日期 描述
10/09/2025 ORDER Signed by the Honorable Edmond E. Chang on 10/9/2025: In light of the absence of a timely response, the motion for default judgment [32] is granted on liability and granted in part on damages. Judgment shall be entered in favor of the Plaintiff and against the Defendants in the amount of fifteen-thousand dollars ($15,000) from each of the Defendants. Given the willfulness established by the default, a permanent injunction shall be entered. A separate AO-450 judgment shall be entered. The status hearing of 10/10/2025 is vacated. Civil case terminated. Emailed notice

Instead, the parties shall file the joint initial status report by 10/03/2025.

08/21/2025 MOTION by Plaintiff Collectanea J. Limited TO EXTEND THE TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER ENTERED AUGUST 13, 2025 [D.E. 17]

08/14/2025 REGISTRY Deposit Information Form by Collectanea J. Limited. (Received at the Intake Counter on 08/14/2025)
08/13/2025 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: On review of the memorandum on joinder, R. 13, the Court finds that the two Defendants are properly joined. The two online sellers use exactly the same advertising text that is relatively unique, that is, a 17-word sentence in a somewhat unusual sequence (including using the same word twice for no particular reason). More importantly, in the product description, the sellers use the same three sentences with the same unique grammatical errors. (2.) 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. 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 9 for leave to file under seal is granted in light of the asset-restraint goal. By 08/20/2025, the Plaintiff shall email a redacted version of the TRO that can be entered publicly (redacting the names of Defendants and omitting Schedule A). The Plaintiff's motion 11 for electronic service of process and motion 10 for early discovery are granted to obtain information in order to provide reasonable notice. To track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called), a status hearing is set for 08/29/2025 at 8:30 a.m. The Plaintiff shall file, if appropriate, the TRO extension motion (or a preliminary injunction motion) no later than 08/22/2025. Mailed notice. (jn,)
