8
9 his principal place of business located at 20929 Ventura Blvd. Suite # 47-112 Woodland Hills,
10 California 91364, Los Angeles County. Defendant is engaged in the business of consultation,
11 brokerage and facilitation services in connection with the sale and purchase of liquor licenses.
12 4. Plaintiff is informed and believes and based thereon alleges that defendant has not filed a
13
fictitious statement for his business.
14
5. Plaintiff is ignorant of the true names and capacities of Defendants sued herein as Does 1

licenses since 1986, is widely recognized as one of the premier firms handling these matters in the
1
2 State of California and thorough out much of the United States.
3 8. Plaintiff has, through its vast experience, efforts and money developed a large amount of
4 goodwill in the business community dealing with and/or accommodating the sale and purchase of
5 liquor licenses. The business of consultation, brokerage and facilitation services in connection with
6
the sale and purchase of liquor licenses is a very unique niche business with only a small number of
7
firms offering the services offered by Plaintiff.
8
9 9. Plaintiff has spent a significant amount of time, money and effort to develop a the trade name
10 Liquor License Specialist and its comprehensive website, designated "Liquorlicense.com" for use,
11 whether by existing, returning or potential clients or shoppers that offers a variety of information
12 and services.
13

11. In connection with the business(es) as alleged in the preceding paragraph Bloom, at or about
16
17 the same time started websites under the domain names CALiquorLicense.com and

21
language and placement was designed so as to be confusingly similar and in some respects
22
identical to that of Plaintiff's.
23
". 13. Plaintiff became aware of Defendant's website through existing and potential clients which
111
,I: were either lead to Defendant's site by accident or because they believed that the site was
F
26 Plaintiff's or otherwise affiliated with Plaintiff's business. Additionally, Plaintiff maintains staff
27 which routinely monitors the placement of plaintiff's website in search engines and those of similar
28

companies. During such monitoring Blooms website came up, sometimes a site below or above
1
2 plaintiffs leading to further potential confusion to the clients or potential customers of the plaintiff.

