1:(Exhibit A - Confidentiality Order)

Joint Motion for Extension of Fact Discovery Deadline by Qingdao Ecopure Filter Co., Ltd. Modified on 3/19/2025.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Manish S. Shah: The motion to modify the preliminary injunction 61 is denied. The restraint is limited to the proceeds traceable to the sales of products marketed with Ecopure Works, and that preserves the status quo and plaintiff's right to an accounting while allowing defendants to conduct transactions that are not derived from marketing using the Ecopure Works. The balance of harms does not favor defendants, and even if the ultimate award of damages involves some discount or net of the total proceeds from sales, the right to an accounting in the interim justifies the limited restraint imposed by the injunction. Notices Mailed.

SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER. Signed by the Honorable Manish S. Shah on 9/3/2024. Notices Mailed.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Manish S. Shah: Plaintiff's ex parte motions are granted and no appearance on 9/4/24 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. The court limits the asset freeze to accounts containing proceeds traceable to sales of products marketed by use of plaintiff's copyrighted works. The court finds that security in the amount of $10,000 is sufficient to secure the injunctive relief. Enter Sealed Temporary Restraining Order. Notices Mailed.
