(Declaration)

22

March 20, 2024

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Before the Court is Plaintiff's motion 20 for entry of a preliminary injunction. In connection with that motion, Plaintiff must serve all remaining Defendants with the following statement: "The Court has taken the motion for a preliminary injunction under advisement and will consider the motion unopposed if no Defendant appears and objects by March 22, 2024." If no objections are filed by that date, the Court will consider the motion unopposed. Plaintiff must serve this minute order upon all remaining Defendants within one business day of its entry on the docket and must promptly file proof of that service. For the reasons stated in the Court's orders entering the TRO, the TRO is extended until the Court adjudicates the motion for a preliminary injunction. See H-D Mich., LLC v. Hellenic Duty Free Shops S.A., 694 F.3d 827, 843-45 (7th Cir. 2012). Because this extension exceeds the maximum duration for a TRO under FRCP 65(b), this extension "becomes in effect a preliminary injunction that is appealable, but the order remains effective." Id. at 844 Mailed notice.

March 25, 2024

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction 20 is granted. Plaintiff's filings establish that it has acted expeditiously to protect its interests and that there remains a significant risk Defendants will transfer relevant assets beyond the Court's reach. For these reasons, as well as the reasons provided in the whole of Plaintiff's filings and as stated by the Court in connection with entry of the TRO, the Court is persuaded that Plaintiff has satisfied the requirements for a preliminary injunction. In addition, the Court finds that the balance of harms favors Plaintiff and that a preliminary injunction serves the public interest by, among other things, protecting consumers from the marketing of counterfeit goods. Plaintiff has also certified and established 23 that it provided electronic notice to defendants of the pendency of this case and provided a link to a website containing relevant case documents, but no objection to the motion for a preliminary injunction has been filed on behalf of any defendant. Enter preliminary injunction order. The Clerk shall unseal any documents that are sealed. The Law Firm of Nixon Peabody LLP, is ordered to add ALL defendant names listed in the Schedule A to the docket within five business days, instructions can be found on the Court's website at https://www.ilnd.uscourts.gov/_assets/_documents/_forms/_cmecf/pdfs/v60/Add_Terminate_Instructions.pdf.

(Declaration Declaration of M. Werber ISO Motion for Default Judgement)

32

April 9, 2024

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Before the Court is Plaintiff's motion 30 for entry of default and default judgment against all remaining Defendants. All remaining defendants have failed either to plead or to otherwise appear to defend against this action. Accordingly, default is entered under Rule 55(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Any objections to the motion for entry of default judgment must be filed on or before April 15, 2024. If no objections are filed by that date, the court will consider the motion unopposed.

36

April 13, 2024

MOTION by Defendant ForbiddenPaper for extension of time to file answer regarding complaint, 1

37

April 15, 2024

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Defendant Forbidden Paper's motion for extension of time 36 is granted. Defendant's responsive pleading is due by May 3, 2024. If the parties are able to reach a settlement before that date, the Court respectfully requests that Plaintiff file a stipulation of dismissal as promptly as possible. Mailed notice.

38

April 15, 2024

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: The following order does not apply to Defendant Forbidden Paper. No other Defendant has responded to Plaintiff's motion for entry of default judgment. Accordingly, the motion 30 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 marks irreparably harms Plaintiff and confuses the public. This 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 (Plaintiff has failed to seek an accounting of profits), the value of 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 separate partial default judgment order. Mailed notice.
