(PUBLIC VERSION) SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable Edmond E. Chang on 05/23/2025. Emailed notice

SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable Edmond E. Chang on 05/23/2025. Emailed notice

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: (1.) On review of the joinder filing, R. 20, joinder is proper given that the remaining Defendants use an exact duplicate of their own very specific branding. (2.) The Plaintiff's motion [17] for temporary restraining order and other relief is granted. An order will be entered under seal separately. Although the Court again expresses its concern about restraining assets before judgment, Grupo Mexicano de Desarrollo v. Alliance Bond Fund, 527 U.S. 308, 331 (1999), the Plaintiff does invoke a statutory remedy, namely, an accounting of profits (that is, disgorgement of profits) under 15 U.S.C. § 1117(a), which is not a mere common-law equitable claim and thus could allow for pre-judgment restraint. Indeed, trademark owners need only "prove defendant's sales only; defendant must prove all elements of costs or deduction claimed." 15 U.S.C. § 1117(a). (The same principles apply to the copyright claims.) To the extent that the restraint might be too broad, the Defendants may appear and file challenges to the scope of the TRO. The balance of factors tips in favor of Plaintiff being able to freeze the assets without advance warning to the Defendants, who likely would seek to transfer the money elsewhere. The Plaintiff's motion [15] for leave to file under seal is granted in light of the asset-restraint goal. The public redacted version of the TRO will be posted. The Plaintiff's request for electronic service of process is granted. The motion [16] for extra pages is granted. To track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called), a status hearing is set for 06/06/2025 at 8:30 a.m. The Plaintiff shall file the TRO extension motion (or a preliminary injunction motion), if appropriate, no later than 05/30/2025.
