Iced Head, Inc. v. Rock Taco, LLC, et a1.
Plaintiff Red I lead, Inc. ("RI.II") alleges on knowledge will] respect to its owl)
2 actions and those of" its attorneys and on information and belief with respect to all other matters as
3 follows:
d NATURE OFTHE' ACTION
5 1. Renowned rock musician Sammy I lagar has developed trademarks, trade dress and
6 other valuable intellectual property associated with the Cabo Wabo brand, which are used in
7 connection with restaurants, nightclubs, and merchandise. The Cabo Wabo brand is highly
8 ;distinctive and has achieved recognition with the consuming public as being associated with
9 premium duality goods and services. RI-11 licensed the Cabo Wabo trademarks and trade dress as
10 well as Sammy Ilagar's likeness and name to defendant Fresno Rock 'taco L,L,C ("Rock "haco") for
II use at the Fresno Cabo Wabo Cantina, developed, owned, and managed by defendant Rock "faco.
N 12 JThe Fresno Cabo Wabo Cantina is itself part of the Fresno Granite Park project being developed by
^ L
V- 0 13 defendant Rack Taco's principal, Milton I3arbis. Rock Taco has breached the license agreement (the
L
^ a
m 14 "License Agreement") by among other things failing to pay any royalties and refusing to provide
15 books and records necded to perform audits required by the license. The Fresno Cabo Wabo Cantina
16 is a disaster, as is the entire Granite Park development. The mismanagement by defendant and its
17 principal I3arbis, their failure to pay employees, vendors, lenders, and even the City of Fresno, and
18 the poor duality of the goods and services they have offered under the Cabo Wabo brand have
19 denigrated and continue to devalue the Cabo Wabo brand and the name and likeness of Sammy
20 Hagar with which the Cabo Wabo brand is inextricably associated. Defendant has diverted revenues
21 from the Fresno Cabo Wabo Cantina to other projects being developed by defendant's principal,
22 I3arbis, while refusing to pay royalties owed to RI-II. Defendant's conduct has caused a flood of
23 negative publicity about the Fresno Cabo Wabo Cantina and the development of which it is a part.
24 No later than November 6, 2008, RHI notified defendant that it was in breach of the license and that
25 it had seven days to cure its breaches. Defendant failed to do so. Accordingly, on November 14,
26 RHI notified defendant that the license was terminated and that defendant's right to use or display
27 any of the Cabo Wabo trademarks and trade dress, and the name and likeness of Sammy Hagar,
28 would terminate 30 days later, on December 14. In those 30 days and to date, defendant has taken

8 the style of a beach cantina , part of which is built to resemble the trademark Cabo Wabo lighthouse.
9 The ulterior and exterior of the restaurant is adorned with Sammy Hagar images and memorabilia,
i
10 The Cabo Wabo trade dress is inherently distinctive or had acquired secondary meaning prior to the
11 execution of the License Agreement.
12 17 The Cabo Wabo Marks licensed by RI-11 also include common law trademark rights
13 to the words, images and trade dress that it has diligently sought to protect as part of the Cabo Wabo

16 18. Plaintiff has the right to license the Cabo Wabo trademarks and trade dress under ail
17 agreement with the owner of the trademarks and trade dress, Cabo Wabo LI-C. The agreement also

13 on the one royalty check that defendants purported to provide to RHI, They have refused access to
14 necessary books and records to perform required audits. `fhey have denigrated and devalued the
5 Cabo Wabo Marks by their mismanagement, by providing poor quality goods and services, and by

2 cease use ofthe Cabo Wabo trademarks and trade dress or the namc and likeness o(Sannny }'lagar•.
f
3j 26. On December 10, 2008 RIII sent Rock Taco its terrnination r'eduiremcnts for
d. removing Cabo Wabo branding from the premises, returning property obtained from R HI, and
5 dismantling or converting; the trade dress. At one point, defendants claimed that they had sought a
6 permit to remove or change the Cabo Wabo lighthouse, a key element of the Cabe Wabo Marks.
7 RI-11 asked for evidence that defendants had sought or obtained the required permits. Defendants
8 refused.
9 27. On December 15, 2008, RHI confirmed Rock Taco that the 30 day period had
10 expired on December 14 and with it any right to display or use the Cabo Wabo Marks.
11 28, To date, Fresno Cabo Wabo continues to operate under the Cabo Wabo name, Rock
12 Taco has failed to remove virtually any of the signage, paint over the images of Sammy Hagar, or
13 obtain the building permits necessary to remove or change the structural aspects of the lighthouse.
I
........... 14 ^j Defendants continue to use and display the Cabo Wabo Marks.
15 29. Every day that the restaurant and night club operates under the Cabo Wabo brand
16 soils the name, reputation, and good will that the Cabo Wabo Marks have developed over the years,
a 17 Rock Taco's unauthorized use of the Cabo Wabo marks and trade dress, and Sammy I lagar's name
18 and likeness, irreparably harms the ability to maintain the distinction and value of its .marks, and
19 damages Sammy Hagar's reputation. The damage is particularly great because Sammy Hagar holds
20 his Fresno fans in high esteem, and Sammy Hagar and the Cabo Wabo Marks have long been popular
21 in the Fresno area. It will take a great deal of effort and time to restore that popularity in the Fresno
22 area, and it may not even be possible.

