COMPLAINT
Plaintiff, Digital Dream Labs, LLC , by its undersigned counsel, respectfully sets forth
this Complaint against Defendant, Living Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. d/b/a Living.Ai and
Emo Pet, stating as follows:
INTRODUCTION
1. This dispute arises from the wrongful and intentional acts of the Defendant Living
Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. d/b/a Living.Ai and Emo Pet (collectively, “Living.Ai” or
“Defendant”) to infringe and profit from the intellectual property rights, including copyright,
patent, trademark and trade dress rights, and commercial reputation belonging to, and otherwise
interfere with the contractual relations of Plaintiff Digital Dream Labs, LLC (“DDL”). At a
minimum1, Defendant has intentionally and willfully copied, duplicated, and reproduced the
following proprietary items owned by Plaintiff for Defendant’s own commercial use and profit:
1
Plaintiff is continuing to investigate the full scope of Defendant’s infringing conduct and other
wrongful acts, and Plaintiff reserves its right to amend this Complaint.
1) the patented head, face, and eye designs for a toy robot; 2) the copyrighted audio “voice” and
sounds used for a toy robot; 3) the registered trademark – VECTOR® – for use with, inter alia,
“Toy robots and smart robot toys”; and 4) the unauthorized and intentional display of Plaintiff’s
toy robot designs and trade dress for VECTOR® and COZMO® robots in Defendant’s own
marketing advertisements for Defendant’s infringing EMO toy robot, whereby Defendant at least
has created a false association between the parties’ products and a false endorsement of EMO by
Plaintiff.
2. VECTOR® and COZMO® are robotic companions made to socialize and assist
the user. Powered by artificial intelligence (“ai”) and advanced robotics, they are full of
personality and engaged by sight, sound, and touch. Both are voice-activated and will, among
other things, answer questions, take photos for you, time dinner, show you the weather, and
more. For example, if you choose to set up Alexa on your VECTOR®, you'll be able to: set
reminders, control smart home devices like lights, speakers, and thermostats, and so much more.
VECTOR® can independently navigate and self-charge. He recognizes people and avoids
obstacles. Both robots have an updating platform and are Cloud connected via Wi-Fi so they are
always learning and updating with new skills and features.
3. VECTOR® and COZMO® are both currently owned, advertised, and marketed
by DDL. VECTOR® now includes a subscription service that provides constant software
updates, in-app games and features, and other exclusive content provided by DDL.
4. DDL is not opposed to competition in the marketplace for toy robots
incorporating ai and competition does exist in this market, including without limitation, the
-2-
WowWee Tribot, Dash and Dot, Lego Mindstorms EV 3, and Sphero BB-8 Droid. However,
DDL significantly opposes competition based on the theft of DDL’s intellectual property.
PARTIES
5. Plaintiff DDL is a Pennsylvania limited liability company with its principle place
of business at 100 South Commons, Pittsburgh, PA 15212. DDL is a technology education
company that sells and markets several high-functioning and interactive robots, including
VECTOR® and COZMO®, pictured below in that order.
6. Upon information and belief, Defendant Living.Ai is a Chinese corporation with
its principle place of business at 7H, Centre Avenue Mansion, Block D, Yuehe Road, Baoan
District, Shenzhen, Guangdong, 518000 China, and it is currently marketing a robotic desk
companion named EMO a/k/a EMO pet for sale in the United States. EMO is pictured below at
two different angles.
-3-
JURISDICTION AND VENUE
7. This Court has federal question jurisdiction for DDL’s copyright, patent, and
trademark infringement claims under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1338(a).
8. In addition, this Court also has federal question jurisdiction over DDL’s trade
dress claim under Section 43(a) of the Lanham Act pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1121.
9. Furthermore, this Court has supplemental jurisdiction over DDL’s state law claim
under 28 U.S.C. § 1367, as DDL’s state law claim forms part of the same case and controversy
as its federal statutory claims.
10. More specifically, and as set forth more fully below, (a) Living.Ai has committed
intentional acts and torts against DDL, (b) DDL has felt the brunt of the harm in this judicial
district such that this judicial district is the focal point of the harm suffered by DDL as a result of
the intentional acts and torts committed by Living.Ai, and (c) Living.Ai expressly aimed its
intentional acts and torts at this judicial district such that this district is the focal point of such
acts and torts.
11. Personal jurisdiction is also proper in this Court and this judicial district as the
collective actions of Living.Ai intentionally created an affiliation with DDL, which is located in
this judicial district in Pittsburgh, PA, and willfully and intentionally created confusion and
uncertainty regarding the association between the parties and the endorsement of EMO by DDL.
