    and sell tickets for a martial arts tournament in interstate commerce and within this judicial

    district under the name AMERICAN OPEN MARTIAL ARTS CHAMPIONSHIPS.

    7. Upon information and belief, the acts of Defendants set forth herein constitute trademark

    infringement, false designation of origin and false advertising under Federal law and unfair

    Defendants have and continue to commit torts within this State and judicial district.

    8. Venue is proper in this district under 28 U.S.C. 1391.

    FACTS COMMON TO ALL COUNTS

    9. Since at least as early as January 1975, Grandmaster S. Henry Cho has used the trademark

    ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO KUNG FU CHAMPIONSHIPS in connection with

    the advertising, promotion and operation of a martial arts tournaments in interstate

    commerce, and the sale of merchandise, competition and spectator tickets in interstate

    commerce, and in particular, in connection with martial arts competitions.

    10. Grandmaster S. Henry Cho is the owner of U.S. Trademark Registration No. 3,015,207 for

    the mark ALLAMERICAN OPEN KARATETAE KWON DO KUNG FU CHAMPIONSHIPS for use in

    connection with organizing and conducting martial arts competitions in International Class

  • 41. Registration No. 3,015,207 is valid and subsisting and has become incontestable

    pursuant to Sections 8 and 15 of the Trademark Act, 15 U.S.C. 1058,1065. Acopy of U.S.

    Registration No. 3,015,207 for the mark ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO KUNG

    FU CHAMPIONSHIPS and a current status report are attached hereto as Exhibit 2.

    11. Grandmaster S. Henry Cho's ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO KUNG FU

    CHAMPIONSHIPS tournament has been advertised and promoted nationwide and within this

    judicial district in the martial arts community for 49 years. The 50th anniversary

    presentation of this tournament is scheduled for March 7, 2015 and is being advertised on

    line at Grandmaster S. Henry Cho's website which is accessible through the URL

    www.henrycho.com under the "Tournament" tab. Pages printed from the website about

    the Tournament are attached hereto at Exhibit 3. Copies of literature including Invitation

    Letters, competition registration forms and additional information that were also mailed to

    martial arts instructors and schools are attached hereto at Exhibit 4.

    12. Grandmaster S. Henry Cho had the foresight to create, design, and promote the ALL

    AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO KUNG FU CHAMPIONSHIPS tournament as an

    "open" tournament with competition rules designed so that one style of martial arts would

    NOT have an advantage over any other style during the competition.

    13. The ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO KUNGFU CHAMPIONSHIPS tournament

    was held in Madison Square Garden's Felt Forum for 25 years and is a rock bed of American

    Martial Arts history, where Bruce Lee met Chuck Norris for the first time. Many well-known

    martial artists have competed in the ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO FUNG FU

    CHAMPIONSHIPS tournament including, but not limited to, Thomas LaPuppet, Chuck Norris,

    Michael Warren, William Oliver,Gerald Robbins, Tony Blanchard, and RubyCamacho.

  • 14. Since its inception, tens of thousands of martial arts competitors and students have

    participated in the ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO KUNG FU CHAMPIONSHIP

    tournament.

    15. As a result of its 50 year history and the efforts of Grandmaster S. Henry Cho to promote

    and advertise the Tournament, the trademark ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO

    KUNGU CHAMPIONSHIPS has developed significant secondary meaning and goodwill such

    that members of the Tae Kwon Do, Karate and Kung-Fu communities have come to

    associate the trademark ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO KUNG FU

    CHAMPIONSHIPS with Grandmaster S. Henry Cho exclusively. The Estate has continued to

    run, promote, advertise and oversee the ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO

    KUNG FU CHAMPIONSHIPS tournament according to the teachings, rules and ethics

    established by Grandmaster S. Henry Cho in order to maintain and increase the goodwill and

    secondary meaning associated with the trademark ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON

    DO KUNGFU CHAMPIONSHIPS.

