Panavision owns several federally registered trademarks, including "Panavision" and "Panaflex," which it uses in connection with its theatrical motion picture and television camera and photographic equipment business.
P 15.) Panavision asserts, based on conversation with an attorney for American Standard, Inc., that Toeppen is also a defendant in trademark actions brought by American Standard, Inc. and Intermatic, Inc. because of Toeppen's registration of "americanstandard.com" and "intermatic.com" as domain names and subsequent demands for money to relinquish control of the names.
Finally, Toeppen has harmed Panavision, the brunt of which Panavision has borne in California, which Toeppen knew would likely happen because Panavision's principal place of business and the heart of the theatrical motion picture and television camera and photographic equipment business are in California.

The Panavision Super Panatar or "Gottschalk Lens" as it was known, utilized a variable-width prism that allowed theater owners to adjust the throw of the projected image to fit the size of their existing screen.
Panavision utilized its variable prism technology from the projection lens project and was able to eliminate the mumps completely, as well as adding greater sharpness and increased definition.
Panavision made some major improvements to these cameras, such as using a lightweight composite material to enclose the camera, designing an electronic crystal motor, and most importantly for that time, incorporating a reflex viewing system which allowed the operator to see exactly what the lens was seeing via a spinning mirror.

Panavision accuses Dennis Toeppen of being a "cyber pirate" who steals valuable trademarks and establishes domain names on the Internet using these trademarks to sell the domain names to the rightful trademark owners.
Panavision alleged that Toeppen was in the business of stealing trademarks, registering them as domain names on the Internet and then selling the domain names to the rightful trademark owners.
Toeppen knew Panavision would likely suffer harm there because, although at all relevant times Panavision was a Delaware limited partnership, its principal place of business was in California, and the heart of the theatrical motion picture and television industry is located there.

It was developed for TV work for all the guys who were used to shooting on Panavision 35 gear.
The only drawbacks were the "Panavised" Zeiss primes and zoom (8mm thru 135mm and 10-100 T2) which were re-shelled to fit the Panavision accessories, but were mechanically suspect.
Panavision did an excellent job of walking our AC through the camera, and they were very up-front about its minor shortcomings, which helped us to avoid pitfalls during our shoot.

In order to make it clear why Panavision was founded and by whom, one must inevitably look at the issues which preceded the creation of the company.

During this demonstration, Gottschalk stated that Panavision anamorphic lenses would soon be available for 35mm taking lenses, 16mm taking and projection lenses, 8mm taking and projection lenses, and a Panavision lens for still photography.

 Dennis Toeppen -- Summary Judgement
Panavision owns several federally registered  [**3]  trademarks, including "Panavision" and "Panaflex" (the "Panavision marks"), which it uses in connection  [*1299]  with its theatrical motion picture and television camera and photographic equipment business.
Therefore, in view of Panavision's purpose in bringing this litigation, it is unnecessary for the Court to reach the issues of federal and state trademark infringement and federal unfair competition.
Panavision claims that it is a third-party beneficiary because the representations and warranties that NSI requires of domain name applicants are made for the benefit of intellectual property owners such as Panavision.

Panavision's attorney contacted Toeppen by mail, informed him that Panavision owned the trademark, and told him to stop using it.
Panavision alleged claims for trademark dilution under the Federal Trademark Dilution Act of 1995 and under the California Anti-dilution statute.
Because Toeppen purposefully registered Panavision's trademarks as his own domain names intending to force Panavision to pay him, the Ninth Circuit agreed with the district court that the present case is similar to a torts case.

The two men realized that with 17,000 theaters each requiring two projection lenses to show the widescreen format, there was soon to be a huge demand for lenses, and Panavision was born.
Panavision cameras were immediately popular and used to film movie classics such as West Side Story and Lawrence of Arabia.
Most contemporary movies are shot using 35 millimeter lenses (and the images are blown up to 70mm) because 70 and 65 millimeter lenses are too cumbersome and expensive to use regularly.

 Widescreen Museum - The Super Panavision 70 wing 1
In addition to Super Technirama 70 and MGM Camera 65/Ultra Panavision, an out and out duplicate of the Todd-AO system was introduced by Panavision, Inc. Ultimately the process was named Super Panavision 70, but it was also referred to as Panavision 70, Super Panavision, Panavision, Process Lenses by Panavision, and Panavision Super 70.
It must be remembered, however, that Super Panavision came out of the development of the M-G-M Camera 65/Ultra Panavision 70 project and these systems were originally intended to be used, for the most part, to produce extremely high quality 35mm reduction general release prints.
In some of their publicity, Panavision referred to the sysem as Panavision 65, and that could be either the anamorphic or spherical version.

It may seem like ancient history now, but in 1999, director George Lucas threw out a volley to the film industry: he was going to shoot his next Star Wars movie digitally.
This special version of the camera (affectionately called the “Panavised” F900)* was a collaborative effort between Sony Electronics, Panavision and Lucasfilm, Ltd. Sony provided the professional high-definition digital camcorders under its CineAlta brand name.
Panavision supplied the new spherical lenses made specifically for them, and Lucasfilm broke them in during the production of "Clones." According to sources from Panavision, Lucas was pleased with the results of the camera system and not a single foot of 35mm footage was used during principal photography.

 Panavision International, L.P. v. Toeppen (1998)
In balancing the Burger King factors, we conclude that although some factors weigh in Toeppen's favor, he failed to present a compelling case that the district court's exercise of jurisdiction in California would be unreasonable.
Moreover, potential customers of Panavision will be discouraged if they cannot find its web page by typing in "Panavision.com," but instead are forced to wade through hundreds of web sites.
We conclude that Toeppen's registration of Panavision's trademarks as his domain names on the Internet diluted those marks within the meaning of the Federal Trademark Dilution Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(c), and the California Anti-dilution statute, Cal.Bus.
