MINUTE entry before the Honorable Andrea R. Wood: Plaintiff's motion for entry of default judgment 39 is granted as to all remaining defendants, with the exception of Defendant FunnyToysUS. Specifically, after a hearing on 1/3/2024 and having considered Plaintiff's motion and supporting materials, the Court grants Plaintiff's request for entry of default and default judgment as to Defaulting Defendants. The Court previously determined that entry of default pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(a) was appropriate 50. "The basic effect of an entry of default. is that upon default, the well-pleaded allegations of a complaint relating to liability are taken as true." VLM Food Trading Int'l, Inc. v. Ill. Trading Co., 811 F.3d 247, 255 (7th Cir. 2016) (internal quotation marks omitted).The Court finds that Defaulting Defendants' infringing conduct was willful. With respect to monetary relief, Plaintiff requests an award of $100,000 in statutory damages under 15 U.S.C. § 504(c) against each Defaulting Defendant. In determining the amount of statutory damages to award in this case, the Court has considered the difficulty or impossibility of proving actual damages, the circumstances of the infringement, the efficacy of the damages as a deterrent to future infringement, the value of the Plaintiff's brand and its efforts to protect the brand, and the extent or profitability of the Defaulting Defendants' wrongful activities. In addition, the Court has considered the amounts of statutory damages requested and awarded in similar cases. Based on these factors, the Court awards Plaintiff $100,000 per Defaulting Defendant. Enter Default Judgment Order. The case remain pending as to Defendant FunnyToysUS, which has a motion to dismiss that will be addressed by separate order.