5
6 14. Plaintiff refers to and incorporates herein paragraphs 1 through 13 of its complaint as though
8 15. Plaintiff is, and at all times mentioned herein has been, engaged in the business of consultation,
9
brokerage and facilitation services in connection with the sale and purchase ofliquor licenses.
10
16. Plaintiff has continuously done business under the corporate name Cirgadyne Incorporated and
11
trade name Liquor License Specialist since 1986. Plaintiff has built up valuable goodwill in this
12
13 trade name, and it has come to be associated exclusively with plaintiffs business by the public
15 advertisement and promotion in this State from 1986 to present; the sale of over thousands, if not
16 tens of thousands of liquor licenses in this State since 1986 and for thousands of clients during that
17
period.
18
17. Defendant, Bloom, operating under the business name(s) California, CA Liquor License
19
Specialists, Nationwide Liquor License Specialist, ABC Liquor License Specialist is engaged in
20
21 the business of consultation, brokerage and facilitation services in connection with the sale and
22 purchase ofliquor licenses located at 20929 Ventura Blvd. Suite # 47-112 Woodland Hills,
23 California 91364, Los Angeles County and is a direct competitor with plaintiff.
"l
:M
,i; 18. On or about June 8, 2009, defendant began doing business under the trade name(s) California
~ Liquor License Specialist, Nationwide Liquor License Specialist, ABC Liquor License Specialist.
26
Defendants trade name is substantially similar to that of plaintiff, and defendants use of that name
27
28 has and will continue to create a likelihood that plaintiffs customers, potential customers and the
4
COMPLAINT
I I ' .
public generally will be confused or misled as to the source of goods or services in that they are
I
2 likely to believe that defendant's business is identical to or affiliated with that of plaintiff.
4 similar to that of plaintiffs, Liquorlicense.com. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon
5 alleges that this was done with the specific intent to confuse plaintiff s current and potential
6
customers.
7
20. Defendants use of the above trade names along with the website has and will continue to create
8
9 a likelihood that plaintiffs customers, potential customers and the public generally will be
10 confused or misled as to the source of goods or services in that they are likely to believe that
12 21. Defendant threatens to and unless restrained will continue to use the trade names California
13
Liquor License Specialists, Nationwide Liquor License Specialists, ABC Liquor License
14
Specialists and the domain name CAliquorlicenses.com and a result the public generally and
15
persons in the liquor license industry will be mislead and deceived into believing that defendant's
16
17 business is identical to and/or affiliated with that of plaintiff, all to the irreparable injury of
18 plaintiffs business and goodwill and to the unjust enrichment of defendant. Plaintiff has no
19 adequate remedy at law in that it is extremely difficult to ascertain the amount of damages to
20 plaintiffs business and goodwill that may result presently or in the future.
21
22. On or about 1/30/1995, plaintiff filed the trade name Liquor License Specialists with the Los
22
Angeles County Recorder's Office and has maintained or otherwise renewed said trade name from
23
*
III
1/30/1995 to present.
II;
23. Defendant's continuing use of the confusingly similar trade name ABC Liquor License
f?
26 Specialists, California Liquor License Specialists, Nationwide Liquor License Specialists along
27
28
5
COMPLAINT
..
' ' "
1 with the use of CAliquorlicnse.com constitutes an infringement and violation of plaintiffs rights
3 24. Unless restrained by this Court, defendant threatens and will continue to use the trade name
7
25. Plaintiff refers to and incorporates herein paragraphs 1 through 24 of its complaint as though
8
9 fully set forth herein.
10 26. At all times mentioned herein defendant owned and operated a business of consultation,
11 brokerage and facilitation services in connection with the sale and purchase of liquor licenses
12 located at 20929 Ventura Blvd. Suite # 47-112 Woodland Hills, California 91364, Los Angeles
13
County. To the best of defendant's knowledge and on information and belief, at the time this
14
complaint was prepared, defendant had not filed any fictitious business name or was denied any
15
such filing due to the similarity to plaintiffs filed fictions business name in the County of Los
16
17 Angeles.
18 27. Plaintiff is informed and believes, and thereon alleges that beginning on or about June 8, 2009
19 and continuing to the present time, defendant was engaged in advertising to the public, including
20 current and former clients of plaintiff, and offering services in connection with the sale and
21
purchase of liquor licenses.
22
29. The defendant has engaged in the advertisement herein alleged with the intent to directly and/or
indirectly induce the public to enter into an obligations relating to the services described herein, to
27 include, but not be limited to, services in connection with the sale and purchase of liquor licenses.
28
6
COMPLAINT
, "
30. Defendant's advertising is nntrue or misleading and likely to deceive the public in that
1
2 defendant advertised as follows:
4 2) ABC Liquor License Specialists is the # 1 complete Liquor License Consulting Business in
5
the Nation.
6
3) Defendant is an expert dealing with the State of California's laws
7
4) Defendant, as a trainer of new investigators for ABC, not only knows the law-he taught it.
8
5) Defendant specializes in helping people secure, sell, transfer or surrender liquor licenses for
9
10 restaurants, nightclubs, bars, convenience stores and wholesalers throughout the nation.
11 Defendant's advertisements are materially misleading and false, and made with the intent to
18 that he is the number 1 consultant in the nation. In fact, plaintiff is informed and believes
19 that defendant does not operate or provide services outside of California except for very
20 limited, if any, services in Arizona and Alaska as shown on defendants website. In reality,
21
Plaintiff is one of the nation's most respected and trusted consultation firms, boasting
22
thousands of clients over its nearly 24 years of business operations and a reputation know
23
!I! throughout the industry as one of the premier consultant firms in California and the Nation.

11 not bestow a law degree or the right to practice law which is what essentially Defendant
19 helping people secure, sell, transfer or surrender liquor licenses for restaurants, nightclubs,
20 bars, convenience stores and wholesalers throughout the nation. Rather, defendant business
21
is primarily within this State and not nationwide as advertised.
22
31. In making and disseminating the statement(s) herein alleges, defendant knew, or by reasonable
23
Ii! care should have known, that the statements were untrue or misleading and so acted in violation of
f:4,
Business and Profession Code section 17500 and plaintiff believes that defendants, and each of
tf.
26 them, will continue to engage in untrue and misleading advertising as allege above unless restained
27 by this court.

