    -5-24. The Steak Umm Marks are widely known throughout the United States

    and indeed, throughout the world.25. By way of example, Steak Umm commercializes the sandwich steak

    products and hamburger products in each of the 50 United States, and in more than 100 storesthroughout the United States. See Exhibit F.

    use, and is continuing to use the mark "steak 'em up" or similar varations thereof (the"Infinging Marks") as par of its advertising, promotion, and marketing of its sandwich steakrestaurant services in Pennsylvania.

    27. Such use of the Infringing Marks stared more than thirt years after SteakUmm began using its trademark and name for steak sandwich meat.

    28. Defendant is advertising and promoting its services of sellng steaksandwiches, among other food products, through varous commercial media, includingtelevision, radio, internet, brochures, flyers and restaurant signage.

    29. An example of the Steak 'Em restaurant menu, showing sale of steaksandwiches, and cheese steak sandwiches by defendant, as printed from defendant's website isshown as Exhibit G.

    30. Defendant's use of the Infringing Marks, including without limitation,"steak 'em" or "steak 'em up" are colorably similar to Steak Umm's Marks, STEAK-UMM~.

    6/51

    -6-33. Defendant has used and is continuing to use the Infringing Marks to

    promote its sandwich steak products, which such products are essentially identical to thesandwich steak products commercialized by Steak Umm.

    34. An Internet search engine request for the terms "steak ur up," shows thatat least the top six "hits" are for "Steak Urn Up" located 2600 South 11th Street, Philadelphia. SeeExhbit E.

    35. Several of the Internet search engine "hits" show specific advertising bySteak 'Em of its restaurant as "Steak Urn Up" located at 2600 South 11 th Street, Philadelphia.See Exhbits H through K.

    36. The confsion of trademarks and names is apparent because defendant'sSteak 'Em Up restaurant is located at 2600 South 11th Street, Philadelphia.

    37. Defendant has used and is continuing to use the infringing marks "steak'em" and "steak ur" without the permission, consent or authorization of Steak Umm.

    38. On June 11, 2009, counsel for plaintiff sent a "cease and desist" letter todefendant Steak 'Em Up advising of Steak Umm's concern regarding the infringing use of the"steak 'em" and "steak ur" marks by Steak 'Em. A true and correct copy of this letter isattached hereto as Exhbit L.

    39. In the June 11, 2009 letter, in case defendant did not know of the SteakUmm Marks, defendant was advised of Steak Umm's intellectual property rights and its UnitedStates Trademark Registrations for STEAK-UMM(l, and was asked to cease fuher use of theinfringing "steak 'em" and "steak ur" marks.

    7/51

    -7-40. Following receipt of the June 11 letter, defendant Steak 'Em has continued

    to promote its sandwich steak products and restaurant under the Infringing Marks without anychange or alteration.

    41. As par of initial discussions between the paries, defendant Steak 'Em hasonly proposed to refrain from radio advertising of its infinging name.

    42. Defendant Steak 'Em's improper use of the Steak Umm Marks is likely tocause confusion, mistake, or deception of purchasers as to the affiliation, connection, association,origin, sponsorship, or approval of Steak 'Em's goods, services, or commercial activities.

    43. Purchasers are likely to purchase defendant's goods commercialized under

    the Infrnging Marks, including "steak 'em," believing that such goods, including steaksandwiches are made using plaintifts goods or are plaintifts sandwich steak products.

    44. Plaintiff Steak Umm has no control over the quality of defendant's goods

    advertised or sold in association with the infrnging "steak 'em" marks.45. If defendant Steak 'Em continues to use the infinging "steak 'em" marks,

    then Steak Umm's goodwil and other intellectual property rights will be in the hands ofdefendant Steak 'Em without Steak Umm's consent or approval, and Steak Umm's goodwill andintellectual property in its brand wil be tarished and diminished.

    46. Given the initial contacts and discussions with Steak 'Em, the infringingconduct by defendant Steak 'Em is knowing, wilful and deliberate.

    47. On information and belief, the infringing activity of Steak 'Em has beendesigned to take advantage of the goodwil and products association that Steak Umm has builtover many decades through its use of its registered trademarks and common law trademarks.

    Re: The Steak Umm Company, LLC Intellectual Propert Rights;Registered U.S. Trademarks STEAK-UMMiI

    Dear Mr. Lane:

    We have been retaned by The Steak Umm Company, LLC ("Steak Umm") to adviseyou of Steak Umm's various intellectual property rights, and to more specifically advise you ofyour company's violation of those Steak Umm rights.

    Steak Umm owns and extensively uses several federal registered trademarks for themark STEAK-UMMiI (U.S. Registration Nos. 1,033,176; 1,116,446; and 2,375,933) (the"Steak Umm Marks") each used as part of the Steak Umm business operations. Moreparicularly, the Steak Umm Marks have been used in connection with the commercializationof Steak Umm' s steak products, sandwich steak products, and sandwich rolls since at least1975. You surely know of these facts based upon your vantage point as operating a foodbusiness in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania region.

    Indeed, the STEAK UMMiI marks and brand have been used extensively in thePhiladelphia region, and indeed thoughout the entire United States, for the sale of steakproducts and sandwich steak products for at least 30 years. As par of such use, Steak Umm

    Mr. Michael LaneJune i i, 2009Page 2

    has invested a considerable amount of time and money towards the publicity and the marketingof its brand, its marks, and its company name, all towards the creation and building of thegoodwil associated with the Steak Umm Marks and STEAK UMM~ products. Through suchuse, marketing and publicity, the Steak Umm Marks are well-known, are unquestionablyfamous, and have achieved a level of distinction and fame, especially in the Philadelphiaregion, reserved for very few brands and trademarks.

    In view of the great effort which has been made by our client in building its nghts in theSteak Umm Marks and the relating branding, along with the substantial goodwill and valueassociated with this intellectual property, the STEAK UMMQD trademarks and name havebecome an important and valued asset of Steak Umm. Steak Umm zealously guards thoseintellectual property nghts, including the trademark rights, against encroachment, infingement,improper usage, and unfair competition.

    We, and our client, have noted your and your company's use of the marks and names"STEAK UM UP" and "STEAK EM UP" as a restaurant name and mark for serving, amongother products, steak sandwich products. These names are without doubt confusingly similar tothe Steak Umm Marks. As such, the use of these marks are a direct infingement of the SteakUmm Marks. This misuse by you of our client's intellectul property is actionable at least astrademark infringement, and false designation of affliation or sponsorship under federal law.Furer, given the famous nature of the STEAK UMMQD marks, federal and state dilutionclaims are also at issue. If such findings of trademark infringement are found to have beenundertaken intentionally by you and your company, such a finding could result in trebledamages and attorneys' fees being assessed against you based upon ajudicial enforcement ofthese claims.

    On behalf of our client, we advise that you and your company must take immediatesteps to discontinue use of any and all improper advertising and references using any names,marks or brands which are confusingly similar to the Steak Umm Marks. Such improper useincludes, without limitation, any use of the "STEAK UM UP" and "STEAK EM UP" namesand marks in any written, electronic, or verbal media, including any websites, any radio andtelevision commercials and advertsing, and any and all menus, brochures, and flyers.

    You must contact the undersigned before 12:00 noon on Friday. June 12,2009 toacknowledge receipt of this letter and your understanding of the issues raised in this letter, andto provide us with written assurance that you have taken immediate steps to comply fully withthe above demands. If do not contact us by 12:00 noon on Friday. June 12.2009, we willadvise our client to undertake any and all alternative means to protect its famous intellectualproperty rights.
