18 2024-02-20 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Manish S. Shah: Plaintiff's ex parte motion for a temporary restraining order, asset restraint, expedited discovery, and electronic service of process, motion for excess pages, and motion to seal 12 13 14 are granted, and no appearance on the motions 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 as to the defendants listed in Schedule A, 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 and causes consumer confusion. 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. If any defendant were to appear and object, the court will take a fresh look at the asset freeze, joinder, and personal jurisdiction. A $50,000 bond is sufficient to secure the injunction. Plaintiff's evidence covers three copyrighted works, no more; the court enters injunctive relief only for the works submitted. Enter Sealed TRO. Notices mailed.
