12/05/22 | DEFAULT JUDGMENT ORDER Signed by the Honorable Joan B. Gottschall on 12/5/2022.Mailed notice(mjc, ) (Entered: 12/05/2022) | |
12/05/22 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Joan B. Gottschall: The deadline of 11/28/2022 to object to plaintiff's motion for entry of default and default judgment has come and gone (see 41 ), and no objection has been filed. Plaintiff's motion 38 for entry of default and default judgment is granted. Plaintiff asks the court to award "total profits," and, where applicable, statutory damages for design patent infringement under 35 U.S.C. § 289. Some defendants appear to sell non-infringing products. Plaintiff nevertheless asserts that all money in defendants' frozen financial accounts is presumptively profits from infringement, relying principally on WMS Gaming Inc. v. WPC Productions Ltd., 542 F.3d 601, 608 (7th Cir. 2008), as amended (Sept. 16, 2008), which is a trademark, not a patent, case. Nonetheless, WMS Gaming is consistent with Bergstrom v. Sears, Roebuck & Co., 496 F. Supp. 476, 497 (D. Minn. 1980), a design patent case, insofar as Bergstrom holds that, regarding subtracting costs from gross revenue to calculate profits from infringement under 35 U.S.C. § 289: "The burden of establishing the nature and amount of these costs, as well as their relationship to the infringing product, is on the defendants." Bergstrom, 496 F. Supp. at 497 (citing Henry Hanger & Display Fixture Corp. of Am. v. Sel-O-Rak Corp., 270 F.2d 635, 643 (5th Cir. 1959)); see also John Skenyon, Christopher Marchese & John Land, Patent Damages Law and Practice § 2:78 (Westlaw Nov. 2021 update). Accordingly, and because no defendant has appeared to rebut the presumption that the contents of defendants' financial accounts are profits from infringing activity, plaintiff's request for damages is granted. Enter default judgment. Civil case terminated.Mailed notice (mjc, ) (Entered: 12/05/2022) | |
