`COMPLAINT FOR TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT FALSE DESIGNATION OF
`
`ORIGIN UNFAIR COMPETITION BREACH OF SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
`
`CANCELLATION OF FLORIDA STATE TRADEMARK/SERVICE MARK
`
`REGISTRATIONS AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
`
`PlaintiffANTHONY P. SCHMIDT, JR, (hereinafter “Plaintiff” or “Schmidt”), by his
`
`attorney, as and for his Complaint, sues Defendants VERSACOMP, INC. d/b/a TNT LIFT
`
`SYSTEMS, a Florida corporation; and RICHARD ULRICH (collectively “Defendants”), and alleges
`
`and avers as follows:
`
`JURISDICTION AND VENUE
`
`1 .
`
`This is a complaint for federal trademark infringement, and false designation oforigin arising
`
`under §§ 32 and 43 of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1114(1) and 1 125(a), respectively, for Florida
`
`unfair competition, for breach of a settlement agreement, and for cancellation of two Florida
`
`Department of State trademark/service mark registrations.
`
`2.
`
`This Court has original subject matter jurisdiction over this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §
`
`l338(a) and 15 U.S.C. § 1 121. This Court has related supplemental claim jurisdiction over the state
`
`

`
`
`
`law claims pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1338(b) and 28 U.S.C. § 1367. This court has retained subject
`
`matter jurisdiction over the breach of settlement agreement claim by virtue of its Order [DE 59] in
`
`Schmidt v. Versacomp, et al., Case No. 05-61593-CIV—JORDAN.
`
`3.
`
`Venue is proper in this district under 28 U.S.C. §139l(b) and (c) because a substantial part
`
`of the events or omissions giving rise to the claims occurred and occur in this district, and the
`
`Defendants regularly conduct business in this district.
`
`THE PARTIES
`
`4.
`
`The Plaintiff, ANTHONY P. SCHMIDT, JR., is an individual domiciled in the state of
`
`Michigan and a resident of the state of Florida, and is a citizen of the United States of America.
`
`5.
`
`The Defendant, VERSACOMP, INC. d/b/a TNT LIFT SYSTEMS, is a corporation organized
`
`under the laws of the state of Florida, with a principal place of business address in Ft. Lauderdale,
`
`Florida. Upon information and belief, Versacomp, Inc. is engaged in the business of manufacturing
`
`and selling marine accessories, including boat lifting devices, throughout the United States including
`
`this district.
`
`6.
`
`The Defendant, RICHARD ULRICH, upon information and belief,
`
`is the president, a
`
`director, and the majority shareholder of Defendant Versacomp, Inc.
`
`FACTUAL BACKGROUND
`
`7.
`
`8.
`
`Schmidt is an entrepreneur and inventor.
`
`Schmidt is the owner of all substantial right, title and interest in and to a number of United
`
`States patents, including, but not limited to U.S. Pat. No. 5,544,606 (“the ‘606 patent”) which issued
`
`on April 13, 1996. The ‘606 patent is directed to a vehicle lift for a boat. More specifically, the lift
`
`is attached to the transom of a large boat or yacht and is power operated to raise or lower a lift
`
`

