and trade name (collectively, the GE Trademark) in connection with the marketing and
sale of modified and used turbine control systems and services that GTC is falsely

GTC and/or its agents have their U.S. headquarters in New York and have advertised and
sold and shipped their infringing products from New York and this District.

affixes to the refurbished GTC products to make them look like new GE products.
46. Upon information and belief, GTC at times places these plates or labels
over parts of GTCs used control consoles or boards to cover damage, including burns or
scratched areas, in order to conceal the fact that the parts are used.

customers, and the general public, harm to the extent GTCs products and services do not
meet the necessary quality control standards used by GE or to the extent GTCs
deception causes a customer to use a defective control board or control board that is
different from the control board the customer actually needs to safely control and operate
its turbines and the subsequent failure of the control board causes a gas turbine to fail.

will continue, and they will continue to cause irreparable injury to GE and to the public

from GEs vast goodwill and reputation and to confuse and mislead the public.