Further, as set forth more fully below, Living.Ai has intentionally sought to introduce EMO into
the United States, despite receiving a notice of infringement from DDL, has continued to market
EMO in this judicial district and intentionally directed its acts of infringement and
misappropriation against DDL in this judicial district.
-4-
12. Alternatively, personal jurisdiction is also proper in this Court and this judicial
district under Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(k)(1)(A) because DDL’s claims arise under federal law and upon
information and belief, Living.Ai is not subject to the jurisdiction of any state’s courts of general
jurisdiction.
13. Venue in this judicial district is proper under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1391 and1400(a)-(b).
FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS
I. Background
14. DDL is a Pittsburgh-based education technology start-up that was formed in July
of 2012. DDL’s mission is to bring objects to life through robotics and artificial intelligence,
allowing people to build relationships with technology.
15. In December of 2019, DDL acquired all the assets of another robotics company,
Anki, Inc. (“Anki”), in a public sale and offering. Anki was the original developer of, among
other products, two (2) high-functioning and interactive robots called VECTOR® and
COZMO®. By assignment, all of Anki’s intellectual property assets were transferred to DDL.
16. One of the main reasons DDL acquired the entirety of Anki’s assets was the
former company’s market presence. Acquiring all of Anki’s intellectual property assets,
including registered patents and trademarks for VECTOR® and COZMO®, provided DDL with
access to a built-in customer base of millions together with an established relationship to the
VECTOR® and COZMO® products, along with other technology and intellectual property
rights.
17. COZMO® was introduced into the United States market by Anki in 2016.
VECTOR® made its debut to the United States market in 2018. VECTOR® was introduced to
-5-
consumers through a Kickstarter campaign that launched on August 8, 2018. The original
VECTOR® Kickstarter page is accessible here:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/anki/vector-by-anki-a-giant-roll-forward-for-robot-
kind?ref=discovery&term=ANKI. This date is relevant because the design of EMO began to
change after VECTOR®’s introduction to mimic many aspects of VECTOR® as well as the
earlier design of COZMO®
18. The assets acquired by DDL from Anki included various patents and trademarks
relating to the design and function of both the VECTOR® and COZMO® robots. These patents
included three (3) U.S. Patents that cover the design of the head and eyes of both the VECTOR®
and COZMO® robots. DDL is continuing to investigate the application of other utility patents to
EMO.
19. United States Design Patent Nos. D812,153 and D812,154; dated March 6, 2018
titled “Toy Robot Head” and “Toy Robot Eyes”, are attached hereto as Exhibits A and B,
respectively. United States Design Patent No. D811,496 dated February 27, 2018 and titled
“Toy Robot Eye” is attached hereto as Exhibit C. These three (3) Patents shall collectively be
referred to as the “DDL Patents.”
20. The DDL Patents cover the unique shape and design of the VECTOR® and
COZMO® head and eyes. Figure 1 from each DDL Patent is displayed below:
-6-
21. The design covered by the DDL Patents is intended to replicate the head of a
baby, with rounded surfaces, "ears" at the side panels and large eyes.
22. Similarly, as a result of the sale by Anki, DDL acquired rights to all trademarks
associated with Anki, including, but not limited to the marks VECTOR® and COZMO®, which
are respectively protected at U.S. Registered Trademark No. 5,711,131 dated March 26, 2019,
and attached hereto as Exhibit D (hereinafter “VECTOR® Trademark”) and U.S. Registered
Trademark No. 5842149, dated August 27, 2019, and attached hereto as Exhibit E (hereinafter
“COZMO® Trademark”).
23. Thereafter, in September of 2020, in order to further protect its interests in the
COZMO® robot, DDL applied for and was granted two (2) valid U.S. Copyright Registrations
covering the history and design of the sound recordings used to create the voice and
exclamations of COZMO®. See U.S. Copyright Registration Nos. SR 879-604 and SRu 1-424-
806, attached hereto as Exhibits F and G, respectively (hereinafter “the DDL Copyrights”).
II. Living.Ai’s Infringement of DDL’s Patents, Copyrights, and Trademarks
24. On September 1, 2020, DDL became aware that Living.Ai was marketing its
EMO robot for release in the United States. Specifically, Living.Ai utilized a series of posts on
the social media platforms Instagram® and Facebook®, including a Facebook® page with
multiple posts indicating that “VECTOR® and EMO are friends,” while also uploading a pre-
launch marketing video to YouTube®.
