course of

herein, as they are kept in the ordinar course of business. Unlke Google'$ producon, American Blind's production is not volumnous. Thus~ we believed that you would have no diffcultly ascertaiing that they were produced as they ar kept in the ordinar coure of

business and to whioh of YOUr requests the documents responded. We are afforded the option to

Civil Procedure. Ooogle, however, was under a court order to match the Bates range to the specific request. As an accommodation, we wil provide you with simlar explanations as to whose files and/or where
the documents came from; consistent with the level ofinfonnationprovided to us by Ham in the coure of

Fourh, with regard to American Blid's selection of the decision regarding Amercan Blind's name was made many year

the Amercan Blind marks,

ago and was not documented at that time. The marks were selected based on the corprate name chosen. Accordingly, no responsive documents exists as to the selection of the Amercan Blind name and
resulting marks. We, however, ar producing non-privileged documents relating to the clearace

and adoption of each mark.
Fift, with regard to American Blind's responses to Requests 13 and 14,

Amercan Blid wil produce responsive, non-privileged documents regardig its advertsing
expendtures. The point of

the statement that '4American Blind's advertising expeditures ar not

necessaly separated to reflect advertising expenditures for products and services sold though

the America Blind domain nae as opposed to though other chanels". was merely to inform
you of

the scope and relevance ofthe infonnation in oUr possession.

Sixth, with regard to Google'S reuest for douments relatig to researh, analysis, or investigation as to American Blind's decision on how to nae its business, as addresse above, no responsive documents exist on name selection.
We are curently in receipt of some, but not all, of

to produce and wil be sending them out for Bates labeling and copying once we have reeived
the full set of the documents. We wil provide you with copies of

the documents that we intend
the above-referenced

documents as soon as practicable.
Sincerely,

Carlie C. Flater
