08/02/24	Kellie Defries v. Nanjing Good Stone Sink Decoration Engineering Co doing Business As Aroic 3:22-CV-00549 ( N.D. TX )	MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER: Plaintiff's request for enhanced damages based on willful infringement is denied. In addition, Plaintiff's request for pre-judgment interest is denied. "[I]t may be appropriate to limit prejudgment interest, or perhaps even deny it altogether, where the patent owner has been responsible for undue delay in prosecuting the lawsuit." See General Motors Corp. v. Devex Corp., 461 U.S. 648, 657 (1983). Here, the Court notes that Plaintiff's prosecution of this lawsuit was somewhat dilatory in nature, in that on occasion, she failed to effectuate and establish service of Defendants, or seek entry of default and default judgment, until prompted by the Court. Finally, in addition to monetary damages from the Defaulting Defendants, Plaintiff sought a permanent injunction against numerous other Defendants for whom there is insufficient or no evidence of gross sales of infringing products. During the hearing, the Court denied Plaintiff's request for a permanent injunction. Accordingly, since Plaintiff is now only seeking relief from the Defaulting Defendants, all Defendants except for the Defaulting Defendants are hereby DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. The Court will enter a separate final judgment consistent with this Order. (Ordered by Senior Judge Barbara M. G.