25. The pre-launch marketing video released by Living.Ai on its own website,
YouTube® page, and Facebook® page included a segment where VECTOR®, which is
-7-
exclusively owned by DDL, is placed next to EMO and EMO reacts. A screenshot of Living.Ai’s
original pre-launch marketing video can be seen below:
26. Living.Ai specifically enhanced and expanded the false association and/or
endorsement of EMO by DDL when questions arose about the affiliation between VECTOR®
and EMO within the Living.Ai Facebook® group. On multiple occaisions where potential
consumers questioned the association between EMO and VECTOR®, the Living.Ai Facebook®
moderator replied by identifying VECTOR® and EMO as friends, including as follows:
-8-
27. The use of VECTOR® in its pre-launch marketing video, without the consent of
DDL, the multiple references to “VECTOR® and EMO are friends” throughout Living.Ai’s
social media accounts, and the YouTube® video directly infringed on the VECTOR®
Trademark. More specifically, these various references to VECTOR® created, at a minimum, a
false association between VECTOR® and EMO and a false endorsement of EMO and Living.Ai
by DDL.
28. Additionally, the pre-launch video utilized by Living.Ai further created a false
asssociation with DDL through Living.Ai’s intentional and knowing inclusion of segments of
various marketing videos substantially similar to those prepared by Anki for the promotion of
COZMO®. The Living.Ai video segments were prepared and distributed by Living.Ai to target
current DDL customers and misrepresent a direct affiliation with VECTOR® and COZMO®.
One, but not the only, example of the video segrements directly copied from a COZMO®
promotional video (first photograph) and compared to the EMO pre-launch video (second
photograph) can be seen below:
29. As demonstrated above, all of the early marketing produced and distributed by
Living.Ai was directly targeted to current customers of DDL to make a false association between
-9-
EMO, on the one hand, and VECTOR® and COZMO®, on the other hand. Indeed, when the
original pre-launch marketing video was released in the United States, individuals commenting
on online forums and chat boards, as well as technology reviewers, immediately assumed that
EMO had been developed by DDL as an updated version of VECTOR® and/or COZMO®. See
Upcoming Tech, Ep. 1, “EMO – Desktop AI Robot Pet: Vector Clone?”, dated September 18,
2020, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnzUvRBc094&feature=youtu.be, last visited
October 1, 2020; see also, LJP Tech, “Emo The Desktop Robot Pet – My Thoughts”, dated
September 5, 2020, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebEc8NpnyVE, last visited October 2,
2020 (“How could Living.Ai copy all those files[?] If they have done so without the permission
of Digital Dream Labs, this is a serious crime.”).
30. The similarities between VECTOR® and COZMO®, on the one hand, and EMO,
on the other hand, are readily apparent. Living.Ai has willfully and intentionally copied,
reproduced, and infringed on DDL’s patents, trademarks, and copyrights regarding the
VECTOR® and COZMO® robots. For example, the design and animations of the EMO robot’s
eyes and head was directly copied from the DDL Patents used to design and develop the
VECTOR® and COZMO® eyes and head.
31. Placing VECTOR® and EMO in a side-by-side comparison, as was done in
Living.Ai’s pre-launch marketing video, reveals other noticable similarities; the software, the
motions, the sound effects, and the behavior of both robots is nearly identical.
32. The false association and direct attempt by Living.Ai to target DDL’s consumer
base with a false endorsement of EMO, while simultaneously irreparably damaging DDL’s
goodwill and reputation in the robotics community, is further demonstrated by the following
- 10 -
exchange on Reddit, a website that creates a network of communities for individuals with similar
interests, dated September 1, 2020:
33. Below are the animations and eye shape of EMO when prompted by the user
about the weather (on the right), as noted in the Reddit thread, and they are virtually identical to
those currently installed, patented, and used in VECTOR® (on the left):
- 11 -
34. As demonstrated above, it is nearly impossible to distinguish between the head,
eyes, and animation of VECTOR® and EMO. In effect, Living.Ai has created a “knock-off”
version of VECTOR® that Living.Ai intends to sell at a discounted price.
35. The characteristics and visual appearance of EMO was intentionally and willfullly
designed by Living.Ai to signify to consumers, particularly those consumers familiar with
VECTOR® and COZMO®, that EMO was an updated or “second generation” version of
VECTOR® and/or other DDL products.
