07/22/24	Liao 1:24-CV-03297 ( N.D. IL )	FINAL DEFAULT JUDGMENT ORDER Signed by the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani on 7/22/2024. Mailed notice(lxs, ) (Entered: 07/22/2024)
07/22/24	Liao 1:24-CV-03297 ( N.D. IL )	MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: No remaining defendant has responded to plaintiff's motion for entry of default judgment. Accordingly, the motion 42 is granted. Based on the evidence previously submitted by plaintiff and the admission of liability by virtue of the default, plaintiff has established that a permanent injunction should be entered. The infringement of plaintiff's design patent and copyrights irreparably harms plaintiff and confuses the public. This infringement was willful and statutory damages are awarded. After considering the nature of the products, the price point, the absence of any concrete evidence of lost profits or high-volume infringement by defendants (plaintiff has failed to seek an accounting of profits), the value of plaintiff's brand, and the need to deter infringement that is easily committed and difficult to stop, the Court concludes that $50,000 is an appropriate award of statutory damages. Plaintiff has also certified and established 46 that it provided electronic notice to defendants of the objection deadline, but no objection to the motion for entry of default judgment has been filed on behalf of any defendant. Because no default judgment hearing has been requested, the default judgment hearing tentatively set for 7/25/2024 is stricken. The Clerk of the Court is directed to return the surety bond posted in the amount of thirty-eight thousand dollar ($38,000) to Plaintiff or its counsel, Whitewood Law PLLC.