`
`
`
`platform into and out of the water. The lift is used as a swim platform, or a platform onto which a
`
`personal water craft or dinghy is secured.
`
`9.
`
`Prior to the invention ofthe ‘606 patented device, Schmidt, in 1988, incorporated a business
`
`in Florida, with a principal place ofbusiness located in this district, for the purpose ofmanufacturing
`
`and selling boat lifting devices. This company was called TNT MARINE ENTERPRISES, INC.
`
`In 1994, Schmidt continued manufacturing and selling boat lifting devices under the corporate name
`
`and service mark TNT MARINE EQUIPMENT, INC.
`
`In 2000, Schmidt sold TNT MARINE
`
`EQUIPMENT, INC. to a third party, and retained a security interest in his patents, including the ‘606
`
`patent. The third party continued to operate TNT MARINE EQUIPMENT, INC. as a manufacturer
`
`and seller ofboat lifting devices. In 2000, the third party defaulted, and in 2005, Schmidt ultimately
`
`recovered ownership in his patents, including the ‘606 patent, and also recovered the right to sue for
`
`past infringements thereof.
`
`10.
`
`In 2001, VERSACOMP, at the direction of ULRICH, began doing business as TNT LIFT
`
`SYSTEMS. The Defendants, as TNT LIFT SYSTEMS, began manufacturing and selling boat lifting
`
`devices referred to as TNT lifts or TNT LIFT SYSTEMS. At the time the Defendants adopted the
`
`TNT and TNT LIFT SYSTEMS marks, they knew that Schmidt’s buyer, the third party, was still
`
`actively using Schmidt’s TNT mark on boat lifting devices.
`
`11.
`
`In 2005, Schmidt alleged that the Defendants infringed the ‘606 patent. Schmidt enforced
`
`the ‘606 patent by bringing suit for patent infringement against the Defendants before this court in
`
`Schmidt v. Versacomp, et al., Case No. 05-61593-CIV-JORDAN (“Schmidt 1”). Schmidt I was
`
`resolved by settlement agreement. Exhibit A. The court retained jurisdiction to enforce the terms
`
`

`
`
`
`of the settlement agreement. Exhibit B.
`
`12.
`
`In March, 2006, Schmidt recommenced his business under his original TNT MARINE
`
`ENTERPRISES, INC. name and began again to manufacture and sell boat lifting devices under his
`
`TNT mark, including boat lifts incorporating one or more of the claims of the ‘606 patent.
`
`13.
`
`On December 5, 2007, Schmidt became owner, by assignment, of the federal trademark
`
`registration TNT, for vehicle lifts, U.S. Reg. No. 0818635. The first use in commerce of the United
`
`States of the registered NT mark commenced at least as early as 1965. Exhibit C, attached, is a copy
`
`of the TNT federal certificate of trademark registration. The assignment, Exhibit D, of the federal
`
`TNT trademark registration to Schmidt includes the right of Schmidt to sue for past infringements.
`
`14.
`
`U.S. Reg. No. 0818635 is valid, subsisting, and incontestible.
`
`15.
`
`On December 27, 2007, Schmidt gave the Defendants notice of his prior, superior rights to
`
`the trademark TNT for vehicle lifts, including boat lifts, and requested that they cease and desist
`
`from infringing his trademark rights. The Defendants have refused to cease and desist their
`
`infringing conduct, and they continue to manufacture and sell boat lifting devices under the marks
`
`TNT and TNT LIFT SYSTEMS.
`
`16.
`
`On March 7, 2007, VERSACOMP filed a United States trademark/service mark application
`
`before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”) for the mark TNT, U.S. Serial. No.
`
`77124511. Exhibit E. The application was signed by ULRICH, in which ULRICH, on behalf of
`
`VERSACOMP, falsely declared that VERSACOMP first used the TNT mark on January 1, 1989 for:
`
`Transom lifts and parts therefor; hydraulic tenders/transom lifts for marine vessels,
`boats and personal watercrafts; lifts and platforms secured to a transom of a marine
`vessel, boat or personal watercraft; transom platforms and parts therefor; swim
`platforms and parts therefor; installation, repair and maintenance oftransom lifts and
`platforms.
`
`