    16. David Moradi is a former student of Grandmaster Cho who, upon information and belief,

    joined Grandmaster S. Henry Cho's Tae Kwon Do school as a 2nd degree black belt from

    another instructor, and started training with Grandmaster Cho in the late 1990's.

    17. On November 4, 2005, Grandmaster Cho and Defendants entered into a trademark license

    pertaining to the Defendants' use of the ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO KUNG

    FU CHAMPIONSHIPS. Acopy of the November 4, 2005 trademark license (the "Trademark

    License") is attached as Exhibit 5. Financial information has been redacted from the

    Trademark License as it is not relevant at this time and confidential.

  • 18. Defendants breached the terms of the Trademark License, which was terminated on

    February 10, 2014. A copy of the February 10, 2014 termination letter is attached as Exhibit

    6.

    19. The February 10, 2014 termination letter requested a detailed accounting of the income

    and expenses for the years 2009-2013. Defendants failed to respond to the February 10,

    2014 letter and to date have failed to provide the financial information requested therein.

    20. After termination of the Trademark Licenseon February 10, 2014, the Estate appointed a

    new licensee and continued the tradition of the ALLAMERICAN OPEN KARATETAE KWON

    DO KUNG FU CHAMPIONS tournament by hosting the 49th annual event on March 15, 2014

    at Long Island University's Brooklyn Campus.

    21. Upon information and belief, in late February and early March of 2014, Defendants made

    false statements to the martial arts community falsely alleging that the March 15, 2014

    event was cancelled when, in fact, the 49th annual tournament was held as scheduled.

    22. Upon information and belief, on or about March 5, 2014, Defendants organized and

    participated in a boycott of the March 15, 2014 event as evidenced by Michael Miller, an

    associate of Defendants posting the following on Facebook: "many of us are boycotting the

    event Saturday March 15th and won't return if it continues afterwards " Acopy of the

    Facebook posting is attached as Exhibit 7. These actions harmed the Estate and the goodwill

    associated with the mark ALLAMERICAN OPEN KARATETAE KWON DO KUNG FU

    CHAMPIONSHIPS.

    23. The 50th Anniversary ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO KUNGFU

    CHAMPIONSHIPS tournament is scheduled for March 7, 2015 at Long Island University's

    Brooklyn Campus.

  • 24. Upon information and belief, Defendants deliberately scheduled a competing martial arts

    tournament on February 28, 2015 exactly one week before the 50th anniversary ALL

    AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO KUNG FU CHAMPIONSHIPS tournament. Upon

    information and belief, Defendants' competing martial arts tournament is being called the

    AMERICAN OPEN MARTIAL ARTS CHAMPIONSHIP the tournament ("Infringing

    Tournament"). Attached hereto at Exhibit8 is a page from Defendants' website at

    www.westchestertkd.com website showing Defendants' sponsorship and advertisement of

    the "Infringing Tournament".

    25. Upon information and belief, the selection of the name AMERICAN OPEN MARTIAL ARTS

    CHAMPIONSHIP for the InfringingTournament was made intentionally and with full

    knowledge of Grandmaster Cho's rights in the mark ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE

    KWON DO KUNG FU CHAMPIONSHIPS.

    26. Upon information and belief, Defendants intentionally and with intent to trade on the good

    will and fame of the trademark ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO KUNG FU

    CHAMPIONSHIPS, have used social media to create the false impression that the Infringing

    Tournament is the ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO KUNG FU CHAMPIONSHIPS

    tournament, or is approved or sponsored by Grandmaster S. Henry Cho.

    27. Upon information and belief, Helen Crowell, another associate of Defendants, made and

    continues to make the following false claims on Facebook. "[C]ome join me at the OPEN

    MARTIAL ARTS Tournament on Sat. Feb. 28, 2015 Gaucho Gym, 478 Gerard Ave, Bronx NY

    10451. Master David Moradi is doing what our great Grandmaster S. Henry Cho would want

    .... Keeping our martial arts family together! I'll be remembering that this would be our

    Grandmaster's 50th yr and celebrate all that he passed on to me/ us!!! Message Master

  • Moradi for all the details. I hope to see you all there!!!! OUS!!!!" Atrue and correct print

    out of this Facebook posting is attached as Exhibit 9.

