| Filing 27 SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER. Signed by the Honorable Manish S. Shah on 10/10/2023. Notices mailed. (psm, ) |
| Filing 26 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Manish S. Shah: Plaintiff's ex parte motion to seal, motion for a temporary restraining order, asset restraint, and expedited discovery, and motion for electronic service of process #3 #11 #16 are granted, and no appearance on the motions is necessary. 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. (psm, ) |

| Filing 21 AMENDED complaint by Leatherman Tool Group, Inc. against The Partnerships and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A (Attachments: #1 Exhibit 1, #2 Exhibit 2, #3 Exhibit 3, #4 Exhibit 4)(Gaudio, Justin) |
| Filing 20 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Manish S. Shah: Plaintiff shall file a short supplement to its ex parte motions explaining whether the submitted evidence includes alleged infringement of every trademark asserted, and if so, listing each defendant and associated trademark. Based on the court's initial review, it appears that only one trademark is allegedly involved in the submitted evidence, and the court is not inclined to find a likelihood of success on claims of infringement of other trademarks. Plaintiff's supplement is due by 10/10/23. No appearance on 10/10/23 is necessary. The ex parte motions will be taken under advisement. Plaintiff has leave to file its supplement under seal. Notices mailed. (psm, ) |