`
`
`
`The PTO refused the Defendants’ application to register the TNT mark for boat lifts as it concluded
`
`that there was a likelihood ofconfusion between the applied for TNT mark, and Schmidt’s registered
`
`TNT trademark, U.S. Reg. No. 0818635. Exhibit F.
`
`17.
`
`On March 7, 2007, VERSACOMP filed a United States trademark/service mark application
`
`before the PTO for the mark TNT LIFT SYSTEMS, U.S. Serial. No. 77124487. Exhibit G. The
`
`application was signed by ULRICH, and claims the following:
`
`Transom lifts and parts therefor; hydraulic tenders/transom lifts for marine vessels,
`boats and personal watercrafts; lifts and platforms secured to a transom of a marine
`vessel, boat or personal watercraft; transom platforms and parts therefor; swim
`platforms and parts therefor; installation, repair and maintenance of transom lifts and
`platforms.
`
`The PTO refused the Defendants’ application to register the TNT LIFT SYSTEMS mark for boat
`
`lifts as it concluded that there was a likelihood of confusion between the applied for TNT LIFT
`
`SYSTEMS trademark, and Schmidt’s registered TNT trademark, U.S. Reg. No. 0818635. Exhibit
`
`H.
`
`18.
`
`The Defendants’ use of TNT and TNT LIFT SYSTEMS for the goods and services identified
`
`in its PTO applications constitutes the use in commerce of a colorable imitation, copy and
`
`reproduction of Schmidt’s TNT mark. Upon information and belief, the Defendants’ TNT and TNT
`
`LIFT SYSTEMS marks share an identical sight and sound, and a strong similarity of meaning with
`
`Schmidt’s TNT registered trademark. The Defendant’s use of TNT and TNT LIFT SYSTEMS for
`
`boat lifting devices and parts and service therefore is deceptively and confusingly similar to
`
`Schmidt’s long-standing TNT trademark for vehicle lifts.
`
`19.
`
`The Defendants’ boat lifts are being distributed and sold in the same types of commercial
`
`channels and to the same class of purchasers as Schmidt’s boat lifts.
`
`

`
`
`
`20.
`
`The Defendants’ use ofTNT and TNT LIFT SYSTEMS is likely to cause confusion, mistake,
`
`or deception in the minds of the public in that consumers will believe that there is some association
`
`with, relationship or connection to Schmidt where there is none.
`
`21.
`
`The Defendants’ infringement constitutes a willful and malicious violation of Schmidt’s
`
`trademark rights, aimed at preventing Schmidt from continuing to build a business around a mark
`
`TNT that he owns, and originated in the marine industry.
`
`COUNT I
`
`FEDERAL TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT UNDER LANHAM ACT § 32
`
`22.
`
`Plaintiff repeats and hereby incorporates herein by reference, as though specifically pleaded
`
`herein, the allegations of Paragraphs 1 through 21.
`
`23.
`
`The Defendants’ use ofthe TNT and TNT LIFT SYSTEMS marks comprises an infringement
`
`of Schmidt’s registered trademark TNT and is likely to cause confusion, mistake and deception of
`
`the public as to the identity and origin of Schmidt’s goods and services, causing irreparable harm to
`
`Schmidt for which there is no adequate remedy at law.
`
`24.
`
`By reason of the foregoing acts, the Defendants are liable to Schmidt for trademark
`
`infringement under 15 U.S.C. § lll4.
`
`COUNT II
`
`FALSE DESIGNATION OF ORIGIN UNDER LANHAM ACT § 43
`
`25.
`
`Plaintiff repeats and hereby incorporates herein by reference, as though specifically pleaded
`
`herein, the allegations of Paragraphs 1 through 21.
`
`26.
`
`The Defendants’ conduct utilizing the designation TNT and TNT LIFT SYSTEMS
`
`constitutes a false designation of origin, and/or a false or misleading description of fact, and/or a
`
`

