The full complaint is there, but  basically, SuperSpeed (SS*) is claiming the Stack System (SS*)

• Stack System’s [sic] produces inflated metrics later used to, [sic] mislead and deceive consumers.
• Stack System’s marketing materials inflate apparent swing speed and distance gains through selective presentment of data without qualification that purported gains are not the result, in whole or part, of its training protocol and products.

* Yes, I'm joking about abbreviating both "SS."

SuperSpeed wants:

• A judgment that the Stack System has disseminated false and/or misleading information in violation of federal and Illinois law.
• The deletion of all false advertising distributed and recall of all packaging containing false advertising and a requirement that Stack System issue notices (written or otherwise) to that effect to all current distributors and retailers of its products and all distributors with whom Stack System has done business in the past eighteen months.
• Written confirmation within 30 days of an injunction detailing the manner and form in which Stack System has complied.
• An order that Stack System disseminate corrective advertising informing consumers, the trade, and the public of Stack System’s unlawful conduct.
• 3X all profits received by Stack System as a result of its unlawful actions.
• 3X all damages sustained by SuperSpeed (as a result of Stack System’s actions)
• The cost of the action
• All reasonable attorney fees
• All other relief to which SuperSpeed are entitled and such other or additional relief as just and proper.

Oy.

Why should SuperSpeed get 3x of Stack's profits?

I get the part about SuperSpeed wanting damages sustained as a result of Stack, but I don't get why SuperSpeed feels that they're entitled to both Stack's profits and damages.

 

Does anyone know/think SuperSpeed actually has a case here?

When has a lawsuit asked ONLY for what is realistically due?  Its not going to court, its going to be negotiated (probably), and in any negotiation you start with a lot more than you expect to get.
