ARCHIE,
Defendants.
Plaintiffs Guangzhou Huadu Hengyu Furniture Material Factory (“Huadu Hengyu”) and
Song Ke, by their undersigned attorneys, for their Complaint against Abundant Freedom, LLC and
Matthew Archie (collectively, “Defendants”), state as follows:
NATURE OF THE ACTION
1. Through inequitable conduct, Defendants improperly obtained a United States
design patent, D901,724 (the “‘724 Patent”) that claims a wedge-shaped ornamental design for
foam panels that was on sale and commonplace in the industry for more than a decade before the
application for the ‘724 Patent was filed. (A copy of the ‘724 Patent is attached hereto as Exhibit
1).
2. Even though Defendants, upon information and belief, knew that foam panels
bearing the design claimed in the ‘724 Patent were on sale and described in printed publications
for years prior to the ‘724 Patent’s priority date, Defendants failed to disclose this information to
the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) during the prosecution of the ‘724
Patent.
3. After obtaining the ‘724 Patent, the Defendants, upon information and belief,
knowing that the ‘724 Patent was invalid and unenforceable, began asserting the patent, against
their competitors by submitting notices of infringement on Amazon.com (“Amazon”), which
caused their competitors’ Amazon listings for acoustical panels being taken down, causing a
resultant loss of business.
4. Plaintiffs Huadu Hengyu, a manufacturer of acoustical foam panels Song Ke a
distributor of Huadu Hengyu’s acoustical foam panels, bring this action for a judgment declaring
that the ‘724 Patent is invalid and obtained by inequitable conduct, and to recover their damages
caused by the Defendants’ illegal conduct.

39. Upon information and belief, prior to filing the Application, Archie and Abundant

were described in printed publications such as the Auralex 2004 Catalog and the Auralex 2004
Website.
40. Upon information and belief, during the prosecution of the Application, Archie and

(Exhibit 3) and the YouTube Videos, all of which were published before August 23, 2018.
DEFENDANTS’ ILLEGAL CONDUCT
44. As demonstrated below, Defendants have engaged in course of conduct designed
to preclude certain Amazon marketplace sellers such as Song Ke from selling acoustic foam panels
bearing a wedge-shaped design by making false and defamatory allegations of intellectual property
infringement.
45. Upon information and belief, Defendants sell acoustic foam panels bearing a
wedge-shaped design on e-commerce platforms such as Amazon and eBay.
46. Upon information and belief, Defendants compete with Song Ke with respect to
sales of acoustic foam panels bearing a wedge-shaped design.
-8-
47. Upon information and belief, the purpose of the false complaints made by
Defendants was and is to injure competitors such as Song Ke by causing Amazon to take down
these sellers’ listings for acoustic foam panels bearing a wedge-shaped design and to otherwise
damage these sellers’ sales, reputation and goodwill.
48. Because the ‘724 Patent is unenforceable as it was obtained through inequitable
conduct and is otherwise invalid, Defendants have no legitimate intellectual property claim against
Song Ke.
49. It is well-known among intellectual property owners that Amazon has a policy of
acting on virtually any notice of intellectual property infringement, whether legitimate or not.
50. As one Amazon expert explained:
In order to meet a minimum liability standard, Amazon will act upon

properly submitted and completed notice claims of infringement.
They will notify specified marketplace sellers which party reported
them, on what listing, and how to reach that would-be rights owner
via email. The rest though, is up to you. And, unless you (and
possibly your legal team) can prove that the Notice claim is false,
Amazon considers it valid and actionable.
Unfortunately, word is out among potential Notice claim abusers

that anyone can submit a form. Amazon [is] not worried about
additional vetting or verification processes. Investigators merely
check the form for completed content in all the right spaces, kill the
listings and send off the notifications.
They don’t independently verify that any of the information is