`
`
`
`false or misleading representation of fact that is likely to cause confusion, cause mistake or to
`
`deceive as to the affiliation, connection, or association of the Defendants with the Plaintiff or as to
`
`the origin, sponsorship, or approval of the Defendants’ goods and/or services or commercial
`
`activities of the Plaintiff.
`
`27.
`
`By reason of the foregoing acts, the Defendants are liable to Schmidt under 15 U.S.C. §
`
`1125(a).
`
`COUNT III
`
`COMMON LAW UNFAIR COMPETITION
`
`28.
`
`Plaintiff repeats and hereby incorporates herein by reference, as though specifically pleaded
`
`herein, the allegations of Paragraphs 1 through 21.
`
`29.
`
`The aforesaid conduct ofthe Defendants has been willful, wanton, and malicious supportive
`
`of Plaintiff’ s claim for punitive damages, which is specifically pled herein.
`
`30.
`
`By reason of the foregoing acts, the Defendants are liable to Schmidt for common law unfair
`
`competition under the laws of the state of Florida.
`
`COUNT IV
`
`BREACH OF SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
`
`31.
`
`Plaintiff repeats and hereby incorporates herein by reference, as though specifically pleaded
`
`herein, the allegations of Paragraphs 1 through 21.
`
`32.
`
`In the settlement agreement reached in Schmidt 1, Exhibit A, the Defendants agreed to pay
`
`Schmidt $50,000 for past infringement of the ‘606 patent. The Defendants further agreed not to
`
`infringe the ‘606 patent in the future, provided that if Defendants made, used, offered to sell, or sold
`
`boat lifts incorporating the ‘606 patented invention to Bullware Yachts or Nordic Tug,
`
`the
`
`

`
`
`
`Defendants would be obligated to pay Schmidt a license fee per boat lift. If the license fee was not
`
`paid timely, Schmidt would be entitled to a judgment against the Defendants in Schmidt I for
`
`$80,400 less the $50,000 payment made by the Defendants to Schmidt.
`
`33.
`
`Upon information and belief, the Defendants intentionally and willfully replaced, made, used,
`
`offered for sale or sold a boat lift infringing the ‘606 patent subsequent to the date of the settlement
`
`agreement in Schmidt I, did not timely pay to Schmidt any license fee, and will continue to infringe
`
`unless enjoined by this court.
`
`34.
`
`By reason of the foregoing acts, the Defendants are in breach of the settlement agreement in
`
`Schmidt 1.
`
`COUNT V
`
`CANCELLATION OF FLORIDA STATE TRADEMARK/SERVICE MARK
`REGISTRATIONS
`
`35.
`
`Plaintiff repeats and hereby incorporates herein by reference, as though specifically pleaded
`
`herein, the allegations of Paragraphs 1 through 21.
`
`36.
`
`The Defendants sought to and did apply to register Plaintiffs TNT mark, claiming it as their
`
`own, for the following goods/services: Installation, repair and maintenance of transom lifts &
`
`platforms, transom lifts and parts thereof, hydraulic tenders/transom lifts, etc., with the Florida
`
`Department of State.
`
`37.
`
`In their application, the Defendants falsely or fraudulently declared or represented to the
`
`Florida Department of State that they first used the TNT mark for the stated goods/services anywhere
`
`on January 1, 1989, and first used the TNT mark in Florida on January 1, 1989.
`
`3 8.
`
`Based upon the Defendants’ false or fraudulent declarations or representations, on March 12,
`
`

`
`
`
`2007, the Florida Department of State issued to Defendant Versacomp, Inc. a certificate of
`
`trademark/service mark registration, Reg. No. T07000000345 (“the ‘345 registration”) for the mark
`
`TNT.
`
`39.
`
`The Defendants are not the owners of the TNT mark.
`
`40.
`
`The ‘345 registration was granted improperly.
`
`41.
`
`The ‘345 registered TNT mark is so similar, as to be likely to cause confusion or mistake or
`
`to deceive, to Schmidt’s federally registered TNT mark, U.S. Reg. No. 0818635, which was
`
`registered prior to the date of filing of the application for state registration by the Defendants, and
`
`which has not been abandoned.
`
`42.
`
`By reason of the foregoing act regarding the application for the ‘345 registration, the
`
`Defendants are liable to Schmidt for punitive or exemplary damages pursuant to Fla. Stat. §495. 1 21.
`
`43.
`
`The Defendants sought to and did apply to register Plaintiff’ s TNT mark, in the form of TNT
`
`LIFT SYSTEMS, claiming it as their own, for the following goods/services: Installation, repair and
`
`maintenance of transom lifts & platforms, transom lifts and parts thereof, hydraulic tenders/transom
`
`lifts, etc., with the Florida Department of State.
`
`44.
`
`On March 12, 2007, the Florida Department of State issued to Defendant Versacomp, Inc.
`
`a certificate of trademark/service mark registration, Reg. No. T070000O0346 (“the ‘346
`
`registration”) for the mark TNT LIFT SYSTEMS.
`
`45.
`
`The Defendants are not the owners of the TNT LIFT SYSTEMS mark.
`
`46.
`
`The ‘346 registration was granted improperly.
`
`47.
`
`The ‘346 registered TNT LIFT SYSTEMS mark is so similar, as to be likely to cause
`
`confusion or mistake or to deceive, to Schmidt’s federally registered TNT mark, U.S. Reg. No.
`
`

