IN THE STATE GOMBAK, MALAYSIA
CIVIL SUIT NO.: GBK-22IP-39-07/2020

BETWEEN

DAKA MARKET SDN BHD …PLAINTIFF


(COMPANY NO.: 20110134538(937437-A)

AND

AIKOL SHUPI SERVICE …DEFENDANT


(COMPANY NO.: 07123927P)

STATEMENT OF CLAIM

1. The Plaintiff is a licensed company incorporated in Malaysia with its registered


number of 20110134538(937437-A). The company’s registered address is at
Lot 312, Zon 2 Damai Budi, 56000, Alam Damai, Cheras, KL.

2. The main business of the plaintiff’s company since its establishment in 2009 is
the production of electrical and wiring systems which include the
manufacturing of ceiling, wall and table fans and water heater bearing the
plaintiff’s ‘DAKA’ trade mark. That ‘DAKA’ trademark registration no 09016273
has been in effect since 17 September 2009, and has since been renewed
until 17 September 2029.

3. The Defendant is a licensed company incorporated in Malaysia with its


registered number of 07123927P. The company’s registered address is at
No.3 Jalan LP 5/3, Lestari Perdana 5, 43300 Seri Kembangan, Selangor
Darul Ehsan.

4. The plaintiff’s pleads that to protect its business and trade interests, only
exclusive distributors and authorised dealers appointed by the plaintiff are
allowed to sell its products. The plaintiff thus regards any form of sale or
advertising to the public, any of the products bearing the DAKA trademark
without its permission, would tantamount to misuse and infringement of the
plaintiff’s exclusive rights over its trademark.

5. The plaintiff further pleads that only exclusive distributors and customers may
purchase the plaintiff's goods from authorised dealers the plaintiff has
designated. Thus, the plaintiff pleads that any type of public sale or
advertisement, any kind of products without its consent, products using the
DAKA trademark would be equivalent to misusing and violating the plaintiff's
sole ownership rights over its trademark.

6. The plaintiff also pleads that payments made by consumers of the plaintiff's
infringing products were made directly to the defendant, and that the
defendant's AIKOL Shupi platform and website both offered the plaintiff's
products for sale at a price much lower than that set by the plaintiff for its
authorised dealers and exclusive distributors.

7. The plaintiff further pleads that because its products are home electrical
appliances, extensive and demanding quality control is required to guarantee
the safety of those products when used by end users.

8. According to the plaintiff's interpretation of the defendant's terms of service,


the defendant directly supervises and exercises ultimate control over the
sellers, participates actively in the business dealings between the sellers and
the buyers using the defendant's AIKOL Shupi platform and/or website. It is
solely the defendant's responsibility to make sure that any goods offered for
sale on its platform adhere to the defendant's own terms and conditions
regarding intellectual property rights. The defendant had not met that
requirement.

9. The defendant continues to infringe on the plaintiff's trademark in spite of the


plaintiff's many notices and complaints.
10. The plaintiff pleads that it not only has the legal right to file a trademark
infringement lawsuit against counterfeit goods because it is the registered
trademark owner of the in question products carrying the DAKA trademark. It
is legally permitted to take legal action against those who have used its
registered brand without its authorization, permission, or licence. In addition, it
has the right to defend the exclusivity of its ownership of the trademark in
order to preserve and safeguard the fundamental qualities and distinctiveness
of the DAKA brand.

11.Wherefore the plaintiff claims the following relief against the defendant:
a. Monetary compensation of the sum of RM 2,000,000.00 from the illegal
profit the defendant had gained from the infringement marketing and
advertising the defendant conducted.

b. Prohibitory order to the defendant stopping and prohibiting them to


proceed with the mentioned activities relating to any of our plaintiff’s
registered trademark products in two (2) weeks.

c. Injunction against the defendant to prohibit the resellers in the


defendant’s platform from doing any transaction relating to plaintiff’s
registered trademark products in two (2) weeks.

Dated this 1st day of March 2020.
