`1 It has come to the Board’s attention that the parties’ previous request contained errors in
`the proposed trial schedule, which the Board corrects in the schedule above.

`Opposition No. 91235681
`
`
`Generally, the Federal Rules of Evidence apply to Board trials. Trial testimony is
`
`taken and introduced out of the presence of the Board during the assigned testimony
`
`periods. The parties may stipulate to a wide variety of matters, and many require-
`
`ments relevant to the trial phase of Board proceedings are set forth in Trademark
`
`Rules 2.121 through 2.125. These include pretrial disclosures, matters in evidence,
`
`the manner and timing of taking testimony, and the procedures for submitting and
`
`serving testimony and other evidence, including affidavits, declarations, deposition
`
`transcripts and stipulated evidence. Trial briefs shall be submitted in accordance
`
`with Trademark Rules 2.128(a) and (b). Oral argument at final hearing will be sched-
`
`uled only upon the timely submission of a separate notice as allowed by Trademark
`
`Rule 2.129(a). 2
`
`
`
`
`2 When parties stipulate to the rescheduling of a deadline for pretrial disclosures and subse-
`quent testimony periods or to the rescheduling of the closing date for discovery and the re-
`scheduling of subsequent deadlines for pretrial disclosures and testimony periods, a stipula-
`tion presented in the form used in a trial order, signed by the parties, or a motion in said
`form signed by one party and including a statement that every other party has agreed
`thereto, shall be submitted to the Board through ESTTA, with the relevant dates set forth
`and an express statement that all parties agree to the new dates. Trademark Rule 2.121(d).
