`
`for an appropriate ruling from the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, but, absent extraordinary
`
`circumstances, such application shall not be made before ten (10) days after the producing party
`

`
`that issue will be resolved under relevant law as if this stipulation and order had not been signed

`
`information as "Confidential" shall in no event be deemed a violation of this stipulation and

`was not entitled to designation as "Confidential".

`
`Q.
`
`Good afternoon, Mr. Lazarus.
`
`I'm going to ask you some questions
`
`10
`
`in connection with your testimony in the
`
`
`
`
`
`11
`
`12
`
`opposition brought by Parfums de Coeur.
`
`I
`
`just want to remind you that if you could
`
`remember to give audible responses.
`
`
`
`.”"\
`
`14
`
`A.
`
`Okay.
`
`
`
`15
`
`Q.
`
`Has there been any change in your
`
`address since your last deposition?
`
`
`
`
`No.
` A.
`
`18
`
`Q.
`
`Did you speak with anyone,
`
`in
`
`preparation for your deposition today?
`
`Yes.
`A.
`
`And who was that?
`
`
`
`
`
`22
`
`23
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`My wife and my mom.
`
`And did you discuss the substance
`
`
`
`Q.
`
` of the deposition with either of those
`
`people?

`

`called as a

`
`witness, having been duly sworn by a

`Notary Public, was examined and
`
`testified as follows:
`
`EXAMINATION BY
`
`
`
`Lory Lazarus
`
`Page 6
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`Just that I was going to be here.
`
`Did you speak about
`
`the deposition
`
`with anybody else?
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`No.
`
`Did you review any documents,
`
`in
`
`preparation for the deposition?
`
`A.
`
`Yes.
`
`Q.
`
`A.
`
`And which documents?
`
`I reread all the previous requests
`
`for documents and interrogatories and
`
`requests for interrogatories and reviewed the
`
`previous deposition,
`
`looked it over.
`
`Q.
`
`Anything else?
`
`None that I can think of.
`
`Q.
`
`Has there been any change in your
`
`current employment since you were last
`
`deposed?
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`NO.
`
`Your counsel sent us a letter
`
`informing us of some additional employment
`
`that you had forgotten when responding in
`
`your last deposition and I just want to go
`
`over that.
`
`In 1986 or '87 you were employed by
`
`ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SERVICES
`1-800-944-9454
`
`
`
`Lory Lazarus
`
`Lifetime Cable Network;
`
`is that correct?
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`A.
`
`Yes.
`
`And in what capacity?
`
`I was leader of a house band on a
`
`TV show that was briefly on TV called Hot
`
`Properties.
`
`Q.
`
`And in 2000 to 2005 you were
`
`employed by Children's Theatre Company of
`
`New York;
`
`is that right?
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`A.
`
`Yes.
`
`And in what capacity?
`
`I wrote and still write songs about
`
`/..41
`
`world peace, unity, racial tolerance and
`
`occasionally upgrade scripts for them.
`
`Q.
`
`Are you still working for
`
`Children's Theatre Company?
`
`A.
`
`Yes.
`
`Q.
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`A.
`
`And in the same capacity?
`
`No.
`
`What do you do now?
`
`I had to give less of my time to
`
`them so I could work on other projects. My
`
`life was too crazy,
`
`so I gave up some time
`
`giving to them.

`

`

`
`the same as you were doing before,
`
`just less,
`
`timewise,
`
`is that what you're saying?
`
`A.
`
`I would be involved with them
`
`previously through the whole season, going in
`
`on Saturdays,
`
`teaching my songs to children,
`
`et cetera; but now I am just writing songs
`
`9
`
`10
`
`from New Jersey and e—mailing them to the
`
`artistic director, recording them, and I'm
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`11
`
`12
`
`15
`
`16
`
`not being involved in person.
`
`Q.
`
`And you mentioned you're working on
`
`A.
`
`I am involved in some hopeful TV
`
`
`
`
`
`
`other projects now that are taking up more of
`
`
`your time.
`
`
`What other projects are those?
`
`17
`show projects.
`A woman who teaches aerobics
`
`
`18
`
`to children, which is only in the planning
`
`
`
`
`stage but she has hired me to write songs for
`
`her.
`

