08/29/24	E Link Plastic & Metal Industrial Co Ltd v. Entities Individuals 1:23-CV-16802 ( N.D. IL )	MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: The following order does not apply to Defendant mossime. No remaining defendant has responded to plaintiff's motion for entry of default judgment. Accordingly, the motion 46 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 patent irreparably harms plaintiff and confuses the public. This infringement was willful and compensatory damages are awarded. Based on the foregoing and in part upon the Declaration [47-1] filed in support of plaintiff's motion, the Court awards plaintiff the following damages amounts, which amounts are not contested by any defaulting defendant: (1) Plaintiff is awarded $140,000.00 from Defaulting Defendant Belevie; (2) Plaintiff is awarded $60,000.00 from Defaulting Defendant nine bull; (3) Plaintiff is awarded $40,000.00 from Defaulting Defendant eMerit shop; and (4) Plaintiff is awarded $15,000.00 from each of the remaining Defaulting Defendants. Plaintiff has also certified and established [50, 56] 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. To obtain release of the bond previously posted in this action, Plaintiff's counsel must file a motion for the return of the bond once the preliminary injunction no longer applies to any defendant. By 8/29/2024, Plaintiff shall submit a proposed partial final default judgment order to the Court's proposed order inbox for entry.
