ORDER (Voiding Temporary Restraining Order) - This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff Xiong Li's Notice to Forego Temporary Restraining Order (ECF No. 20), in which Plaintiff declined to post a security bond. The Court hereby ACKNOWLEDGES Plaintiff's Notice. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(c), "[t]he court may issue a. temporary restraining order only if the movant gives security in an amount that the court considers proper to pay the costs and damages sustained by any party found to have been wrongfully enjoined or restrained." Fed. R. Civ. P. 65. Because Plaintiff declined to post a security bond, the Court hereby ORDERS that the temporary restraining order portion of the Court's February 7, 2025 Order (ECF No. 19) is null and void. It is SO ORDERED. Signed by District Judge David J. Novak on 2/11/2025. (ewat,)

Preliminary Injunction Hearing set for 2/20/2025 at 11:30 AM in Richmond Courtroom 6300 before District Judge David J. Novak. (cgar)

MEMORANDUM ORDER (Unsealing Filings; NULL and VOID per ECF 21 as to Granting in Part Temporary Restraining Order; Granting Motion for Service by Email; Granting in Part Expedited Discovery) - The Court heard oral argument on these motions during a hearing on February 6, 2025. For the reasons stated during the February 6, 2025 hearing and set forth herein, the Court hereby GRANTS IN PART and DENIES IN PART Plaintiff's Motion for Entry of a Temporary Restraining Order and Asset Restraining Order (ECF No. 5), GRANTS Plaintiff's Motion for Service of Process by Email (ECF No. 7), and GRANTS IN PART and DENIES IN PART Plaintiff's Motion for Limited Expedited Discovery (ECF No. 9). On January 27, 2025, the Court granted in part Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to File under Seal (ECF No. 1). As a result, the Court temporarily sealed this case's docket with the exception of the case caption through the February 6, 2025 hearing. During the hearing, Plaintiff moved the Court to maintain this case under seal. The Court denied that request and thus UNSEALS the docket and all filings in this case. Because all four factors weigh in Plaintiff's favor, this Court GRANTS IN PART Plaintiff's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Asset Restraining Order (ECF No. 5). Thus, the Court issues a temporary restraining order enjoining both Defendants enumerated in Schedule A (ECF No. 15) and Amazon.com from continuing to sell products (See ECF Nos. 3 -3, 3 -4, 3 -6, 3 -7) that appear to infringe on Plaintiff's patent-in-suit, pending a preliminary injunction hearing. This temporary restraining order will last 14 days, and Plaintiff may serve this Order on Defendants and Amazon, but only after posting the surety discussed below. Further, the Court hereby SCHEDULES a preliminary injunction hearing on February 20, 2025, at 11:30 a.m. in Courtroom 6300 of the Richmond Courthouse. However, the Court DENIES Plaintiff's Motion to the extent that it seeks to freeze Defendants' bank accounts. Plaintiff has failed to establish a need for this information to prevent infringement; instead, Plaintiff is presuming the ability to collect damages. Moreover, at this point, the potential harm to Defendants is substantial if they are ultimately deemed not liable for infringement. The Court hereby ORDERS that Plaintiff give a security in the amount of $3,000 per Defendant, for a total of $183,000. The Court further requires that Plaintiff post this security before they may serve the temporary restraining order on Amazon or Defendants. If Plaintiff elects not to post a security bond, this temporary restraining order shall be null and void. Should Plaintiff proceed on such a path, they must file a notice informing the Court of their election to do so. The Court hereby GRANTS Plaintiff's Motion for Service of Process by Email (ECF No. 7). The Court hereby GRANTS IN PART Plaintiff's Motion for Limited Expedited Discovery (ECF No. 9). Plaintiff may conduct limited, expedited third-party discovery with Amazon regarding the identity of Defendants and the identity of the bank accounts and Amazon accounts used by Defendants in connection with the sale of infringing products. However. the Court DENIES Plaintiff's Motion to the extent that it seeks to discover the values of Defendants' Amazon accounts or sales transaction records, because at this stage, Plaintiff lacks a strong interest in that information. It is SO ORDERED. SEE ORDER FOR DETAILS. Signed by District Judge David J. Novak on 2/7/2025. (ewat,) Modified on 2/11/2025 (ewat,).