actually correct, or valid. The rights owner makes a legally-binding
declaration in the form, and signs it.
See Chris McCabe, False Infringement Claims are Rife on Amazon, WebRetailer (Apr. 11,
2018), https://www.webretailer.com/lean-commerce/false-infringement-claims-amazon/
(emphasis added).
-9-
51. It is well known that once Amazon takes down an Amazon Marketplace seller’s
listing for alleged infringement, it is often very difficult if not impossible to have the listing
reinstated, even if the seller demonstrates to Amazon that the accused product is not infringing or
that the intellectual property owner lacks valid rights.
52. On the occasions that Amazon does reinstate a product listing, it can take Amazon
weeks to do so.
53. Upon information and belief, Defendants were, at all relevant times, aware of the
foregoing Amazon policy with respect to reports of intellectual property infringement.
54. Upon information and belief, Defendants were, at all relevant times, aware that
Amazon will act on reports that a product infringes a design patent, regardless of the truth of the
report.
55. Upon information and belief, Defendants were, at all relevant times, aware that
once Amazon takes down an Amazon Marketplace seller’s listing for alleged infringement, it is
often very difficult if not impossible to have the listing reinstated, even if the seller demonstrates
to Amazon that the accused product is not infringing or that the intellectual property owner lacks
valid rights.
56. Defendants filed or directed their agents to file complaints with Amazon which
alleged that Song Ke’s listings on Amazon for acoustic foam panels bearing a wedge-shaped
design infringed the ‘724 Patent.
57. On information and belief, at all relevant times, Defendants knew that such
allegations were false.
58. Each complaint submitted to Amazon by Defendants was signed under penalty of
perjury by Defendants or their agents.
- 10 -
59. For example, when submitting an infringement report to Amazon, an intellectual
property rights owner must read and accept the following statements:
I have a good faith belief that the content(s) described above

violate(s) my rights described above or those held by the rights
owner, and that the use of such content(s) is contrary to law.
I declare, under penalty of perjury, that the information contained in

