Paris Local Division dismissed NJ Diffusion SARL's application for an in-person interim conference to physically examine two wigs (exhibit items) with strong lighting and photography. The court held the measure unnecessary because enlarged photographs of the wigs were already contained in the claimant's reply brief. Defendant's inadmissibility argument (wrong procedural basis) was rejected, but the substantive request failed for lack of necessity.
