Tharp, Jr:The plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunction 41 is granted as to defendant no. 57 "FUNSHOWCASE" over the defendant's objection 52. Defendant FUNSHOWCASE argues that the motion should be denied because it had made only a de minimis number of sales of the allegedly infringing product, totaling around $100, so any asset freeze above $750 would be unnecessary. But it does not offer any evidence (e.g., an affidavit) to support its contention, and, in any event, the plaintiff would be entitled to statutory damages from the defendant that exceed $750 should it prevail on the merits. Thus, defendant's objections are overruled. Enter Amended Preliminary Injunction Order. Mailed notice