Changes are planned at Fresno's Cabo Wabo as the relationship between Milt Barbis, the
club's owner/developer, and chain founder Sammy Hagar continues to strain.
Cabo Wabo -- one of the cornerstones of Barbis' financially troubled Granite Park complex --
has stopped serving lunch and is now open only Tuesday-Saturday starting at 4 p.m.
Lindsey Ashjian, the publicist for Granite Park, said on Wednesday that more changes will
be announced next week, but she would not give specifics.
"There are some changes we'll be
announcing in due time," Ashjian said. "All
those changes will be wonderful for the
club, Weil have a little more freedom to do
the things that we are wanting to do."
This comes in response to rumors swirling
around Fresno 's music and entertainment
circles this week about the future of Cabo
Wabo -- most of them having to do with
the relationship between Barbis and
Hagar , and their agreement to license the
Cabo Wabo brand.
Ashjian denied rumors that Cabo Wabo is
closing this week, that Cabo Wabo Enterprises filed a cease-and-desist order against Barbis.
and that Hagar is suing Barbis.
"There's absolutely no lawsuit," Ashjian said. She said Cabo Waha is not closing and that
events are planned for later this week and even into January.
Sammy's son, Aaron Hagar, has performed and booked bands to play at Fresno's Cabo
Wabo. Asked whether he had any insight to offer, Aaron Hagar responded by e-mail: "I
certainly do, but unfortunately I cannot respond. It is a legal matter I suppose."
Representatives for Hagar and Cabo Wabo corporate would not comment.
Cabo Wabo opened in August after a few years in the works and much anticipation, it drew
big crowds upon opening, most notably for a free show by Hagar in October.
Around that time, Granite Park's financial troubles were brought to light. Despite the crowds
at Cabo Wabo and its nearby restaurants, the Granite Park development as a whole had
mounting bills, had a city-backed $5.5 million loan that hadn't been paid in a year and faced
the possibility of foreclosure.
Barbis, at the time, cited a lack of financing but said he had things under control.
"Things may go slow, but, in the end, I come through," he said in October.
In November, Barbis' relationship with Hagar saw its first public fracture, when the ex-Vail
Halen rocker issued this statement:
"I want to be very clear on one point -- the Cabo Wabo Cantina in Fresno is not owned or
run by me or anyone associated with the Cabo Wabo organization...."
"Through our licensing agreement, I have granted the use of the Cabo Wabo name and
logo, as well as my name and image to Fresno Rock Taco, LLC. If Mr. Barbis cannot meet
the established guidelines for use of those trademarks, I am well within my rights to cancel
the contract with his company."
While the drama brews, Cabo Wabo is trying to bulk up its evening entertainment options. it
recently started a weekly Thursday night showcase for local bands. Tonight's show will
include Suppressors, DB & The Struggle and More Than Without.
Ashjian also confirmed upcoming blues concerts with Tommy Castro (Jan. 8) and Elvin
Bishop (Jan. 22).

"Cabo Wabo isn't going anywhere," Ashjian said. "Just making a few changes."

I feel the recent reviews of Cabo VVabo have been slightly harsh, considering the restaoranl is still

Fresno, GA Franchise or not, the menu was ratered for?be Fresno market... I have been to the one in
wleXiee.
1. for one, had a very pleasant experience here. The food is incredible . It is NOT Tike anything else
you can get in Fresno and that's what makes it special. It's authentic, but in a gourmet way. I also
ordered the Lock 13ox Tacos , which for those %Oo don't know are Mexican Street Tacos... they are
Supposed to be small , yet highly concentrated in protein, making them very satisfying. The taste
was unreal . In a country filiod with a growi ng obesity problem, have we forgotten what real
portions actually look Iik077
I tiwdt admit, it did take 'p"Ihi€e or me to get my dunks as ive!€. Ii(Yvever, the next time I went to

I'm sort of confuscd about some of the negative reviews about this place, especially when it corner

F,msno. CA for dinner, and a few times later in ills evening to enjoy the hand. The food service portion of Cabo
Waho is average. They are no longer serving ketch and now open at 4pm. As for the actual
foacl...the meals are ok- and are priced in thf; wid range. It's nothing to write )tome about. although
some of the appelizers :are eluite. Uocd. if Caabo 4Vatx) was Just a reslaurrsnt, I would probably only