1 32. Plaintiff has suffered injury in fact and has lost money as a result of the violations alleged in

5 As a proximate result of the above acts of defendant plaintiff has been deprived of actual and
6
potential clients, all to its damage in the sum to be proven at trial as well as treble damages under
7
the law.
8
9 39, The defendants acts hereinabove described are acts of unfair competition within the meaning of
10 B&P Code 17203, and plaintiff is informed and believes that the defendant will continue to do
12 40. This court is empowered by B&P Code 17203 to enjoin the illegal conduct of Defendant

FOURTH CAUSE OF ACTION
22 (Slander Against all Defendants)
~f 43. Plaintiff refers to and incorporates herein paragraphs 1 through 42 of its complaint as thou full
~ 44. Plaintiff is informed and believes, and thereon alleges that on or about June 8, 2009, and
26
continuing thereafter, defendants and each of them spoke the following words of and concerning

1
with defendants; that plaintiff overcharged clients; that plaintiff provided less than quality services
2 for clients.
3 45. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that the words were heard by some of

6
business, by imputing that plaintiff is associated with defendant; performs less quality work than
7
that of and is overcharging and therefore taking advantage of current and prospective clients.
8
9 47. The words were false because there is no association of any kind between Plaintiff and
10 defendant; and, defendant does not overcharge its client and provides high quality services.
11 48. These words carried a defamatory meaning because they tend to directly injure plaintiff in
12 respect to its profession, trade or business, either by imputing to it general disqualification in those
13
respects which the occupation peculiarly requires, and/or by imputing something with reference to
14
it's profession, trade, or business that has a natural tendency to lessen its profits.

INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO COMPLETE THE COVER SHEET
P~air;tiffs and Others Filing First Papers. If you are filing a first paper (for example, a complaint) in a civil case, you must
complete and file, along with your first paper, the Civil Case Cover Sheet contained on page 1. This information will be used to compile
CM010
statistics about the types and numbers of cases filed. You must complete items 1 through 6 on the sheet. In item 1, you must check
one box for the case type that best describes the case. If the case fits both a general and a more specific type of case listed in item 1,
check the more specific one. If the case has multiple causes of action, check the box that best indicates the primary cause of action.
To assist you in completing the sheet, examples of the cases that belong under each case type in item 1 are provided below. A cover
sheet must be filed only with your initial paper. Failure to file a cover sheet with the first paper filed in a civil case may subject a party,
its counsel, or both to sanctions under rules 2.30 and 3.220 of the California Rules of Court.
To Parties in Rule 3.740 Collections Cases. A "collections case" under rule 3.740 is defined as an action for recovery of money
owed in a sum stated to be certain that is not more than $25,000, exclusive of interest and attorney's fees, arising from a transaction in
which property, services, or money was acquired on credit. A collections case does not include an action seeking the folloWing: (1) tort
damages, (2) punitive damages, (3) recovery of real property, (4) recovery of personal property, or (5) a prejUdgment writ of
attachment. The identification of a case as a rule 3.740 collections case on this form means that it will be exempt from the general
time-for-service requirements and case management rules, unless a defendant files a responsive pleading. A rule 3.740 collections
case will be subject to the requirements for service and obtaining a judgment in rule 3.740.
To Parties in Complex Cases. In complex cases oniy, parties must also use the Civil Case Cover Sheet to designate whether the
case is complex. If a plaintiff believes the case is complex under rule 3.400 of the California Rules of Court, this must be indicated by
completing the appropriate boxes in items 1 and 2. If a plaintiff designates a case as complex, the cover sheet must be served with the
complaint on all parties to the action. A defendant may file and serve no later than the time of its first appearance a joinder in the
plaintiffs designation, a counter-<lesignation that the case is not complex, or, if the plaintiff has made no designation, a designation that
the case is complex. CASE TYPES AND EXAMPLES .