    28. Upon information and belief, Bill Dewart, another associate of Defendants, made and

    continues to make the following false claims on Facebook stating "... am looking forward to

    being there to support Master Moradi as he continues in the footsteps of GM Cho. Iwill

    look forward to seeing you and Master Lemon on February 28th. See Exhibit 9.

    29. Defendants Westchester Academy and David Moradi were and continue to be well aware of

    Grandmaster S. Henry Cho's trademark rights in the ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE

    KWON DO KUNG FU CHAMPIONSHIPS Trademark since they were a former licensee.

    30. At no time did Grandmaster S. Henry Cho or the Estate authorize or consent to Defendant's

    use of the mark ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO KUNG FU CHAMPIONSHIPS in

    connection with the Infringing Tournament.

    31. Upon information and belief, Defendants' continued unauthorized use in interstate

    commerce of the mark AMERICAN OPEN MARTIALARTS CHAMPIONSHIPS for a martial arts

    tournament has caused and is likelyto continue to cause the purchasing public and others

    to mistakenly believe that Defendants' February 28, 2015 martial arts tournament is

    associated with, sponsored or approved by Grandmaster S. Henry Cho or the Estate when

    they are not.

    32. The unauthorized acts of Defendants alleged herein have resulted in damage and

    irreparable harm to Grandmaster S. Henry Cho and the ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE

    KWON DO KUNG FU CHAMPIONSHIPS Trademark and goodwill. Unless enjoined by this

    Court, Defendants will continue their unlawful activities and continue to damage and

    irreparably harm the ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO KUNG FU

    CHAMPIONSHIPS Trademark and goodwill.

  • 33. Grandmaster S. Henry Cho and the Estate have no adequate remedy at law.

    COUNT I

    INFRINGEMENT OF FEDERALLY REGISTERED TRADEMARKS UNDERSECTION 32 OF THE TRADEMARK ACT

    34. The Estate repeats and realleges each of the allegations contained in paragraphs 1-33 above

    as if fully set forth herein.

    35. Defendants' unlawful activities complained of herein have caused and are likely to continue

    to cause actual confusion, such that consumers are likelyto mistakenly believe that the

    Infringing Tournament advertised and promoted by Defendants are authorized, sponsored

    by or otherwise associated with Grandmaster S. HenryCho or the Estate when they are not.

    Re: November 4,2005 License Agreement

    Dear David:

    We are hereby providing you with notice ofyour breach ofthe November 4,2005 licenseagreement between Westchester Tae Kwon Do Academy, inc., and SHC Associates, Inc. (hereinafterreferred toas the"AAO Agreement") and, on behalf ofthe Estate ofSihak Henry Cho, we terminate alllicenses and rights granted in the AAO Agreement.

    As we previously mentioned in our January 15, 2014 letter to you, we are in receipt ofa check ithe amount of$ 495.00 made out to Myung Sook Cho purportedly for10 percent ofthe net proceedsfrom the March 16,2013 All American Open Karate tae Kwon Do Kung-Fu Tournament (hereinafter"2013 All American Open"). We arealso in receipt ofthe copies ofthe Entry Blanks from the 2013 AllAmerican Open which you hand-delivered to Kenneth Cho onJanuary 17,2014inPuerto Rico. We notethat all these actions evidenceyour continuedacknowledgement and acceptance of yourongoingobligations under the AAO Agreement.

    We understand from your All American Open Settlement Letter (postmarked November27,2013) that you claim that the net profit from the 2013 All American Open was$ 4,950.25. This net profitamount issignificantly lowerthan previous yearsand is lessthan 50 percent of the net profits whenthetournament was run at Manhattan or Queens College. The numbers that you provided don't makesense basedon the 48 year history of this tournament. Weare not able to reconcile the fact that whileyou have a lower expense profile running the tournament at LIU's Brooklyn Campus (no rental fee to usethe gym), more net profit was made when the tournament was held at Manhattan College (Draddy Gymwith a gym rental fee of around$ 5,000) witha higher expenseprofile. We are unable to ascertainwhether this decrease in net profits isa result of underreportingor mismanagementof the All AmericanOpen. We formally request an accounting of all the income and expenses (in more detail thanpreviously provided inyour AAO Settlement letter) for the last five years, 2009- 2013,of the AllAmerican Open tournaments.

