Miller, an individual, and Case No.: 2:19-CV-02213-JCM- 8 DJA Omni Block, a Nevada Corporation, 9 Plaintiff, 10 v. JOINT PRETRIAL ORDER 11 Edward M. Weinmann, an individual, 12 and Advanced Masonry Consulting 13 Inc., a Florida Corporation, 14 Defendants. 15 Edward M. Weinmann, an individual, 16 17 Counterclaimant, 18 v. 19 20 Dennis R. Miller, an individual, and Omni Block, a Nevada Corporation, 21 Counter- 22 Defendants. 23 24 25 26 27 1 Dennis Miller (“Miller”) and Omni Block (“Omni Block”) (collectively 2 “Plaintiffs”) and Edward M. Weinmann (“Weinmann”) and Advanced Masonry 3 Consulting, Inc. (collectively “Defendants”), by and through their respective counsel 4 of record, hereby submit this Joint Pretrial Order. 5 I. 6 NATURE OF THE ACTION AND PLEADINGS 7 A. Plaintiffs’ Contentions 8 This is a trademark infringement and unfair competition action arising from 9 10 an Independent Contractor Agreement (“ICA”) between Miller and Weinmann. 11 Plaintiffs allege that Weinmann has used Plaintiffs’ trademark for the name Omni 12 Block to secure agreements to supply insulated cement blocks on various 13 construction projects. 14 Plaintiffs further allege that Defendants were seeking to usurp projects for 15 16 their own benefit at the detriment of Plaintiffs. Even after the ICA was purportedly 17 terminated, Weinmann continued to pose as a representative of Omni Block while 18 interacting with Plaintiffs’ Licensees. Weinmann’s actions were orchestrated to 19 determine the nature of confidential projects so that he and his company Advanced 20 21 Masonry could bid on jobs against Plaintiffs and its Licensees requiring cement 22 blocks and insulating inserts. 23 Weinmann and Advanced Masonry have improperly used Plaintiffs’ 24 trademark to interfere with at least two major projects, namely the (i) Orlando 25 International Airport (“Airport Project”) and (ii) a building to be built at 640 26 27 Columbia Avenue in Brooklyn, New York (“640 Columbia Project”). Plaintiffs’ 1 Licensees bid on both projects and were considered the front runners to secure the 2 same. That is, until Defendants began interfering with the projects for their own 3 benefit by using Plaintiffs’ trademark and otherwise unfairly competing with 4 Plaintiffs’ by purporting to remain associated with Plaintiffs’ business and passing 5 off their insulated cement blocks as the Omni Block manufactured/supplied by 6 Plaintiffs. 7 8 B. Defendants’ Contentions 9 Defendants contend that this is a spite case, and that Plaintiffs are aware that 10 their claims against Defendants are baseless. This Court has already entered 11 summary judgment against Plaintiffs on six of their eight claims, and thus Plaintiffs 12 have two remaining claims: (1) trademark infringement and (2) unfair competition 13 14 under the Lanham Act. Those remaining claims also lack merit, and at trial Plaintiffs 15 will be unable to establish any evidence of customer confusion. Further, the 16 evidence will establish that any use by Defendants of the Omni mark was protected 17 by the doctrine of fair use. 18 19 Defendants have asserted counterclaims for (1) breach of contract, (2) 20 contractual breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, (3) 21 intentional interference with contractual relations1 and (4) fraud. Defendants allege 22 that Plaintiffs failed to pay Weinmann all commissions owed pursuant to the ICA. 23 Additionally, Defendants allege that Plaintiffs knowingly made fraudulent 24 25 representations regarding the Omni Block product’s R value. The evidence will 26 show that even though the Omni Block’s Thermal Tables and Calculations contain 27 1 1 the signature and stamp of an architect, in reality the calculations were simply 2 calculated by Miller and have no basis in fact. Had Weinmann known the falsity of 3 the Omni Block R values, he never would have associated himself with the company 4 or Miller. 5 II. 6 STATEMENT OF JURISDICTION 7 This Court has original subject matter jurisdiction over this controversary 8 under 28 U.S.C. §1332 as the parties are of diverse citizenship and the amount in 9 10 controversary exceeds $75,000. 11 III. 12 STATEMENT OF STIPULATED FACTS 13 The following facts are admitted by the parties and require no proof: 14 1.

To the extent that Defendants used a same or similar mark, did the use 14 15 of the mark by Defendants likely cause confusion as based on the factors set forth in 16 In re E.I.
