*204The main question raised by Defendants’ summary judgment motion is: were The Gerffert Company, Inc.’s catalogs2 for religious products, featuring the iconic artwork of Fratelli Bonella,3 protectable trade dress infringed upon by William J. Hirten Co., LLC’s catalogs4 for the same product line? Because the Court answers this question in the negative, it grants summary judgment in favor of Defendants on Plaintiffs’ federal Lanham Act claim, and declines to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over their state-law claims.5
