2025-07-02 |
MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr:The motion to amend order [70] is granted in part and denied in part. Because the counterfeit images are being used primarily to sell more counterfeit product, the Court finds that the damages flowing from the defendants' copyright violations are largely derivative of the trademark violations and thus warrant a smaller statutory award than that proposed by the plaintiff. The Court's previous default judgment order [68] is hereby stricken. Enter amended order. Mailed notice |
