,customers and/or potential customers, to refer to its retail business, STATE the name that was

broad; unduly burdensome and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery offelevant or ,
admissible evidence. ,American Blind also objects to ths request to the extent that it calls for the
12
.' ..
ANSWER: ' American Blind objects to this interrogatory because,
it is over
production of documents protected by the attorney client privilege or the attorney work product
13
doctre. SUbject to and without waiving these objections, American Blind states that the name
14 '
, changes that American Blind has undergone reflect the changes in the products being sold by
15
Amercan Blid at any given tie and changes in the marketplace iI general. By way of
16
exampie~ as the company expanded from sellig window treatments to sellng wall coverings and
17
window treatments; the n!le was changed from "American Blind" to "American Blind and
1~
Walpaper Factory." ,When the company decided
to expand its product offerigs to include light
19
fixtue~, pictUes and throw rugs, the company changed its name to "American Blid &
20
Wall1?aper &,More." During the late 1990's, the company clianged its corporate name
to
" 21
"deco!atetoclay.com" to inClude additional produèts and services then being offered by the
22,
Company and to evidence its strong internet presence. It was subsequently detennned that
23
customers identified with the "American Blid'; names too strongly to fully cross over to the
24
"decoratetoday.com" brad name as, the sole brand name. As a result, the name was changed
25
back to "American Blind, Wallpaper &
More" to incorporate the "American Blid" names while
coverigs. American
26
, signifyig that the'company sold more than window treatments and wall
