| Filing 39 DEFAULT Judgment Order Signed by the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins on 9/13/2024. Mailed notice(air, ) |
| Filing 38 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins:No remaining Defendant has responded to Plaintiff's motion for entry of default judgment. Accordingly, the motion #32 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 $50,000 is an appropriate award of statutory damages. Enter Final Judgment Order. Civil case terminated. Mailed notice (air, ) |
| Filing 37 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Plaintiff should submit a proposed default judgment order to the court's PO Box by the end of today. Mailed notice (air, ) |

| Filing 34 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Before the Court is Plaintiff's motion #23 for entry of default and default judgment against all 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 September 12, 2024. If no objections are filed by that date, the court will consider the motion unopposed.

| Filing 28 PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION Order Signed by the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins on 8/20/2024. Mailed notice. (jlj, ) |
| Filing 27 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction #24 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 #25 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 Jiangip Llc, 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. Mailed notice. (jlj, ) |
| Filing 25 CERTIFICATE of Service by Plaintiff Blujay Studios, Inc. regarding text entry,,,, #24 (Vogt, Keith) |
| Filing 24 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Before the Court is Plaintiff's motion #21 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 August 19, 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. (ca, ) |