36. In addition, as noted above, the sound effects and “voice” of EMO directly
infringe on the valid DDL Copyrights owned and exclusively controlled by DDL. Specifically,
EMO utilizes a substantially similar set of sound effects and “exclamations” as those designed
and recorded solely for the COZMO® robot.
37. The tables below (collectively referred to as the “Copyright Tables”)
demonstrate the location of each copyrighted voice design owned by DDL and where it is
reproduced, copied, and infringed upon in the EMO pre-launch marketing video, that can be
found on the Living.Ai website:

(last visited October 2, 2020).
39. In effect, the infringing EMO robot currently being marketed by Living.Ai in the
United States is a combination of VECTOR®’s head, eyes, and animation and COZMO®’s
sound effects and exclamations. These elements are protected by copyright and patent, as well as
trade dress.
- 13 -
40. Upon information and belief, after the launch of the VECTOR® Kickstarter in
August of 2018, Living.Ai substantially changed the design, development, and functions of EMO
to directly copy the VECTOR® robot and COZMO® audio sounds.
41. At no time did Living.Ai seek the consent or approval of DDL to utilize any of
the trademarks, trade dress, copyrights, or patents associated with VECTOR® and COZMO®,
and DDL specifically asserts that no such consent was ever given.
42. Living.Ai’s egregious infringement of DDL’s trademarks, trade dress copyrights,
patents, and commerical advertising has resulted in a false association between EMO and DDL
and has misrepresented that DDL actively promotes, sponsors, and/or approves of the EMO
robot.
III. Pre-Suit Notice of Infringing Behavior and DDL’s Removal of Online

Content
43. As soon as DDL became aware of the infringing material posted on Living.Ai’s
Facebook®, YouTube®, and Instagram® accounts, DDL filed several notices and complaints of
infringement with those social media companies, with DDL asserting its trademark, copyright,
and patent rights and requesting that the content be removed. An example of the infringing
material posted in one Living.Ai social media site is below:
- 14 -
44. As a result of its notices/complaints, the infringing content produced and
distributed by Living.Ai on Facebook®, YouTube®, and Instagram®, and the following links
have been disabled due to the patent, copyright, and trademark infringements of Living.Ai:

45. On September 18, 2020, counsel for DDL sent a Notice of Infringement of
Intellectual Property Rights of Digital Dream Labs, LLC to Living.Ai asserting that the design
and functions of EMO violated the following intellectual property rights of DDL: 1) Violation
and infringement of U.S. design patents, including without limitation, U.S. Patents Nos.
D811,496, D812154, and D812,153; 2) Violation and infringement of U.S. and foreign utility
patents, including, without limitation, U.S. Patent Nos. 9,155,961, 9,919,232, 9,177,239, and
9,996,369, together with other pending applications in at least the United States and China; 3)
Violation and infringement of copyrights relating to the design of the VECTOR® robot and also
video and audio files created by DDL for promotion of COZMO®; 4) Violation and
- 16 -
infringement of the VECTOR® trademark; and 5) Violation and infringement of trade dress
relating to the VECTOR® and COZMO® robots. See Notice of Infringement of Intellectual
Property Rights of Digital Dream Labs, LLC dated September 18, 2020, attached hereto as
Exhibit H.
46. Thereafter, DDL became aware that Living.Ai planned to launch EMO in North
America through the website Indiegogo® in order to sell directly to consumers in the United
States. Indiegogo, Inc. is a California company that specifically markets itself to Chinese
companies looking to break into the United States market. See Indiegogo for Entrepreneurs,
“Indiegogo China: Your Fast Track to the Global Market”,
https://entrepreneur.indiegogo.com/how-it-works/indiegogo-china/ (last visited October 1, 2020).
47. On September 21, 2020, DDL filed a Notice of Copyright Violation with
Indiegogo® and requested the removal of Living.Ai’s EMO launch website due to the alleged
infringements detailed above.
48. Thereafter, on September 23, 2020, Indiegogo® disabled the website link to
Living.Ai’s global launch of EMO, including the United States .2
49. Despite its knowing infringements of DDL’s intellectual property and the removal
of multiple website links for Living.Ai’s copycat product EMO (first photograph below),
Living.Ai continues to actively challenge the disablement of its infringing posts and seek other
avenues to begin selling EMO in the United States and has admitted its intent to do so on the
Living.Ai website (second photograph below):

- 17 -
50. Following the removal of Living.Ai’s Indiegogo launch page DDL quickly
discovered that the EMO robot was being advertised on other third-party websites for $19.99.
