`
`their own.
`
`MR. MCCARTHY: We agree with that.

`
`You're familiar with this proceeding
`

`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`Yes.
`
`And what is your understanding of the

`

`
`Came to our attention at a trade show a

`
`infringing upon our mark LiftMaster.
`
`Q.
`
`And you've earlier testified that part

`
`Primarily residential homeowners.
`
`And you've also referenced a LiftMaster
`
`branded product that
`
`is arguably similar to the
`
`TorqueMaster product which is not a trolly
`
`operator. What
`

`
`A.
`
`Those are primarily commercial
`

`
`Q.
`
`A.
`
`You can answer the question.
`
`Typically,
`
`the commercial users are more
`
`10
`
`sophisticated about our products than the typical
`
`11
`
`residential homeowner would be.

`Q.
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`Do they sell rollers for garage doors?
`
`No.
`
`Do they sell the garage door itself?
`
`No.
`
`Any other parts or accessories to garage
`
`doors or garage door hardware, does Chamberlain
`
`sell any of that?
`
`A.
`
`"I don't believe so.
`
`It's possible that
`
`we sell extremely limited quantities of those
`
`things as service parts for dealers, but I'm not
`
`aware —~ I'm not aware that we do that, no.
`
`Q.
`
`So the Chamberlain LiftMaster
`
`professional brand is only used on garage—door
`
`openers, commercial and residential as well as gate
`
`operators and the parts and accessories for those

`
`The LiftMaster name is used on all the
`

`
`that you mentioned, yes.
`
`BY MR. MCCARTHY:
`
`Q.
`
`So a company that sold —— let me
`
`rephrase that.
`
`The sale of springs, rollers, garage
`
`doors,
`
`those would not be products that compete
`
`with Chamberlain's offerings;
`
`is that correct?
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`That's correct.
`
`Would those products even be sold
`
`through separate trade channels, do you know?
`
`A.
`
`No,
`
`they're typically sold through the
`
`same dealer channels that we use.

`
`confidential and attorney's eyes only. Certainly
`
`the testimony will also be likewise confidential,
`
`but
`
`I think we've got a standing stipulation as to
`
`reviewing the transcript once it's prepared and
`
`identifying confidential material.
`
`I know that
`
`this testimony will be confidential.
`
`Any other stipulations that we need to
`
`take care of at this point in time.
`
`MS. REEDY:
`
`I don't think so.
`
`MR. NABOR:
`
`I thank you all.
`
`MR. MCCARTHY:
`
`I'll renew my objection just
`
`for the end of record for Exhibit MT 5.
`
`MR. NABOR: And I'd like to move that all the
