MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis:In light of the Court's standing order requiring three business days before presentment of the motion 94 95, the Court re-sets the motion hearing in this matter to 12/30/24 at 9:30 a.m. |

ANNUAL REMINDER: Pursuant to Local Rule 3.2 (Notification of Affiliates), any nongovernmental party, other than an individual or sole proprietorship, must file a statement identifying all its affiliates known to the party after diligent review or, if the party has identified no affiliates, then a statement reflecting that fact must be filed. An affiliate is defined as follows: any entity or individual owning, directly or indirectly (through ownership of one or more other entities), 5% or more of a party. The statement is to be electronically filed as a PDF in conjunction with entering the affiliates in CM/ECF as prompted. As a reminder to counsel, parties must supplement their statements of affiliates within thirty (30) days of any change in the information previously reported. This minute order is being issued to all counsel of record to remind counsel of their obligation to provide updated information as to additional affiliates if such updating is necessary. If counsel has any questions regarding this process, this LINK will provide additional information. Signed by the Honorable Virginia M. Kendall on 12/27/2024: Mailed notice. |

2024-12-30 |
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis: Motion hearing held on 12/30/24. Plaintiff's motion for leave to file excess pages 94 is granted. For the reasons stated on the record, Plaintiff's motion for a temporary restraining order 95 is granted in part and denied in part. The Court grants Plaintiff's request for a temporary injunction, expedited discovery, and service of process by email and/or electronic publication. The Court denies plaintiff's request for a temporary asset restraint. Enter order as modified. Plaintiff's written submissions establish a likelihood of success on the merits, that the infringement is ongoing, that the harm to plaintiff is irreparable, and that an injunction is in the public interest because infringement interferes with the plaintiff's ability to control its intellectual property. Those rights cannot be fully compensated by money damages. There is no countervailing harm to defendants from an order directing them to stop infringement. Electronic service of process does not violate any treaty and is consistent with due process because it is an effective, perhaps the most effective, way to communicate with defendants. Expedited discovery is warranted to identify defendants and any assets to be frozen. If any defendant were to appear and object, the court will take a fresh look at issues related to joinder, electronic service, and personal jurisdiction. The Court finds that security in the amount of $1,000 per defendant (a total of $2,000) is sufficient to secure the injunctive relief. Any motion to compel third-party platforms to provide information relevant to a temporary asset restraint is due on or before 1/30/25 and should be noticed up for presentment. Plaintiff's motion for leave to file excess pages 52 and motion for a temporary restraining order 53 are denied as moot. |

The Court finds that expedited discovery is warranted to identify defendants. The Court also finds that electronic service does not violate any treaty and is consistent with due process because it is an effective way to communicate with the online marketplace defendants. The Court decides these issues, however, without the benefit of adversarial presentation. If any defendant were to appear and object, the Court will take a fresh look at the issues of electronic service and expedited discovery as well as any issues related to personal jurisdiction and joinder.

2025-04-28 |
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis: The Court grants plaintiff's motion for leave to file a memorandum of law that exceeds the standard page limitation 123. With respect to plaintiff's motion for entry of default and default judgment, plaintiff seeks entry of default as to Defendant Nos. 21 and 31, the remaining defendants in this matter. These two defendants have failed either to plead or to otherwise appear to defend against this action. Accordingly, default against Defendant Nos. 21 and 31 is entered under Rule 55(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Any objections to the motion for entry of default judgment by Defendant Nos. 21 and 31 must be filed on or before 5/6/25. Plaintiff must serve this minute order upon Defendant Nos. 21 and 31 within one business day of its entry on the docket and must promptly file proof of that service. On or before 5/6/25, plaintiff is directed to supplement its motion for entry of default judgment with a memorandum that provides the Court with any additional information that would permit it to conduct an individualized assessment of damages on a per-defendant basis, including but not limited to information gathered through third-party discovery 117 of each defendant's sales figures with respect to the infringing products at issue and the length of time each defendant sold those infringing products. The Court sets a hearing on plaintiff's motion seeking default judgment as to Defendant Nos. 21 and 31 for 5/8/25 at 9:30 a.m. |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis: Defaulting Defendants 21 and 31 have not responded to plaintiff's motion for entry of default judgment. Accordingly, the motion 124 is granted. Based on the evidence previously submitted by plaintiff and the admission of liability by virtue of the default, plaintiff has established that a permanent injunction should be entered. The infringement of plaintiff's intellectual property rights irreparably harms plaintiff and confuses the public. Because this infringement was willful, and after considering the value of plaintiff's brand, the relatively low price-point of the infringing products, the amount of product available for sale, the length of time each defaulting defendant appears to have been engaged in infringing sales, and the need to deter infringement that is easily committed and difficult to stop, the Court concludes that $10,000 is an appropriate award of statutory damages against each Defaulting Defendant. Enter Final Judgment Order, as modified by the Court. Civil case terminated. |