These third-party websites include: https://comingsoon.higizmos.com/emo and

J7AuegzRWRWZPF5E9_nRYle29fhMiqF-o8v-8
51. Upon information and belief Living.Ai continues to attempt to promote, offer for
sale, and/or import into the United States, including this judicial district, the robot EMO, which
directly and willfully infringes on the intellectual property rights of DDL, even after receiving
DDL’s September 18, 2020 cease and desist letter and corresponding with DDL about the
violations.
COUNT I
Copyright Infringement
Digital Dream Labs, LLC vs. Living.Ai
52. The preceding paragraphs of the Complaint are hereby incorporated by reference
as though the same were fully set forth herein.
- 18 -
53. The DDL Copyrights were and are, at all relevant times were, owned exclusively
by DDL.
54. The DDL Copyrights cover the sound/audio recordings of certain sounds and
exclamations of COZMO®. See U.S. Copyright Registration Nos. SR 879-604 and SRu 1-424-
806, at Exhibits F and G, respectively.
55. Upon information and belief, Living.Ai had access to and knowledge of the
sounds that are protected by the DDL Copyrights.
56. Living.Ai has directly, willfully, and intentionally infringed the sound/audio
recordings protected by the DDL Copyrights and set forth in the Copyright Tables listed above
by creating substantially similar sounds for use with the voice and exclamations of the EMO
robot.
57. More specifically, Living.Ai infringed DDL’s copyrights by integrating
substantially similar sounds and exclamations, as identified in the Copyright Tables above, into
the design of the EMO robot without DDL’s authorization or consent.
58. Furthermore, Living.Ai continues to infringe on DDL’s copyrights by continuing
to market, display, and offering to sell the EMO robot with substantially similar sounds and
exclamations subsequent to receiving notice of DDL’s rights in the subject copyrights.
59. Living.Ai has committed copyright infringement with actual or constructive
notice and knowledge of DDL’s rights, and/or in blatant disregard for DDL’s rights, such that
said acts of copyright infringement were, and continue to be, willful, intentional and malicious.
60. Living.Ai infringed DDL’s copyrights by utilizing substantially similar sounds
and exclamations in its pre-launch video for the EMO robot on many platforms, including,
- 19 -
without limitation, its personal website, Facebook® page, Instagram® account, and YouTube®
channel without DDL’s authorization - both before and subsequent to receiving notice of DDL’s
rights in and to the audio recordings detailed in the DDL Copyrights.
61. Living.Ai’s acts of infringement, as alleged herein and in violation of the
Copyright Act, have caused and, unless enjoined by this Court, will continue to cause irreparable
harm to DDL. Further, the threatened and/or actual injuries that DDL has suffered and/or will
suffer are immediate and irreparable. Because of the difficulty in quantifying injury and harm to
DDL’s ability to compete and to maintain a competitive advantage through its intellectual
property, including the infringement of its valid Copyrights, damage to DDL’s business,
reputation, valuable rights in and to the DDL Copyrights, and goodwill associated therewith,
monetary damages alone will not fully compensate DDL for such wrongful conduct. DDL
therefore lacks an adequate and complete remedy at law and is entitled to injunctive relief.
62. Due to Living.Ai’s acts of infringement, DDL has suffered financial damages,
including but not limited to lost profits, in a presently undetermined amount.
63. Due to Living.Ai’s acts of copyright infringement, as alleged herein, Living.Ai
has obtained direct and indirect commercial and financial benefits and profit they would not
otherwise have realized but for their infringement of the DDL Copyrights. As such, DDL is
entitled to disgorgement of Living.Ai’s profits and/or financial benefits directly and indirectly
attributable to Living.Ai’s infringement of the DDL Copyrights in an amount to be established at
trial.

Patent Infringement
65. As noted above, DDL is the owner, by assignment, of the entire right, title, and
interest in and to the DDL Patents and has all rights to sue for infringement of the DDL Patents.
66. DDL is the sole owner of United States Design Patent Nos. D812,153 and
D812,154; dated March 6, 2018 titled “Toy Robot Head” and “Toy Robot Eyes”, see Exhibits A
and B, respectively, and United States Design Patent No. D811,496 dated February 27, 2018 and
titled “Toy Robot Eye”, see Exhibit C.
67. The DDL Patents covering the unique shape and design of the VECTOR® and
COZMO® head and eyes have been directly, willfully, intentionally, and maliciously infringed
by Living.Ai.
68. Upon information and belief, Living.Ai has been importing, advertising,
marketing, selling, and/or offering for sale its EMO robot in and/or into the United States and
thereby directly infringing upon the DDL Patents.
