Lawyers, as good advocates, try to cram as several arguments as possible in their legal briefs, mainly when judges impose limits on how much they can say.However, one side in a trademark argument in Manhattan federal court involving The Gap Inc. says their adversary went a small too far.
In a back-and-forth series of letters last month, lawyers beginning Patterson Belknap Webb Tyler LLP accused lawyers from Fross Zelnick Lehrman & Zissu PC which is representing the Gap of varying the line spacing on their reply brief to a motion for summary judgment to give them “about four additional lines per page.”
The letters were part of a request by the plaintiff to file five additional pages in their memorandum of law in a trademark dispute involving T-shirts labeled with the expression “Lower East Side” and “LES NYC.”The judge in the case, Paul A. Engelmayer, requires documents filed in cases earlier than him to be double spaced.
