| Filing 24 TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable Edmond E. Chang on 05/25/2023. Emailed notice (mw, ) Modified on 6/8/2023 (rp, ). |
| Filing 23 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: The Plaintiff's motion #15 for temporary restraining order and other relief is granted. An order will be entered under seal separately. Although the Court again expresses its concern about restraining assets before judgment, Grupo Mexicano de Desarrollo v. Alliance Bond Fund, 527 U.S. 308, 331 (1999), the Plaintiff does invoke a statutory remedy, namely, an accounting of profits (that is, disgorgement of profits) under 15 U.S.C. 1117(a), which is not a mere common-law equitable claim and thus could allow for pre-judgment restraint. Indeed, trademark owners need only "prove defendant's sales only; defendant must prove all elements of costs or deduction claimed." 15 U.S.C. 1117(a). To the extent that the restraint might be too broad, the Defendant may appear and file challenges to the scope of the TRO. The balance of factors tips in favor of Plaintiff being able to freeze the assets without advance warning to the Defendant, who likely would seek to transfer the money elsewhere. The Plaintiff's motion #3 for leave to file under seal is granted in light of the asset-restraint goal. By 06/01/2023, the Plaintiff shall email a redacted version of the TRO that can be entered publicly (redacting the names of Defendants and omitting Amended Schedule A). The Plaintiff's motion #20 for electronic service of process is granted. To track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called), a status hearing is set for 06/09/2023 at 8:30 a.m.. The Plaintiff shall file the TRO extension motion (or a preliminary injunction motion) no later than 06/02/2023. Emailed notice (mw, ) |
