campañas que han realizado denunciando diversos aspectos o mostrando imágenes que han causado cierta revolución.
