FULL SATISFACTION of Judgment regarding order, entered judgment 60 in the amount of $250 as to certain defendant

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: In its motion for entry of default, Plaintiff dropped a footnote saying that the motion does not apply to Defendants Fibure Shoes and Vonair Comfortable Shoes Supplier. (Dckt. No. 48) The motion did not explain why. They appeared in the original Schedule A (Dckt. No. 2). But based on the Court's review, they did not respond to the complaint, and Plaintiff has not sought the entry of default against them. This Court had to spend its time going through each of the 10 notices of voluntary dismissal, trying to figure out whether Plaintiff ever dismissed them. After clicking through all of them, this Court cannot locate a dismissal for those two defendants. Maybe this Court just missed it, but this Court is giving up its search. They do not appear on the most recent version of the Schedule A dated February 18, 2022. (Dckt. No. 56). So if they weren't dismissed before, they are now. This small episode is yet another example of Plaintiff's counsel placing undue burdens on the Court. Mailed notice.

PERMANENT INJUNCTION ORDER Signed by the Honorable Steven C. Seeger on 4/7/2022. Mailed notice.

FINAL JUDGMENT ORDER Signed by the Honorable Steven C. Seeger on 4/7/2022. Mailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: Plaintiff's motion for default judgment (Dckt. No. 48) is hereby granted in part. The answers to the complaint are long overdue. As a remedy, Deckers seeks $250 per Defendant, or the amount frozen in its account(s) under this Court's Temporary Restraining Order, whichever is greater. See Pl.'s Mem., at 7-10 (Dckt. No. 49). Section 289 of the Lanham Act provides that an infringing party "shall be liable to the owner to the extent of his total profit, but not less than $250." See 35 U.S.C. § 289. Deckers believes it is entitled to all of the frozen funds, because it is the burden of the infringing party to show that the profits were attributable to the non-infringing aspects of the product, and Defendants filed nothing. Not so. Deckers relies on WMS Gaming, Inc. v. WPC Products, Ltd., 542 F.3d 601, 608 (7th Cir. 2008), and related case law. See also Mishawaka Rubber & Woolen Mfg. Co. v. S.S. Kresge Co., 316 U.S. 203, 20607 (1942). But those cases involved a different issue. Specifically, it addressed what to do if it is unclear what percentage of the profits from the sale of a product came from the non-infringing aspect of the product, and what percentage came from the infringing aspect of the product. In that situation, the burden rests on the infringing party to show that profits came from the non-infringing aspects of the product. In other words, the non-infringing party gets all of the profits from the sale of an infringing product, unless the infringing party can show that the profits did not come from the infringing aspects of the product. So, by way of illustration, imagine if General Motors sold a car with a Coca-Cola sticker on it. Coca-Cola would be able to recover all of the profits from the sale of the car, unless General Motors could show that the profits came from the non-infringing aspects of the car (say, from the fact that it was electric and thus was highly desirable to consumers). That's not the situation here. Deckers wants to keep all of the frozen funds, period. Deckers has made no showing that the frozen funds came from the sale of infringing products, as opposed to non-infringing products. (Presumably the websites sold other products, too, meaning products that did not infringe Plaintiff's intellectual property.) The case law does not support the sweeping proposition that, if a defendant infringes a patent, then the plaintiff can freeze and keep whatever money it can get its hands on, even if the money is not connected to the sale of the infringing products. That is, there is no support for the notion that a court can presume that all of the defendant's funds are "profit" from the sale of an infringing product. Plaintiff did not make any showing about Defendants' profits, except the amount of the frozen funds, so this Court awards only $250 per Defendant. (As an aside, this Court does not rest its decision on this grounds, but this Court will note that Deckers also made no showing that the frozen funds represent profits, as opposed to mere revenue. The statute does not authorize a plaintiff to recover revenue. It authorizes a plaintiff to recover "profit." See 35 U.S.C. § 289. That way, the infringing party cannot retain ill-gotten gains. Profit and revenue are not the same thing. So, taking a step back, there are two separate questions. One question is how to allocate profits from the sale of a product, when some of the profits could have come from the infringing aspects of the product, and some of the profits could have come from the non-infringing aspects of the product. Another question is how to proceed if the funds at issue are revenue, and a court must decide what percentage is allocated to costs and what percentage is allocated to profit. At times, the Seventh Circuit in WMS Gaming addressed the first question, meaning how to allocate profits, but then shifted to the second issue, meaning how to approach revenue and allocate costs and profits. It seems odd to apply a presumption that all revenue is profit. That approach seems difficult to square with the statutory text, which expressly authorizes the non-infringing party to recover profit, and only profit, but not all revenue. At some point, the presumption would swallow the text.) There are no remaining claims against any defendant. Final Judgment Order to follow. Permanent Injunction Order to follow. The case is closed. Civil case terminated. Mailed notice.
