| 04/12/2023 | (PUBLIC VERSION) - SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable Edmond E. Chang on 04/12/2023. Emailed notice |
| 04/12/2023 | SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable Edmond E. Chang on 04/12/2023. Emailed notice |
| 04/12/2023 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: In this copyright-infringement case, the Plaintiff's motion 12 for temporary restraining order and other relief is granted. An order will be entered under seal separately. Joinder of the three Amended Schedule A Defendants appears to be proper absent adversarial presentation, in light of the online stores' display of the same copyrighted image; the same relatively unique product; the same advertising image of the unique product; and some overlap of the advertising text. Also, although the Court again expresses its concern about restraining assets before judgment, Grupo Mexicano de Desarrollo v. Alliance Bond Fund, 527 U.S. 308, 331 (1999), the Plaintiff does invoke a statutory remedy, namely, an accounting of profits (that is, disgorgement of profits) under 17 U.S.C. § 504(b), which is not a mere common-law equitable claim and thus could allow for pre-judgment restraint. Indeed, copyright owners need only prove "the infringer's gross revenue"; the defendant must prove expenses. 17 U.S.C. §504(b). To the extent that the restraint might be too broad, the Defendants may appear and file challenges to the scope of the TRO. The balance of factors tips in favor of Plaintiff being able to freeze the assets without advance warning to the Defendants, who likely would seek to transfer the money elsewhere. The Plaintiff's motion 10 for leave to file under seal is granted in light of the asset-restraint goal. The Plaintiff's motion 11 for extra pages is granted. To track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called), a tracking status hearing is set for 04/28/2023 at 8:30 a.m. The Plaintiff shall file the TRO extension motion (or a preliminary injunction motion) no later than 04/21/2023.
