| 10/24/2025 | DEFAULT Judgment Order Signed by the Honorable Georgia N. Alexakis on 10/24/25. |
| 10/24/2025 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N. Alexakis: Defaulting Defendant has not responded to plaintiff's motion for entry of default judgment. Accordingly, the motion [21] 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 low price-point of the infringing products, and the need to deter infringement that is easily committed and difficult to stop, the Court concludes that $2,500 is an appropriate award of statutory damages against the Defaulting Defendant. The Court notes that Plaintiff provided extremely limited information to support its request for $200,000 in statutory damages. For example, Plaintiff provided the Court with no information regarding the estimated number of infringing products that the Defaulting Defendant has sold or how long the Defaulting Defendant has been in operation. The lack of information is striking where the Court permitted Plaintiff to conduct expedited discovery on these topics (and others), but plaintiff has not explained what, if any, information that expedited discovery yielded. Enter Final Judgment Order, as modified by the Court. Civil case terminated. |

| 08/28/2025 | ORDER for leave to conduct expedited discovery and service of process by e-mail and or electronic publication. Signed by the Honorable Georgia N. Alexakis on 8/28/25. |
| 08/28/2025 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N. Alexakis: Plaintiff's motions for expedited discovery and electronic service of process 12, 14 are granted. No appearance is required on 9/2/25. 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. Enter Order, as modified by the Court. |
