`
`APPLICANTS MOTION FOR DISCOVERY SANCTIONS
`
`lN THE NATURE OF DEFAULT JUDGMENT
`
`Applicant, Lohntann Animal Health Gtnblrl & Co., KG, hereby moves pursuant to
`
`Trademark Rule 2.120(g)(1) and FEtZl.R.ClV.P 3'i'(b)(2) for sanctions against Opposer in
`
`the nature of the entry of default judgment against Opposer for Opposer’s willful and
`
`complete failure to provide responses to interrogatories and document requests.
`
`As grounds for the instant Motion, Applicant states succinctly as follows.
`
`Applicant served on March 7, 2005 Lolimanrfs First Set of Interrogatories to
`
`Opposer and Loi1mann’s First Set of Requests for Production to Opposer, copies of which
`
`are attached hereto as Exhibits A and B, respectively. Responses to the discovery were
`
`due April Ii, 2005.
`
`Applicant’s attorneys sent a letter on April 11, 2005 to Opposer’s attorney by
`
`facsimile transmission noting that the responses were due to be served that day, asking
`
`that copies of the responses be sent by facsimile, and asking for cooperation with the
`
`
`
`logistics of producing, inspecting, and copying the requested documents. Later on April
`
`11, 2.005, Applicanfs attorney received a telephone call
`
`from O_pposer’s attorney
`
`admitting that Opposer had made no attempt to prepare responses. Opposer’s counsel
`
`requested additional time to respond to the discovery on the basis that he understood the
`
`parties were continuing to -discuss settlement. Applicant’s counsel is unaware of any
`
`such communications, and wanted to confirm with Applicantfs German attorneys
`
`whether such was the fact. Before Applicant’s counsel
`
`received a response from
`
`Applicant’s German attorneys, Qpposer filed a Motion To Extend The Discovery Period
`
`And Reset All Of The Dates, which is the subject of Applicant’s concurrently tiled
`
`opposition to that Motion. A.pplicant’s German attorneys confirmed the fact that there
`
`have been no settlement negotiations for several months.
`
`As of the date of the instant Motion, Opposer still has not provided any responses
`
`to the outstanding discovery.
`
`It is also noteworthy that Opposer has not initiated any
`
`discovery whatsoever in this opposition proceeding, Opposer has been absolutely
`
`indiffererit to the instant opposition proceedings and has knowingly failed to respond to
`
`Applicanfs outstanding discovery.
`
`Under such circumstances,
`
`the TTAB should
`
`terminate these proceedings by entering defaultjudgment against Opposer.
`
`Accordingly, Applicant prays for discovery sanctions in the nature of the entry of
`
`default judgment against Opposer.
`
`Respectfully submitted,
`
