Date Filed Document Text
June 14, 2021 Filing 52 MOTION by Defendant Soufeel Jewelry Limited for extension of time to file answer regarding complaint #1 [Agreed] (Horwitz, Barry)
June 11, 2021 Filing 51 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sharon Johnson Coleman: During oral arguments, defendant Soufeel Jewelry Limited ("Soufeel") moved to unfreeze assets in its entirety or, alternatively, to reduce the assets frozen to the amount of the profits. After careful consideration of the parties' written and oral arguments, the Court agrees that plaintiff has an adequate basis for an asset freeze but disagrees with the amount of assets that plaintiff asserts should be frozen. As it is unclear what Soufeel's profits were from the sales of the alleged infringing products, this Court orders that Soufeel shall be temporarily restrained and enjoined from transferring or disposing of $132,812.69 (which represents the amount of sales of the alleged infringing products identified to date). Accordingly, Soufeel's motion to unfreeze assets #36 is granted in part and denied in part. Plaintiff's motion for entry of a preliminary injunction #29 has been taken under advisement. Mailed notice. (ym, )
