c. engaging in any acts of trademark infringement, false designation of origin, dilution, unfair competition, design patent infringement, or other act which would tend damage or injure Plaintiffs; and/or

d. using any Internet domain name or website that includes any of Plaintiffs' trademarks or design patents, including but not limited to the BMW® and M® marks and/or design patents D515,491, D635,078, and D643,794.