    Yourfailure to hold the tournament at a more high-profile venue (like Manhattan or QueensCollege), the continued erosion of profitsand your mismanagement of the All American Open are

    in

  • Behdad David MoradiFebruary 10,2014Page 2 of 3

    damaging Grandmaster Cho's reputation and damaging the goodwillassociated with the trademark ALLAMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAEKWON DO KUNG-FU CHAMPIONSHIPS.

    Furthermore, your breach of the June 22,2004 agreement between Westchester Tae Kwon DoAcademy, Inc. and SHC Associates, Inc. (the "GradePromotion Agreement"), as outlined inour letter ofJanuary 30, 2014, hasalsodamaged the reputation ofour latefather. Grandmaster S. Henry Cho and S.Henry Cho Tae Kwon Do; and the goodwill inthe All American Opentournament and trademark whichourfather actively promotedfor morethan 4 decades. More specifically, with respect to at least theOctober13,2012 and October27,2013 Grade Promotion Tests,you misled GrandmasterGiordano andMasters Schiff, Kimmel and Arteri intoconvening S.Henry Cho Tae Kwon Do Grade Promotion/testcommittees, misused the resources of S.Henry TaeKwon Do and failed to submitthe appropriatedocumentation andfees. Such actions are damaging our father's reputation and the goodwill that isassociated with the ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO KUNG FU CHAMPIONSHIPS trademarkand tournament in a very public way in frontofyour students andthe studentsof Grandmaster S. HenryCho. These actions are notconsistent with being a martial artistandstudentofGrandmaster S. HenryCho.

    You havefailed to comply with paragraph 5 of the AAO Agreement, which requiresyoutouphold the goodwill and intangibles associated with the All American Open and the reputation of S.Henry Cho, and "... upholdthese values,traditions and good sportsmanship." Part of the values ofGrandmasterCho and hisreputation isthat a student remainsa student ingood standingwithGrandmaster Cho andSHC Associates. This important ethical tenet iseven reinforced inyourblack beltagreement which you executed in 2009, and which all black belts inS. Henry Cho Tae Kwon Do honor.However, onJanuary 17and 18,2014, you admitted and acknowledged your breach ofparagraphs 10-13 and 16oftheGrade Promotion Agreement by intentionally testing, promoting and issuing your owndiplomas toyour students without theknowledge orconsent ofSHC Associates, Inc., S. Henry Cho'sestate orheirs. You have openly and expressly declared in front ofmasters and students ofS. Henry ChoTae Kwon Do thatyou have not been and will not remain astudent in good standing with S. Henry ChoTae Kwon Do.

    We have attached a copy ofanInformation Sheet for the2014 All American Open and note thatit is being presented by the AAO Committee of Way ofAction, Inc. Please be advised that Way of Action,Inc. is not licensed to use the mark ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO KUNG FUCHAMPIONSHIPS and the Estate did not give Way ofAction, Inc. permission touse the mark, if youhave licensed orgiven Way ofAction, Inc. permission to use the mark ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAEKWON DO KUNG FU CHAMPIONSHIPS, then you are also in breach ofparagraph 14ofthe AAOAgreement by attempting to transfer"... rights orobligations under [the AAO Agreement] without theprior written consent ofGrandmaster S. Henry Cho" for the2014 All American Open Tournament. Yourattempt to openly advertise that "Way ofAction, Inc." is promoting the March 15, 2014 tournament isan attempt toeither sublicense ortransfer rights orobligations, orboth, under the AAO Agreement, aright which you do not have under the AAO Agreement.
