An affiliate is defined as follows: any entity or individual owning, directly or indirectly (through ownership of one or more other entities), 5% or more of a party. The statement is to be electronically filed as a PDF in conjunction with entering the affiliates in CM/ECF as prompted. As a reminder to counsel, parties must supplement their statements of affiliates within thirty (30) days of any change in the information previously reported. This minute order is being issued to all counsel of record to remind counsel of their obligation to provide updated information as to additional affiliates if such updating is necessary.

| Filing 20 SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER. Signed by the Honorable Manish S. Shah on 12/12/2023. Notices mailed. (psm, ) |
| Filing 19 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Manish S. Shah: No appearance on 12/13/23 is necessary. Plaintiff's ex parte motion to seal #6 is granted. The motions for a temporary restraining order, asset restraint, expedited discovery, electronic service of process, and excess pages #14 #15 is granted. 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. 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, and personal jurisdiction. A $10,000 bond or security is sufficient to secure the injunctive relief. Enter Sealed Temporary Restraining Order. Notices mailed. (psm, ) |
