2013 when the Defendants sought a license to use some of Mr. Schlütter’s original designs
showroom installations for Defendant Battah, including for the conception and planning
14. Mr. Schlütter submitted invoices for the consultation services that he
memorialized the terms of the relationship. Accordingly, Mr. Schlütter and Schwarzmann
retained all ownership interests in and to the original designs that he conceived of in

no writing was executed between the parties to affect Mr. Schlütter’s right, title, and
obtained an implied license for the limited purpose contemplated by the parties, namely,
the use of the designs as single installations. See, Exhibit B for examples of the

conceived of, and began preparations to produce, an ornamental and highly distinctive

via a related German entity, contacted Hanak, a highly regarded European furniture

February 17, 2015, for the ornamental design of its innovative Localumentum bookcase,

DEFENDANTS’ ACTIONS
24. At some point during the course of Schwarzmann’s interactions with Hanak,
with Hanak, and took steps to improperly interfere with that relationship.
5
Case 0:19-cv-62276-XXXX Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 09/12/2019 Page 6 of 15
25. To wit, several months after signing an agreement with Schwarzmann for
the supply of furniture, and just as work on the commercial prototype of Schwarzmann’s
Patented Design was complete, Hanak notified Schwarzmann that all orders made by
Schwarzmann must “go with the express consent of Hans Krug.” Moreover, Hanak
delivered all Schwarzmann designs in its possession to Hans Krug, which included the
26. Upon information and belief, Hanak’s about-face was spurred by improper
28. While Schwarzmann had been determined to focus its efforts on proceeding
with its own pursuits, more recently Schwarzmann discovered that Defendants have been
using, displaying, importing, offering for sale, and/or selling Schwarzmann’s Patented
29. The Defendants have unfairly profited from Schwarzmann’s own time and
30. The Defendants’ past and continuous use, display, marketing, promoting,
importing, offering for sale, and/or selling of Schwarzmann’s Patented Design further
constitutes a deliberate and willful scheme to infringe upon the ‘049 Patent, without
6
Case 0:19-cv-62276-XXXX Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 09/12/2019 Page 7 of 15
Plaintiff’s consent.
31. Moreover, as can be seen in Exhibit E, the Defendants have applied a false
and misleading designation of origin to the Infringing Bookcase, namely, “HANS KRUG,”
33. This act of reverse passing off was performed with the specific knowledge
that the goods at issue did not originate with Defendants, and that the affixation of “HANS
KRUG” to the Infringing Bookcase would case a likelihood of confusion as to the source
of the Infringing Bookcase, and would falsely or misleadingly designate the origin of the
Infringing Bookcase.
34. Defendant Battah has specific knowledge that the Infringing Bookcase
35. Accordingly, the act of reverse passing off complained of herein was done
36. Schwarzmann has also discovered that Defendants have exceeded the terms
of the implied copyright license by failing to attribute Mr. Schlütter as the author of the
Schwarzmann’s Copyrighted Designs. Indeed, the Defendants have even credited “HANS
KRUG” and/or Mr. Battah at varying times as the author of Schwarzmann’s Copyrighted
Designs.
37. The Defendants have also exceeded the terms of the implied license by

See, Exhibit F, depicting unpermitted works known to Plaintiff as of the filing date of this
Complaint.
38. The Defendants have therefore abused the privilege of the license to the
detriment of Schwarzmann, and violated the implied covenant of good faith and fair
dealing, by exceeding the scope of the license and by creating the impression that
Schwarzmann terminated any and all licenses the Defendants may have obtained relative

derivative works.
