Document filed by Gucci America, Inc..(Ederer, Louis) (Entered: 06/23/2010) 113 TRANSCRIPT of proceedings held on June 10, 2010 before Judge Shira A. Scheindlin. (mro) (Entered: 06/30/2010) 110 ENDORSED LETTER addressed to Judge Shira A. Scheindlin from Robert C. Welsh dated 6/24/10 re: We write regarding the assertion of an advice of counsel defense. At this time, defendant Guess?, Inc. does not intend to assert the advice of counsel defense in the above-referenced litigation. ENDORSEMENT: The Clerk is directed to docket this letter. So ordered. (Signed by Judge Shira A. Scheindlin on 6/25/10) (rjm) (Entered: 06/25/2010) 111 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER: Accordingly, Gucci is directed to revise its amended privilege log as follows: (i) indentify with specificity which of the Volpi communications relate to the instant litigation and which communications relate to the Italian litigation so that the Court can determine whether the attorney client privilege applies; and (ii)provide a detailed description, beyond the subject matter of the document, sufficient to indicate Gucci's basis for designating each of the communications involving both Volpi and moss- as protected from disclosure pursuant to the work product doctrine. Gucci is further directed to submit the revised amended privilege log to the Court in 12-point font, with a copy served upon all counsel of record, by July 6, 2010. So Ordered (Signed by Magistrate Judge James L. Cott on 7/29/2010) (js) Modified on 6/29/2010 (js). Copies by ECF (Entered: 06/29/2010) MEMORANDUM AND ORDER: For these reasons, Gucci's application for a protective order against the disclosure of the privileged communications of Jonathan Moss on attorney-client privilege grounds is denied. In the alternative, Gucci claims that the Moss communications are protected from discovery pursuant to the work-product doctrine. Communications that are not protected by the attorney-client privilege may nonetheless quality for protection under the work-product doctrine. See e.g., Haughv. Schroder Inv. Mgmt. N. Am., Inc., 02 Civ. 7955 (DLC), 2003 WL 21998674 (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 25,2003) (attorney-client privilege not applicable to public relations firm, but work-product doctrine protected communications sent to consultant by counsel). The party invoking the work-product doctrine "must show that the documents were prepared principally or exclusively to assist in anticipated or ongoing litigation." United States v. Constr. Prods. Research. Inc., 73 F.3d 464, 473(2d Cir. 1996). See Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(3). As the parties have not briefed the issue of whether the work-product doctrine applies here, the Court is without sufficient information regarding the nature of the documents to ascertain whether the privilege applies. In a related Memorandum and Order that I am issuing today, I have directed Gucci to amend its privilege log to denote, with specificity, the basis for its invocation of the work-product doctrine with respect to the Moss communications. The applicability of the work product

132 MODIFIED SCHEDULING ORDER: Deposition due by 6/15/2011. Discovery due by 6/15/2011. Pre-Motion Conference set for 3/18/2011 at 10:00 AM before Judge Shira A. Scheindlin. Pretrial Order due by 7/15/2011. (Signed by Judge Shira A. Scheindlin on 12/23/2010) (jpo) (Entered: 12/23/2010) 133 ORDER: Pursuant to this Court's order, plaintiff Gucci America, Inc. ("GA") submitted four documents for the Court's in camera review. These documents consist of written communications to and from Carlo Imo, the General Counsel of GA's affiliate, Guccio Gucci S.p.A. of Italy to and from outside counsel. Having reviewed each document and its attachment(s), the following constitutes the rulings of the Court. 1. Tab 1: 2/20/05 Privileged. The only amendment is to the privilege log which should have described the document as "Instructions from General Counsel to outside legal trademark counsel regarding possible legal action against Guess." 2. Tab 2: 2/28/05 Privileged. 3. Tab 3: 3/8/05 Privileged. 4. Tab 4: 9/212/06 Privileged. The only oversight was that the unredacted version of Exhibit 2 was only submitted to this Court in French, rather than in an English translation. If such a translation exists it should be submitted to the Court forthwith although it appears that the attachment is privileged. At the Court's request Defendant Guess?, Inc. submitted its revised 30(b)(6) notice to GA; its deposition notice to Cheryl Solomon; and its Eighth Request for Production to GA. Each request has been reviewed and the following constitutes the Court's rulings: (1) 30(b)(6) notice: All permitted except #15. I note that this is not a document request and that the witness need only be knowledgeable about and able to testify regarding requests #14 but is not required to produce documents. (2) Solomon deposition notice: Request # 1 in Attachment A is stricken. Request #2 is permitted but only to the extent of producing non-privileged and relevant documents. (3) Eighth Request for Production to GA: To the extent this request seeks documents from Guccio Gucci or Gucci Group, the request is stricken. As amended a response is required to requests 117-122. Request #123 is limited to Communications regarding Guess? and to non-privileged and relevant material. Request #124 is permitted. Request #125 is limited to communications with quality control departments and related solely to Guess? Requests #126-127 are permitted. Requests #128-133 are stricken. Request #134 is permitted unless Guess? raises a work product objection. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Shira A. Scheindlin on 12/27/2010) (lnl) (Entered: 12/28/2010) ***DELETED DOCUMENT.

185 RULE 56.1 STATEMENT. Document filed by Guess, Inc., K&M Associates L.P., Sequel AG, Signal Products, Inc., Swank, Inc., The Max Leather Group/Cipriani Accessories, Inc., Viva Optique, Inc.. (Welsh, Robert) (Entered: 12/15/2011) 186 MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER:#101159 Gucci's motion for reconsideration is granted. The Mantis Survey is relevant and therefore admissible -on two narrow issues. First, it is relevant to the issue of post-sale consumer confusion allegedly caused by Guess Quattro G bags in those post-sale situations where the casual observer will not see permanent Guess-identifying ornamentation. Second, it its relevant to the issue of whether the test bag itself infringes Gucci's trademark and trade dress rights. Guess shall be entitled to five additional pages in its summary judgment papers to address these issues. (Signed by Judge Shira A. Scheindlin on 12/15/2011) (ft) Modified on 12/21/2011 (jab).

195 ORDER: In a letter dated January 20, 2012, Defendants requested permission to file a reply to Plaintiffs's statement of additional material facts as to which it contends there is a genuine issue to be tried, filed pursuant to Local Rule 56.1 (b). Defendants also requested a short extension of the summary judgment briefing schedule in order to prepare such a reply. In a letter dated the same day, Plaintiff stated that it did not oppose either request. While Plaintiff's fifty page Rule 56.1 statement flagrantly violates my individual rules limiting such statements to twenty-five pages unless prior approval is granted, further submissions from the Defendants will be neither necessary nor helpful in deciding the pending motions.