this notification is correct and accurate and that I am the owner or
agent of the owner of the rights described above.
Report Infringement, https://www.amazon.com/report/infringement (last visited January 22,
2021).
60. On or about December 7, 2020, Defendants began filing complaints with Amazon
falsely claiming that the acoustic foam panels bearing a wedge-shaped design manufactured by
Huadu Hengyu and sold on Amazon by Huadu Hengyu’s distributors (the “Accused Products”)
infringed the ‘724 Patent.
61. These complaints caused Amazon to take down Song Ke’s listings for the Accused
Products, causing Song Ke to lose sales. In filing these complaints, Defendants attempted to hide
their identities by filing the complaints under the name “WILLIRICRIK U.S. Intellectual Property
Law Enforcement Group” and using the email address
USA_IntellectualPropertyTeam@WILLIRICRIK.com.
62. By letter dated December 8, 2020, Song Ke’s intellectual property counsel
informed Defendants that the ‘724 Patent was invalid in view of Auralex’s sales of “Auralex
Acoustics Studiofoam Wedges Acoustic Absorption Foam, 2" x 24" x 24", 12-Panels, Charcoal”
since July 16, 2004 and the description of acoustic foam panels bearing a wedge-shaped design on
Auralex’s website on June 10, 2004 and in its 2004 catalog and demanded that Defendants retract
their complaints.
- 11 -
63. After Defendants filed additional false and defamatory infringement complaints
against more of Huadu Hengyu’s distributors’ listings for acoustic foam panels bearing a wedge-
shaped design manufactured by Huadu Hengyu, Song Ke’s intellectual property counsel, on
December 8 and 9, 2020, sent emails to Defendants, again informing them that the ‘724 Patent
was invalid in view of Auralex’s sales of “Auralex Acoustics Studiofoam Wedges Acoustic
Absorption Foam, 2" x 24" x 24", 12-Panels, Charcoal” since July 16, 2004 and the description of
acoustic foam panels bearing a wedge-shaped design on Auralex’s website on June 10, 2004 and
in its 2004 catalog and demanded that Defendants retract their complaints.
64. Defendants never retracted their complaints or otherwise responded to Song Ke’s
intellectual property counsel’s correspondence.
65. In or about late early January 2021, after Song Ke demonstrated that the ‘724 Patent
was invalid, Amazon restored Song Ke’s listings for the Accused Products and, upon information
and belief, stopped processing infringement complaints filed by WILLIRICRIK U.S. Intellectual
Property Law Enforcement Group with an email address of
USA_IntellectualPropertyTeam@WILLIRICRIK.com.
66. On or about January 29, 2021, Defendants began filing with Amazon a new series
of false infringement complaints regarding the Accused Products, again claiming that the Accused
Products infringed the ‘724 Patent.
67. Because Amazon, upon information and belief, had stopped processing
Defendants’ infringement complaints asserting the invalid ‘724 Patent, Defendants, in an apparent
effort to deceive Amazon, filed these new complaints under the name of defendant Matthew Archie
and used an email address of AbundantFreedomLicensing@haynesboone.com.
- 12 -
68. Upon information and belief, Haynes and Boone is a law firm which website
address is www.haynesboone.com, and that law firm presumably receives emails directed to email
addresses bearing the suffix @haynesboone.com.
69. On February 1, 2021, Song Ke’s intellectual property counsel wrote to Defendant
at the AbundantFreedomLicensing@haynesboone.com email address and again explained why the
‘724 Patent was invalid and demanded that Defendants retract their complaints.
70. To date, neither Defendants nor their attorneys have responded to the February 1,
2021 email, nor have Defendants retracted their recent complaints.
71. In total, Defendants submitted at least ten complaints to Amazon regarding the
Accused Products sold on Amazon by Huadu Hengyu’s distributors, each resulting in the removal
of the distributor’s respective listings, including Song Ke’s listings for the Accused Products.
72. Upon information and belief, at all relevant times, Defendants have known that the
‘724 Patent is invalid and unenforceable.
73. On information and belief, Defendants’ defamatory allegations that the Accused
Products infringed the ‘724 Patent were knowingly false and made in bad faith with the intent to
damage competitors such as Song Ke.
74. As a result of the above false complaints, Song Ke’s Amazon listings relating to
Accused Products were taken down, resulting in an immediate loss of revenue and profits for Song
Ke.
75. As a result of the above false complaints regarding Song Ke and other sellers of the
Accused Products and resulting removal of their respective Amazon listings, Song Ke and other
Amazon sellers of the Accused Products significantly reduced or discontinued their purchases of
- 13 -
the Accused Products from Huadu Hengyu, resulting in a loss of revenue and profits for Huadu
Hengyu.
76. At no time has Song Ke infringed the ‘724 Patent.
77. On information and belief, Defendants knowingly made false intellectual property
rights complaints against Song Ke.
78. Upon information and belief, the true purpose of these complaints was to ensure
the removal of Song Ke’s Amazon Marketplace listings for the Accused Products, control pricing
and eliminate fair competition.

herein.
80. This claim arises under the patent laws of the United States, Title 35 United States
Code, and the Federal Declaratory Judgment Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2201, et seq.
81. There exists an actual and justiciable controversy between Plaintiffs and Defendant

assertion of the ‘724 Patent against Song Ke, both of which obtain the Accused Products from
Huadu Hengyu.
82. The ‘724 Patent is invalid for failure to comply with at least 35 U.S.C. § 102(a) in
view of, among other things, the sale of the Auralex Panel prior to August 23, 2018, the sale of
acoustic foam panels bearing a wedge-shaped design by the Other Amazon Sellers prior to August
23, 2018, and the description of the design claimed in the ‘724 Patent in Auralex’s 2004 catalog,
on the Auralex Website in 2004 and in the YouTube Prior Art (collectively, the “Prior Art).
- 14 -
83. In view of the foregoing, Plaintiffs are entitled to a judgment declaring that the ‘724

SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION

DECLARATORY JUDGMENT OF NON-INFRINGEMENT
AND UNENFORCEABILITY
herein.
85. This claim arises under the patent laws of the United States, Title 35 United States
Code, and the Federal Declaratory Judgment Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2201, et seq.
86. There exists an actual and justiciable controversy between Plaintiffs and defendant
Abundant Freedom with respect to the alleged enforceability of the ‘724 Patent due to the
Defendants’ assertion of the ‘724 Patent against Song Ke, both of which obtain the Accused
Products from Huadu Hengyu.
87. Upon information and belief, before and during the prosecution of the ‘724 Patent,
Defendants knew of at least some of the Prior Art.
88. During the prosecution of the ‘724 Patent, Defendants failed to disclose any of the
Prior Art to the USPTO.
89. Upon information and belief, Defendants failure to disclose the Prior Art to the
USPTO was intentional.
90. Upon information and belief, at all relevant times, Defendants knew that the Prior
Art was material because, alone and in combination, it rendered the design claimed in the ‘724
Patent unpatentable.
- 15 -
91. Upon information and belief, Defendants failed to disclose the Prior Art to the
USPTO with an intent to deceive because Defendants deliberately wanted to hide the fact that the
design claimed in the ‘724 Patent unpatentable in view of the Prior Art.
92. Upon information and belief, had the USPTO been aware of the Prior Art during
the prosecution of the ‘724 Patent, it would not have allowed the ‘724 Patent to issue.
93. Upon information and belief, because Defendants failed to disclose the Prior Art,
the USPTO allowed the ‘724 Patent to issue.
94. In view of the foregoing, Plaintiffs are entitled to a judgment declaring that the ‘724
Patent was obtained by inequitable conduct upon the USPTO and thus is unenforceable, and that

as a result, caused Amazon to remove Song Ke’s listings for the Accused Products.

Amazon to remove the listings for the Accused Products, resulted in Huadu Hengyu’s customers
who are Amazon sellers from ceasing or reducing the amount of their purchases of the Accused
Products from Huadu Hengyu.
103. Defendants submission of false infringement notices to Amazon concerning the
Accused Products constitute unfair trade practices under the New Mexico Unfair Business

Control Your Acoustic Space with Auralex Studiofoam Wedge Panels
Do you know what a bad-sounding room sounds like? Two common examples of bad-sounding rooms that you're probably familiar with are gymnasiums and
tiled bathrooms. The good news is that by implementing the proper acoustical treatments, you can make even the worst sounding room good enough to yield
world-class sound. Controlling reflections within a room yields truer sound and allows the "real" sound of an instrument, voice or loudspeaker to come through.
Auralex Studiofoam Wedge Panels provide efficient sound absorption, take care of standing waves and flutter echoes, and give your room a professional touch.
A box of 12 wedges can cover 48 square feet. You get industry-standard sound absorption when you use Auralex 2" Studiofoam Wedges. When used in
conjunction with Auralex LENRD or Venus Bass Traps or Sunburst Broadband Absorbers, can effectively tame the full frequency bandwidth in virtually any
room.

Answer: Outside sounds will enter your garage and the noise you make in your garage will be heard

outside. That's because acoustic foam does almost nothing to sound proof anything. That is not its

Question: Hello, is the shipping weight right?

0
Answer: 64 pounds?? No. It's foam. The box was big (2'x2'x2' or so), and the cardboard box probably

weighed more than the foam panels, but it only weighed a few pounds total.

Did a great job on canceling echo in my home studio.

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2018
Size: 2"x24"x24" - 12 Pack Color: Charcoal Verified Purchase
Worked great in my home studio that had a ton of echo & slapback. Mounting instruction of
these panels by the manufacturer will damage your walls considerably. Enough that you
may have to replace drywall if your not careful. I mounted them using removable 3M
Command strips for small pictures. I hot melted one strip to the foam panel in two places
and stuck the other side to the wall. They hold strong and can be removed easily without
any damage to the wall. The Command strips cost some money but way worth it.

It does the job of sound absorption - perfectly and looks great. Easy to install with Gorilla
Glue in a caulking gun - even if you glue the top to a thin board and nail-gun that into place.
This is my third box for my hobby room. I highly recommend. Hard to find purple.

Easy to install. Works like a charm.

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2013
Excellent stuff. We filled our recording studio with it: about 70% wall coverage. It's exactly
what we needed. Double-side foam tape works well for mounting. The Auralex tape worked
well, too (but not on the ceiling...)
