MINUTE entry before the Honorable Manish S. Shah: Plaintiff's ex parte motion to seal, motion for excess pages, and motion for a temporary restraining order, asset restraint, expedited discovery, and electronic service of process [9] [10] [11] are granted. The plaintiff's written submissions establish that if defendants were informed of this proceeding before a TRO could issue, assets would likely be redirected, defeating plaintiff's interests in identifying defendants, stopping the infringement, and obtaining an accounting. In addition, the submitted evidence establishes a likelihood of success on the merits, the harm to plaintiff is irreparable and 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 implement the asset freeze. If any defendant were to appear and object, the court will take a fresh look at the asset freeze, joinder, and personal jurisdiction. A $50,000 bond is sufficient to secure the injunctive relief. Enter Sealed Temporary Restraining Order. Notices mailed.

MOTION by Plaintiff Bad Vibes Forever, LLC for default judgment as to The Defendants Identified In Schedule A

MEMORANDUM by Bad Vibes Forever, LLC in support of motion for default judgment[25]

Exhibit 1

Exhibit 2

Declaration of Keith A. Vogt

27

Aug. 23, 2022

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Manish S. Shah: Any objections to the motion for default judgment must be properly filed by 8/30/22. If no objections are filed, the motion will be considered unopposed. Notices mailed.

28

Sept. 6, 2022

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Manish S. Shah: No defendants have appeared to object to plaintiff's motion for entry of default judgment. The motion 25 is granted. Based on the evidence submitted in support of the temporary restraining order 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 irreparably harms plaintiff and confuses the public. The infringement was willful and statutory damages are awarded. After considering the nature of the products, the price point, the absence of any concrete evidence of lost profits or high-volume infringement by defendants, the value of the plaintiff's brand, and the need to deter infringement that is easily committed and difficult to stop, the court concludes that $100,000 is an appropriate award of statutory damages. Enter Default Judgment Order. Terminate civil case. Notices mailed.
