("5.11") of Modesto, California. 5.1 develops, manufactures and sells innovative tactical clothing, footwear, and accessories for law enforcement, fire, public safety, and the military. Among 5.11's most valuable trademarks is A.T.A.C. currently used in association with tactical boots and gloves, AT.A.C. is one of 5.11's core brands prominently featured and promoted in 5.11's catalogs, on the company’s website, and in the marketing and sales materials of 5.11’s extensive network of dealers and retailers. 5.11 continues to grow and expand the trademark, both in terms of public recognition and identification, as well as the array of tactical products associated with the mark. 5.11 is the owner of U.S. Trademark Registration No. 3,173,444 for A.T.A.C. for footwear; boots in Intemational Class 25. 5.11 has used and promoted the A.T.A.C. trademark continuously since as early as December 2004. As a result 5.11’s efforts the A.T.A.C. trademark and the products associated with the mark have an excellent reputation and earned significant goodwill. The A.T.A.C. trademark is an important and valuable asset of the company. Ithas come to 5.11's attention that Digital Concealment Systems and its licensees, Propper International, Danner, Inc., Tactical Assault Gear, and Blue Force Gear are, or will be, advertising, promoting, offering for sale and selling Army Combat Uniforms (ACUs), tactical boots, packs, and gun slings prominently featuring the trademark A-TACS. Use by Digital Concealment Systems and its licensees of a mark substantially identical to 5.11’s A-T.A.C. trademark in association with tactical clothing, footwear, and accessories that directly compete with 5.11’s tactical clothing, footwear, and accessories and are directed to the same consumers for the same purposes throught the same channels of trade will cause confusion, deception, or mistake among purchasers. As a result of the similarity of the marks and the use of those ‘marks on substantially identical products, purchasers will mistakenly believe that the tactical clothing, footwear, and accessories co-branded with the A-TACS trademark are in some manner related to, associated with, approved by, or come from 5.11. This likelihood of confusion, deception or mistake gives rise to liability for trademark infringement and unfair competition for Digital Concealment Systems and its licensees. ‘The remedies for trademark infringement and unfair competition may include, among other things, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief: the destruction of the products bearing the infringing trademark; the recovery of profits and damages from the sale of products featuring the infringing mark, WWW.5TITACTICAL.COM THE CHOICE OF FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENTand where the infringement is willful, enhanced damages and payment of 5.L1's attorneys" fees incurred in enforcing its rights. 5.11 would prefer to resolve this matter amicably. In order to achieve this objective we require written assurances from Digital Concealment Systems that it and its licensees will: (@)_ immediately stop manufacturing, causing to be manufactured, advertising, promoting, marketing, distributing, offering for sale, of selling uniforms, hats, shirts, boots, packs, gun slings or any other clothing, accessories, or products for law enforcement, the military, fire service, or public safety professionals using the trademark A-TACS or any variation of thereof; and () not again in the future manufacture, cause to be manufactured, advertise, promote, market, distribute, offer for sale or sell any uniforms, hats, shirts, boots, packs, gun slings or other clothing, accessories, or products for law enforcement, the military, fire service, or public safety professionals using the trademark A-TACS or any variation of thereof. As the owners of valuable trademarks, we expect Digital Concealment Systems and its licensees can understand and appreciate 5.11’s need to protect its rights and the valuable goodwill and reputation associated with its A.T.A.C. trademark. Continued use of the A~TACS trademark will cause irreparable injury and significant damage to 5.11. Therefore, we require the requested written assurances as soon as possible and no later than Friday, February 25, 2011. This letter is written without waiver of 5.11, Inc.’s rights and remedies, all of which rights and remedies are expressly reserved. You are hereby on notice of your obligation under federal and state law to preserve all documents and other information relevant to the subject matter of this dispute, including without limitation electronically stored information.
