IV. CLAIM FOR RELIEF
(Patent Infringement)
(35 U.S.C. 271)
13. Oakley repeats and re-alleges the allegations of paragraphs 1-12 of
this Complaint as if set forth fully herein.
14. This is a claim for patent infringement under 35 U.S.C. 271.
15. Stampede, through its agents, employees and servants, has, and
continues to, knowingly, intentionally and willfully directly infringe, engage in
acts of contributory infringement, and/or induce the infringement of the D323

and/or importing eyewear having a design that is covered by the claim of the
D323 Patent, including for example, the VidVision sunglasses video camera.
19. Defendants acts of infringement of the D323 Patent were
undertaken without permission or license from Oakley. Defendants had actual
and/or constructive knowledge of the D323 Patent, and their actions constitute
willful and intentional infringement of the D323 Patent. Defendants infringed
the D323 Patent with reckless disregard of Oakleys patent rights. Defendants
knew, or it was so obvious that Defendants should have known, that their
actions constituted infringement of the D323 Patent. Defendants acts of
infringement of the D323 Patent were not consistent with the standards of
commerce for their industry.

infringement, Defendants have derived and received gains, profits, and
advantages in an amount not presently known to Oakley.
21. Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 284, Oakley is entitled to damages for
Defendants infringing acts and treble damages together with interests and costs
as fixed by this Court.
22. Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 289, Oakley is entitled to Defendants total
profits from the sale of eyewear that infringe the D323 Patent.
23. Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 285, Oakley is entitled to reasonable
attorneys fees for the necessity of bringing this claim.
24. Due to the aforesaid infringing acts, Oakley has suffered great and
irreparable injury, for which Oakley has no adequate remedy at law.
25. Defendants will continue to directly and/or indirectly infringe the
D323 Patent to the great and irreparable injury of Oakley, unless enjoined by
this Court.