69. Living.Ai’s importing, advertising, marketing, selling, and/or offering for sale its
EMO robot in and/or into the United States is a violation of DDL’s statutory rights under the
United States Patent Statute. See 35 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq.
70. Living.Ai has been and continues to infringe on DDL’s patent rights by
importing, advertising, marketing, selling, and/or offering for sale its EMO robot, directly or
- 21 -
through the use of intermediaries, within this judicial district and elsewhere within the United
States, its territories and possessions.
71. Living.Ai has been and continues to infringe on DDL’s patent rights by inducing
others to advertise, market, sell, offer for sale and/or use its EMO robot, directly or through the
use of other intermediaries, within this judicial district and elsewhere within the United States, its
territories and possessions. For example, Living.Ai partnered with Indiegogo to sell and/or offer
to sell the EMO robot.
72. Living.Ai’s acts of infringement, as alleged herein and in violation of U.S. Patent
law, have caused and, unless enjoined by this Court, will continue to cause irreparable harm to
DDL. Further, the threatened and/or actual injuries that DDL has suffered and/or will suffer are
immediate and irreparable. Because of the difficulty in quantifying injury and harm to DDL’s
ability to compete and to maintain a competitive advantage through its intellectual property,
including the infringement of its valid Patents, damage to DDL’s business, reputation, valuable
rights in and to the DDL Patents, and goodwill associated therewith, monetary damages alone
will not fully compensate DDL for such wrongful conduct. DDL therefore lacks an adequate and
complete remedy at law and is entitled to injunctive relief.
73. Due to Living.Ai’s acts of infringement, DDL has suffered financial damages,
including but not limited to lost profits, in a presently undetermined amount.
74. Due to Living.Ai’s acts of patent infringement, as alleged herein, Living Ai has
obtained direct and indirect commercial and financial benefits and profit they would not
otherwise have realized but for their infringement of the DDL Patents. As such, DDL is entitled
to disgorgement of Living.Ai’s profits and/or financial benefits directly and indirectly
- 22 -
attributable to Living.Ai’s infringement of the DDL Patents in an amount to be established at
trial.
75. Due to Living.Ai’s acts of infringement, DDL is entitled to compensatory
damages for infringement of its design patents under 35 U.S.C. § 289.
76. Due to Living.Ai’s acts of infringement, DDL is entitled to treble the amount of
compensatory damages for infringement of its design patents under 35 U.S.C. § 284.
77. Due to Living.Ai’s acts of infringement, DDL is entitled to reasonable attorneys’
fees and the costs of this action. An award to DDL of its attorneys’ fees and costs is available
pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 285.
78. Due to Living.Ai’s acts of infringement, DDL seeks pre-judgment and post-
judgment interest on the above monetary awards and such other and further relief as this Court
deems just and proper.
COUNT III
Trademark Infringement
Digital Dream Labs, LLC vs. Living Ai
80. DDL has acquired the rights to all trademarks associated with Anki, including but
not limited to VECTOR®, and COZMO®, as set forth in U.S. Registered Trademark No.
5,711,131 dated March 26, 2019, see Exhibit D, and U.S. Registered Trademark No. 5842149,
dated August 27, 2019, see Exhibit E.
- 23 -
81. DDL is the owner, by assignment, of the entire right, title, and interest in and to
the VECTOR® trademark and has all rights to sue for infringement of the VECTOR®
trademark.
82. Living.Ai has used and/or is continuing to use VECTOR® in connection with the
advertisement, promotion, and/or sale of the EMO robot, which directly infringes on the
trademark rights exclusively owned and controlled by DDL, without authorization, consent, or
license to do so from DDL.
83. Without DDL’s authorization, consent, or license, but with actual or constructive
knowledge of the well-known, identifiable, and popular desktop robot VECTOR®, and with
knowledge that Living.Ai’s EMO robot was not affiliated, endorsed, or associated with
VECTOR®, Living.Ai utilized the goodwill and consumer recognition of VECTOR® to (i)
advertise, marking, import, promote, distribute, display, and/or offer for sale and/or sell the EMO
robot, (ii) create a false association between DDL and the EMO robot, (iii) create a false
endorsement of the EMO robot by DDL, and (iv) disparage the reputation and goodwill of DDL.
84. Living.Ai’s actions constitute willful infringement of DDL’s trademarks in
violation of 15 U.S.C. § 1114(1)(a) – (b), § 1117(a) – (b), and § 1125.
