- ilnd;;1:20-cv-07330_de46 RegisterActionDescriptionText "ORDER signed by the Honorable John F. Kness on 3/19/2021: No remaining Defendant has responded to Plaintiff's motion for entry of default judgment. Accordingly, the motion 38 is granted. Because Defendants directly target their business activities toward consumers in the United States, including Illinois, this Court has personal jurisdiction over the Defendants. Am. Bridal & Prom Indus. Ass'n v. P'ships & Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule A, 192 F. Supp. 3d 924, 934 (N.D. Ill. 2016). Plaintiff has presented screenshot evidence that each Defendant is reaching out to do business with Illinois residents by operating one or more commercial, interactive internet stores through which Illinois residents can and do purchase products using counterfeit versions of Plaintiff's trademarks. See, e.g., Dkt. 13. In addition, 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 is warranted. The infringement and counterfeiting of Plaintiff's marks, which irreparably harms Plaintiff and confuses the public, was willful; accordingly, statutory damages are awarded. After considering the nature of the products, their value and cost, the absence of any concrete evidence of lost profits or high-volume infringement by Defendants (Plaintiff has not sought 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 $100,000 is an appropriate award of statutory damages. See, e.g., Chi- Boy Music v. Charlie Club, 930 F.2d 1224, 1229 (7th Cir. 1991) (court considering an award of statutory damages is "not required to follow any rigid formula" but instead "enjoys wide discretion"). Enter Final Judgment Order. Any pending motions are dismissed as moot. Civil case terminated. Mailed notice(ef, ) (Entered: 03/19/2021)" @default.