`
`
`
`0818635, which was registered prior to the date of filing of the application for state registration by
`
`the Defendants, and which has not been abandoned.
`
`WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays:
`
`1.
`
`That Defendants, their agents, officers, employees, representatives, successors, assigns,
`
`attorneys and all other persons acting for, with, by, through or under authority from each of them,
`
`be preliminarily and permanently enjoined from:(a) using Schmidt’s TNT mark depicted in Exhibit
`
`C, or any colorable imitation thereof; (b) using any trademark or service mark that imitates or is
`
`confusingly similar to or in anyway similar to Schmidt’s TNT mark, or that is likely to cause
`
`confusion, mistake, deception, or public misunderstanding as to the origin of Schmidt’s products or
`
`services, or their connectedness to Defendants; and (c) from directly or indirectly infringing the ‘606
`
`patent.
`
`2.
`
`That Defendants be required to file with the court and serve on Schmidt within thirty (30)
`
`days after entry of the Injunction, a report in writing under oath setting forth in detail the manner and
`
`form in which Defendants have complied with the Injunction;
`
`3.
`
`That, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1117, Defendants be held liable for all damages suffered by
`
`Schmidt resulting from the acts alleged herein;
`
`4.
`
`That, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1 1 17, Defendants be compelled to account to Schmidt for any
`
`and all profits derived by them from their illegal acts complained of herein;
`
`5.
`
`That the Defendants be ordered pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1118 to deliver up for destruction
`
`all containers, labels, signs, prints, packages, wrappers, receptacles, advertising, promotional
`
`material or the like in possession, custody or under the control of Defendants bearing a trademark
`
`found to infringe Schmidt’s TNT trademark rights, as well as all plates, matrices, and other means
`
`10
`
`

`
`
`
`of making the same;
`
`6.
`
`That the court declare this to be an exceptional case and award Schmidt his full costs, and
`
`reasonable attorneys’ fees pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1117;
`
`7.
`
`That the court cancel the Florida Department of State certificates of registration, the ‘345
`
`registration and the ‘346 registration, pursuant to Fla. Stat. §495.101;
`
`8.
`
`9.
`
`That the court award to Schmidt punitive damages pursuant to Fla. Stat. §495. 121;
`
`That the court award to Schmidt pre and post judgment interest;
`
`10.
`
`That the court grant Cisco any other remedy to which Schmidt may be entitled as provided
`
`for in 15 U.S.C. §§ 1116 and 1117 or under state law;
`
`11.
`
`That all structures, CAD programs, jigs, fixtures, templates, including replacement parts,
`
`incorporating Schmidt’s invention under the ‘606 patent made, used, offered for sale, or sold be
`
`offered up to Schmidt, destroyed or modified so as to effectively terminate the unauthorized use of
`
`Schmidt’s invention in violation of the ‘606 patent or breach of the Schmidt 1 settlement agreement; _
`
`12.
`
`That the court award to Schmidt treble damages, costs and attorney fees for the settlement
`
`agreement breach;
`
`13.
`
`That the court award to Schmidt all gross profits realized by the Defendants as result of the
`
`settlement agreement breach; and,
`
`14.
`
`That the court award such and other fiarther relief that it deems just and proper.