85. The use of DDL’s product, VECTOR®, in Living Ai’s Facebook® posts and pre-
launch marketing video has caused, and is likely to continue to cause, confusion, mistake, and
deception among the general public as to the origin of the EMO robot, and is likely to deceive
consumers, the public, and the robotics trade into believing that the EMO robot originates from,
is associated with, or is otherwise authorized by DDL, in violation of 15 U.S.C. § 1114(a).
- 24 -
86. Living.Ai’s acts of infringement, as alleged herein and in violation of U.S.
Trademark law, have caused and, unless enjoined by this Court, will continue to cause
irreparable harm to DDL. Further, the threatened and/or actual injuries that DDL has suffered
and/or will suffer are immediate and irreparable. Because of the difficulty in quantifying injury
and harm to DDL’s ability to compete and to maintain a competitive advantage through its
intellectual property, including the infringement of its valid VECTOR® Trademark, damage to
DDL’s business, reputation, valuable rights in and to the VECTOR® product, name and
goodwill associated therewith, monetary damages alone will not fully compensate DDL for such
wrongful conduct. DDL therefore lacks an adequate and complete remedy at law and is entitled
to injunctive relief.
87. Living.Ai’s acts of infringement, as alleged herein and in violation of U.S.
Trademark law, have caused and, unless enjoined by this Court, will continue to cause
irreparable harm to DDL, for which DDL has no adequate remedy at law.
88. Due to Living.Ai’s acts of trademark infringement, as alleged herein, Living.Ai
has obtained direct and indirect commercial and financial benefits and profit they would not
otherwise have realized but for their infringement of the VECTOR® trademark. As such, DDL is
entitled to disgorgement of Living.Ai’s profits and/or financial benefits directly and indirectly
attributable to Living.Ai’s infringement of the VECTOR® trademark in an amount to be
established at trial.
89. Due to Living.Ai’s acts of infringement, DDL is entitled to reasonable attorneys’
fees and the costs of this action.

COUNT IV
Trade Dress
Digital Dream Labs, LLC vs. Living Ai
91. Both the VECTOR® and COZMO® robots are instantly recognizable and have
engendered an excellent reputation and goodwill within the robotics community and consumer
market in the United States. This consumer recognition and goodwill extends to DDL as the
owner and current developer of VECTOR® and COZMO®.
92. Living.Ai’s use of a knockoff duplicate or confusingly similar imitation of both
VECTOR® and COZMO®’s trade dress has caused and is likely to cause confusion, deception,
and mistake by creating the false and misleading impression that Living.Ai’s EMO robot is
manufactured, developed, designed, or distributed by DDL, or is affiliated, connected, or
associated with DDL, or has the sponsorship, endorsement, or approval of DDL.
93. Living.Ai has made false representations, false descriptions, and false
designations of the origin of the EMO robot in violation of 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a), and Living.Ai’s
activities have caused and, unless enjoined by this Court, will continue to cause a likelihood of
confusion and deception of members of the robotics trade and public and, additionally, injury to
DDL’s goodwill and reputation as symbolized by the VECTOR® and COZMO® trade dress.
94. Living.Ai’s acts, as alleged herein and in violation of the Lanham Act, have
caused and, unless enjoined by this Court, will continue to cause irreparable harm to DDL.
Further, the threatened and/or actual injuries that DDL has suffered and/or will suffer are
immediate and irreparable. Because of the difficulty in quantifying injury and harm to DDL,
- 26 -
including damage to DDL’s business, reputation, valuable rights in and to the VECTOR® and
COZMO® products and trade dress, name and goodwill associated therewith, monetary
damages alone will not fully compensate DDL for such wrongful conduct. DDL therefore lacks
an adequate and complete remedy at law and is entitled to injunctive relief.
95. Due to Living.Ai’s conduct, as alleged herein, Living.Ai has obtained direct and
indirect commercial and financial benefits and profit they would not otherwise have realized but
for their infringement of the VECTOR® and COZMO® trade dress. As such, DDL is entitled to
disgorgement of Living.Ai’s profits and/or financial benefits directly and indirectly attributable
to Living Ai’s infringement of the VECTOR® and COZMO® trade dress in an amount to be
established at trial.
96. Living.Ai’s actions demonstrate an intentional, willful, and malicious intent to
trade on the goodwill and trade dress associated with DDL’s VECTOR® and COZMO® robots
to the great and irreparable injury of DDL.
97. Living.Ai’s conduct has caused, and is likely to continue causing, substantial
injury to the public and to DDL, and DDL is entitled to injunctive relief and to recover actual
damages, enhanced profits and damages, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees pursuant to 15
U.S.C. § 1116, § 1117, and § 1125(a).