`
`22
`
`
`
`

`
`MR. CHARNE:
`
`I object to this on
`
`the ground of relevance.
`
`It's really
`
`not relevant to the current issue.
`
`MS. FALKENBERG:
`
`I don't know if
`
`it's relevant or not, because he hasn't
`
`
`
`ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SERVICES
`1-800-944-9454
`
`
`
`Lory Lazarus
`
`told me what
`
`the rest of it is.
`
`THE WITNESS:
`
`Should I continue?
`
`MR. CHARNE:
`
`GO ahead.
`
`A.
`
`I have not been paid yet.
`
`It's
`
`spec —— speculative.
`
`And another project where I am
`
`being consulted to help put together a bible
`
`and a script for a hopeful puppet show that
`
`someone hopes to pitch to a TV network one
`
`day.
`
`Plus trying to promote myself, as I
`
`don't have an agent,
`
`to get my songs on the
`
`radio and just get out of working in a
`
`restaurant.
`
`Q.
`
`Focusing on body —— BM Bodyman, you
`
`testified at your deposition that you were in
`
`Contact with someone named Winnie Chaffee, at
`
`Phase Four Productions,
`
`in connection with
`
`the production of a Bodyman program.
`
`Do you recall that?
`
`Yes.
`
`And you stated that your last
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`contact with Ms. Chaffee was sometime after
`
`this trademark opposition started, when you
`
`contacted her to advise her of the trademark

`,_
`
`I

`

`
`opposition to the Bodyman application.
`
`Do you recall that?
`
` A. Yes.
`
`
`
`U‘!
`Q. Have you had any subsequent
`
`
`discussions with Ms. Chaffee, since your
`
`deposition in March?
` A. Yes.
`
`
`
`9
`
`Q.
`
`Could you tell me about
`
`those
`
`discussions?
`
`they've hardly been
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`14
`
`15
`
`16
`
`17
`
`18
`
`19
`
`20
`
`The first call she was in a meeting and could
`
`not
`
`take my call and asked me to call her
`
`back the following week. This is very
`
`recently.
`
`The second call I called her,
`
`she
`
`could not talk to me.
`
`She was getting ready
`
`to go to a PTA meeting or something with her
`
`daughter. And then I called her late last
`
`
`21
`week and only got her voicemail. That's it.
` So no substantive conversations?
`Q.
`
`
`
`
`You testified in your deposition
`had contact with someone named Nick
`
`No.
`
`ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SERVICES
`1-800-944-9454
`
`
`11
`A. Well,
`discussions.
`I've tried calling her three times.

