| Feb 7, 2023 | 53 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama: A review of Plaintiffs' motion 51 and a further review by the Clerk's of Court has shown that a bond was received by the Clerk of Court. As such, for the reasons listed in the motion, Plaintiffs' motion for return of bond 51 is granted. The ten thousand dollar ($10,000.00) cash bond posted by Plaintiffs, including any interest minus the registry fee, is hereby released to Justin T. Joseph of Greer Burns & Crain Ltd. The Clerk of the Court is directed to return the cash bond previously deposited with the Clerk of the Court to Justin T. Joseph of Greer Burns & Crain Ltd., 300 South Wacker Drive, Suite 2500, Chicago, IL 60606. Emailed notice (axc) (Entered: 02/07/2023) (1) |

| Jan 20, 2023 | 51 | MOTION by Plaintiffs Spin Master Ltd., Spin Master, Inc. for Return of Bond (Attachments: # 1 Exhibit 1)(Joseph, Justin) (Entered: 01/20/2023) (Main Document) (3) |

| Jan 19, 2023 | 49 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama: The Court grants Plaintiff's Motion for Entry of Default and Default Judgment as modified 44 . Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1117(c)(2), Plaintiff is awarded statutory damages from each of the Defaulting Defendants in the amount of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000.00) for willful use of counterfeit Plaintiff's Trademarks in connection with the sale of products through at least Defaulting Defendants' Online Marketplaces. Pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 504(c)(2), Plaintiff is awarded statutory damages from each of the Defaulting Defendants in the amount of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) for willful copyright infringement of the Plaintiff's copyrighted designs. This damages award is a reasonable balance between providing some measure of compensation and deterrence, without crossing the line into over-deterrence. On 11/7/2022, the Court granted Plaintiffs' motion 16 for a temporary restraining order (TRO) and required Plaintiffs to submit a $10,000 bond in order for the TRO to become effective 27 , 28 . The Court granted Plaintiff's motion 32 for a preliminary injunction on 12/5/2022 36 , 37 . The effectiveness of the preliminary injunction was not contingent upon payment of a bond, but assumed that a bond had been submitted. While resolving Plaintiff's motion for default judgment, the Court became aware that the Clerk's Office never received a bond for this case. Because only one defendant filed an appearance in this case 47 , and that defendant has since been voluntarily dismissed 48 , the Court finds that Plaintiff's failure to pay the bond has not prejudiced any Defendants. The Court cautions Plaintiff, however, to diligently comply with all requirements imposed by the Court going forward. Civil case terminated. Emailed notice (axc). (Entered: 01/19/2023) (2) |