- 27 -
COUNT V
Intentional Interference with Existing and Prospective Business Relationships
99. Living.Ai has acted and continues to act with the intent and for the purpose of
harming and destroying DDL’s business by attempting to interfere, interfering with, and
disrupting DDL’s contractual relationships with its existing and prospective customers.
100. Living.Ai has no right or privilege to interfere with DDL’s present or prospective
contractual and/or business relationships.
101. Living.Ai has intentionally manufactured, marketed, advertised, and offered for
sale an inferior product while materially misrepresenting its association to DDL in a manner that
has harmed, interfered with, and disrupted DDL’s business and business relationship with current
and prospective customers.
102. As a direct result of the intentional and tortious interference by Living.Ai with
DDL’s existing contractual relationships and its attempts to disrupt and interfere with DDL’s
prospective contractual and business relationships, DDL has suffered and will continue to suffer
substantial damages, including but not limited to the impairment or destruction of DDL’s brand,
loss of goodwill and customer relationships, and lost profits.
103. Further, the threatened and/or actual injuries that DDL has suffered and/or will
suffer are immediate and irreparable. Because of the difficulty in quantifying injury and harm to
DDL’s ability to compete and to maintain a competitive advantage through its intellectual
property and valuable existing and prospective customer relationships, as well as the harm
- 28 -
resulting from Living.Ai’s intentional interference with DDL’s contractual relations, monetary
damages alone will not fully compensate DDL for such wrongful conduct. DDL therefore lacks
an adequate and complete remedy at law and is entitled to injunctive relief.
104. As a direct and proximate result of the wrongful and tortious conduct alleged
herein, DDL is in imminent danger of suffering irreparable harm in the form of lost valuable
relationships with its customers and prospective customers; the loss of valuable contracts, sales
opportunities, orders, and profits; the loss of DDL’s goodwill, reputation, and standing in the
business and robotics community; the loss of DDL’s competitive advantage afforded by its
intellectual property rights; and the loss of DDL’s investment of time, money, and other
resources in developing, marketing, advertising, and improving the current products in its
collection.

Authority For Civil Cover Sheet
The JS 44 civil cover sheet and the information contained herein neither replaces nor supplements the filings and service of pleading or other papers as
required by law, except as provided by local rules of court. This form, approved by the Judicial Conference of the United States in September 1974, is
required for the use of the Clerk of Court for the purpose of initiating the civil docket sheet. Consequently, a civil cover sheet is submitted to the Clerk of
Court for each civil complaint filed. The attorney filing a case should complete the form as follows:
I.(a) Plaintiffs-Defendants. Enter names (last, first, middle initial) of plaintiff and defendant. If the plaintiff or defendant is a government agency, use
only the full name or standard abbreviations. If the plaintiff or defendant is an official within a government agency, identify first the agency and
then the official, giving both name and title.

Dear Sir or Madam:
We serve as intellectual property and litigation counsel to DDL. DDL has acquired the
intellectual property of Anki, Inc., including without limitation, patents and trademarks, relating
to the design and function of VECTOR and COZMO robots. In this capacity, we have been made
aware of your efforts to promote an EMO robot by use of social media including Facebook and
Instagram. We further understand that you plan a Kickstarter campaign for EMO.
Please be advised that the design and functions of EMO violate the intellectual property
rights of DDL in various respect, including, without limitation:
1. Violation and infringement of U.S. design patents, including without limitation,

U.S. Patents Nos. D811,496, D812154, and D812,153.
2. Violation and infringement of U.S. and foreign utility patents, including, without
limitation, U.S. Patent Nos. 9,155,961, 9,919,232, 9,177,239, and 9,996,369, together with other

4. Violation and infringement of the VECTOR trademark. Among other infringing

behavior, you and your company are using this mark without permission and are falsely asserting
an association with and/or endorsement by DDL and its VECTOR robot.
5. Violation and infringement of trade dress relating to the VECTOR and COZMO
robots.
Accordingly, demand is made that you immediately cease and desist from any sale, offer
to sell, making, importing, and promotion of the EMO robot. I understand that you are already
aware that DDL has taken action with Facebook Absent compliance, DDL reserves all rights to
pursue injunctive relief and claims for money damages based on knowing and willful infringement
of DDL’s intellectual property rights, and continued infringement will trigger all consequences
associated with willful and intentional infringement.
Very truly yours,
