`PETITIONER’S PRETRIAL DISCLOSURES
`
`Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26 and the Trademark Rule of Practice
`
`2.121(e), Petitioner Akasa (Europe) Limited (“Petitioner”), through its undersigned attorneys,
`
`respectfully makes to Respondent Akaso Tech LLC (“Respondent”) its pretrial disclosures based
`
`upon its current knowledge and after a good faith search for information. In making these
`
`disclosures, Petitioner does not waive any applicable privileges.
`
`Petitioner hereby discloses the name and address of its witness from whom Petitioner
`
`intends to take testimony:
`
`
`
`
`
`Mr. Wai-Ming Tai
`Director of Akasa (Europe) Limited
`Unit 31, Metropolitan Centre, Taunton Road,
`Greenford, Middlesex UNITED KINGDOM UB6 8UQ
`
`Mr. Wai-Ming Tai is expected to testify about use in commerce (in the United States) of
`
`Petitioner’s “AKASA” trademark in connection with Petitioner’s goods, including referencing
`
`numerous invoices for products sold under Petitioner’s mark that were sent to customers in the
`
`United States.
`
`The foregoing is relevant to the DuPont likelihood of confusion factors of similarity of
`
`the marks, relatedness of the goods, and similarity of trade channels, as well as to
`
`
`
`Petitioner’s use of its mark in commerce, Petitioner’s priority of use, and the date of Petitioner’s
`
`first use of Petitioner’s Mark in commerce.
