Hermes International Et Al V. Rothschild
This legal case involves subpoenas issued by Hermes International and Hermes of Paris, Inc. to Prive Porter, LLC and Jeffery Berk in connection with a trademark lawsuit against Mason Rothschild. Prive Porter and Berk have filed a motion to quash the subpoenas, arguing that they are overly burdensome and seek information unrelated to the claims or defenses in the underlying litigation. Hermes argues that the subpoenas are necessary, but has not provided a clear explanation of what information they seek that cannot be obtained from Rothschild. The plaintiff also argues that the subpoenas are being used to circumvent the discovery scheduling order in the underlying case. The parties have attempted to resolve the issues raised in the motion through two good faith conferences. The case is currently pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
