Inc., d/b/a King Jewelers, a Florida corporation with an address of 18265 Biscayne Blvd.
Aventura, FL 33160, and any present or former officer, director, member, employee, servant,
agent, attorney or other representative acting on the behalf of King Jewelers and shall include any
parent, subsidiary, division, predecessor, successor or affiliate
2. The term “STORY Mark” shall mean and incorporate Applicant’s federal
trademark application to register the words “SOME WATCHES TELL TIME…SOME TELL A
STORY.”
3. The term “communication” means the transmittal of information (in the form of
facts, ideas, inquiries or otherwise).
4. The term “document” is defined to be synonymous in meaning and equal in scope
to the usage of the term “documents or electronically stored information” in Fed. R. Civ. P.
34(a)(1)(A). A draft or non-identical copy is a separate document within the meaning of this term.
5. When referring to a person, “to identify” means to give, to the extent known, the
person’s full name, present or last known address, and when referring to a natural person,
additionally, the present or last known place of employment. Once a person has been identified
in accordance with this subparagraph, only the name of that person need be listed in response to
subsequent discovery requesting the identification of that person.
6. When referring to documents, “to identify” means to give, to the extent known, the
(i) type of document; (ii) general subject matter; (iii) date of the document; and (iv) author(s),
addressee(s) and recipient(s). In the alternative, the responding party may produce the documents,
together with identifying information sufficient to satisfy Fed. R. Civ. P. 33(d).
7. The term “concerning” means relating to, referring to, describing, evidencing or
constituting.
2
8. The terms “all,” “any,” and “each” shall each be construed as encompassing any
and all.

conjunctively as necessary to bring within the scope of the discovery request all responses that
might otherwise be construed to be outside of its scope.

billboard in the following image:

INSTRUCTIONS
1. If any document is withheld in whole or in part, for any reason including, without
limitation, a claim of privilege or other protection from disclosure such as the work product
doctrine or other business confidentiality or trade secret protection, set forth separately with
respect to each document:
a. the basis on which the privilege or protection is claimed;
b. the type of document;
c. the general subject matter of the document;
d. the date of the document;
e. the author of the document;
f. the addressees of the document and any other recipients; and
g. where not apparent, the relationship of the author, addressees, and recipients to
each other.
2. To the extent you assert that a document contains information that should be
protected from disclosure (based on the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine, or
another protection) and non-privileged information, the non-privileged portions of the document
must be produced. For each such document, indicate the portion of the document withheld by
stamping the words "MATERIAL REDACTED" on the document in an appropriate location that
does not obscure the remaining text.
3. Your responses to the following Requests for Production are to be promptly
supplemented to include subsequently acquired information in accordance with the requirements
of Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(e).
4. All documents are to be produced as they are kept in the usual course of business
with any identifying labels, file markings, or similar identifying features, or shall be organized
and labelled to correspond to the categories requested herein. If there are no documents in
4
response to a particular request or if you withhold any responsive documents or categories of
documents based on any objections, you shall state so in writing.
5. Electronically stored information (ESI) must be produced in its original native
format with its accompanying metadata. For example:
a. documents created using Microsoft Word must be produced as .doc files; and
b. e-mails must be produced in a form that readily supports import into standard
email client programs (e.g., .msg or .pst files).
6. These requests call for the production of all responsive documents in your
possession, custody, or control, or in the possession, custody, or control of your employees,
predecessors, successors, parents, subsidiaries, divisions, affiliates, partners, joint venturers,
brokers, accountants, financial advisors, representatives, and agents or other persons acting on
your behalf, without regard to the physical location of such documents.
7. In responding to these requests, include documents obtained on your behalf by
your counsel, employees, agents, or any other persons acting on your behalf. If your response is
that the documents are not within your possession or custody, describe in detail the unsuccessful
efforts you made to locate each such document. If your response is that documents are not under
your control, identify who has the control and the location of the documents.
8. If any document was, but no longer is, in your possession, subject to your control
or in existence, include a statement:
(a) identifying the document;
(b) describing where the document is now;
(c) identifying who has control of the document;
(d) describing how the document became lost or destroyed or was transferred; and
(e) identifying each of those persons responsible for or having knowledge of the loss,
destruction, or transfer of this document from your possession, custody, or control.
5
9. Each request contemplates production of all documents in their entirety. If a
portion of a document is responsive to one or more requests, the document shall be produced in
its entirety.
10. Unless otherwise stated herein, all documents requested are for the period
commencing December 1, 2016 up to and including the end of this litigation.
11. Unless otherwise stated herein, these requests apply to activities in or in
connection with the United States.
12. For the convenience of the Court and the parties, each request should be quoted in
full immediately preceding the response.