`
`Weidenfeld at Adult Swim about the production
`
`of the Bodyman show.
`
`Do you recall that?
`
`
`
`A.
`
`Yes.
`Since your deposition in March,
`
`Q.
`
`
`
` 6
`
`have you had any further contact with him?
`
`
`
`9
`
`Q.
`
`Okay.
`
`You testified that
`
` A. NO.
`
`
`Weidenfeld has suggested that you contact
`
`
`
`the West Coast office of Cartoon Network, do
`
`you recall that?
`
`
`
`10
`
`Mr.
`
`
`Yes.
`A.
`
`
`14
`Q.
`Have you subsequently contacted the
`
` A. Yes.
`Could you tell me what manner you
`contacted them and what discussions,
`if any,
`
`
`
`18
`
`19
`
`you had with them?
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the show in person. However,
`
`20
`
`21
`
`22
`
`23
`
`24
`
`A.
`
`I contacted them Via e—mail and
`
`phone calls and finally was able to get
`
`through to someone to send them my Bodyman
`
`theme song video, demo tape.
`
`I wanted
`
`desperately to travel to Los Angeles to pitch
`
`they said just
`
`ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SERVICES
`1-800-944-9454
`
`West Coast office of Cartoon Network?
`
`17
`
`Q.
`
`
`
`
`
`Lory Lazarus
`
`send us a portion of your pitch so we can
`
`before,
`
`so you don't waste your time and
`
`sent them the video, and they passed on
`
`Bodyman by just examining the video.
`
`Q.
`
`Do you recall who,
`
`in particular,
`
`you were in contact with at Cartoon Network?
`
`4
`
`
`
`8
`
`9
`
`
`determine if it is something we have seen
`
`
` money coming out to Los Angeles.
`So I just 6
`
`
`
`
`
`Yes. First I was in touch with
`A.
`
`
`11
`Todd Case , and he put me in touch with Alex
`12
`M.0\v\\)§IQuu ®
`
`Maaeeg+an.
`
`13
`
`14
`
`Q.
`
`And the person you sent the
`Mawvyag
`_
`videotape to was Alex Maaeegiafifl
`
` A. Yes.
`
`
`
`
`16
`
`Q.
`
`And how were you notified that they
`
`had passed on Bodyman?
`A.
`He sent me an e—mail saying that he
`was going to pass on Bodyman.
`
`
`
`Q.
`
`Since your deposition, have you
`
`engaged in any other efforts to develop the
`
`18
`
`20
`
`21
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`22
`
`23
`
`Bodyman program?
`
`A.
`
`Do you mean by —— could you define
`
`"develop," please?
`
`
`25
`Q.
`Yes, yeah, what else have you done,

`1-800-944-9454
`
`’?:_____I_:
`
`
`
`
` Page 13
`
`Lory Lazarus
`if anything,
`in connection with the Bodyman
`
`
`
`
`
`program, since March?
`
`A.
`I have gone over in my brain how I
`would like to expand the character
`
`
`
`
`
`descriptions in the bible; because I have
`
`since learned that character descriptions are
`
` very important, and the ones I wrote
`previously are very brief.
`
`9
`
`Also I have attempted to reach
`
`rJ>UJ[\)|-‘
`
`
`
`Winnie Chaffee to find out if she has
`
`contacts, possibly,
`for me to try next, since
`
`the Cartoon Network has passed on Bodyman.
`
`
`
`U
`
`14
`
`Finally,
`
`I met with a semi friend
`
`
`
`
`
`
`15
`
`to present Bodyman to him, because he has
`
`16
`
`connections in the world of television,
`
`
`
`thinking that maybe he might be able to help
`
`me.
`
`And who is that person that you met
`
`
`
`
`20
`
`with?
`
`A.
`21
`
`
`L€wBQ:)
`His name is Louis-Friedman.
`
`
`And how many times did you meet
`Q.
`
`with him?
`
`Once.
`A.
`
`And when was that?

`
`Q.
`
`And do you know whether he has
`
`discussed Bodyman with anybody else,
`
`subsequent to your discussion with him?
`
`
`
` A.
`
`I don't know.
`
`Q.
`
`Can you be more specific,
`
`
`in terms
`
`of what connections he has with the
`
`
`
`television industry?
`
`
`
`I believe.
`
`
`
`
`10
`
`A.
`
`He is mostly a writer,
`
`11
`
`Sometimes a producer.
`
`He used to produce or
`
`
`
`12
`
`13
`
`manage Victor Borgia or Borgia.
`
`I'm not sure
`
`how to pronounce his name.
`
`He is also friends with the
`
`
`
`creators of the TV show South Park.
`
`
`
`I know he knows them and has
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`believe he is friends with them,
`
`certain, but
`
`I am not
`
`
`
`collaborated with them.
`
`19
`
`21
`
`22
`
`23
`
`24
`
`Q.
`
`Did you discuss any specifics,
`
`in
`
`terms of what he would do in connection with
`
`the Bodyman program?
`
`A.
`
`I had high hopes when I met him.
`
`And just as he was paging through the script
`
`and saw the video, he said,
`
`this is
`
`
`
`brilliant, but he wasn't sure he would be

`ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SERVICES

`
`I
`
`
`
`Lory Lazarus
`
`
`
`able to help me, but he would keep the
`materials, anyway.
` Q.
`Do you have any idea why he said he
`wasn't sure he would be able to help you?
`
`MR. CHARNE: Objection.
`
`It calls
`
`for speculation.

`10
`
`11
`
`A.
`
`
`
`I really don't know.
`
`
`
`
`12
`
`Q.
`
`You mentioned that you had further
`
`reflection on the character descriptions in
`
`15
`
`18
`
`19
`
`further,
`
`in writing?
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`Not yet.
`
`Have you created anything further,
`
`in terms of tangible development of the
`
`
`
` your bible.
`
`
`Did you commit any, anything
`in terms of character description,
`
`
`Bodyman program, since March?
`Yes. A.
`
`
`
`I have made three DVD copies of the
`
`
`
`VHS is becoming passe, and people will want
`
`24
`
`Bodyman VHS tape, because I have been told

`MS. FALKENBERG:
`
`Can we mark as

`

`
`Mr. Lazarus,
`
`if I could direct your
`
`attention to the first line in the third
`
`paragraph.
`
`(Witness looks at document.)
`
`C).
`
`Yes.
`
`Q.
`
`There's a reference to a Bikey
`
`Tegron (phonetic) T—shirt. And in your
`
`deposition you mentioned that your sister had
`
`printed up some Bikey Tegron T—shirts, and I
`
`just want
`
`to know if those are the same
`
`T—shirts you referred to in this letter.
`
`A.
`
`I think so. Must be.
`
`It was just
`
`one batch of T—shirts.
`
`Q.
`
`Have you or anyone else printed any
`
`T—shirts with the BM Bodyman character on
`
`them?
`
`ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SERVICES
`1-800-944-9454
`
`
`
`Lory Lazarus
`
`A.
`
`No.
`
`Q.
`
`Have you or anyone else created any
`
`other products with the Bodyman character on
`
`them, or the shape of the Bodyman character?
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`No.
`
`Moving on to a different topic.
`
`Are you familiar or were you
`
`familiar before today with the Parfums de
`
`Coeur company?
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`Yes.
`
`And in what manner did you become
`
`/"’”‘\
`
`familiar with that company?
`
`A.
`
`When we first received the cease
`
`and desist letter.
`
`Q.
`
`Before that, had you heard of
`
`Parfums de Coeur?
`
`A.

`Q.
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`A.
`
`No.
`
`Have you ever been on its website?
`
`Yes.
`
`When?
`
`After we received the notice of
`
`opposition or the cease and desist letter,
`
`I
`
`don't recall, but
`
`I went to investigate BOD
`
`and BODman.

`
`Q.
`
`Okay. Prior to the initiation of
`
`this action, did you have any familiarity
`
`with any Parfums de Coeur products, either
`
`BOD, BODman or any other Parfums de Coeur
`
`products?
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`No.
`
`So you were not familiar with this
`
`Designer Imposter line of products?
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`The what? ’I'm sorry.
`
`Designer Imposter line of products.
`
`NO.
`
`Moving back to Bodyman.
`
`You
`
`mentioned in your prior deposition that one
`
`of the networks you sought
`
`to pitch Bodyman
`
`to was the Cartoon Network and specifically
`
`to Adult Swim;
`
`is that right?
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`Yes.
`
`And just to refresh, what is
`
`Adult Swim?
`
`A.
`
`Adult Swim is a late night block of
`
`pretty much twisted adult—oriented, mindless
`
`cartoon shows that run like till 4:00 in the
`
`morning or something like that.
